Review
The young readers’ edition of Al Gore’s bestselling An Inconvenient Truth, explains the process of global warming in simple and understandable terms without talking down to readers. In fact the book addresses teenagers as the answer, a new generation with new ideas to combat climate change. Gore goes beyond just explaining what global warming is and what it will do, he explains how global warming is already affecting the planet and all of us: stronger storms, such as Hurricane Katrina, devastating heat waves in Europe, and destructive droughts in Asia are just a few ways global warming is changing the planet. In addition to a strong narrative, An Inconvenient Truth, is richly illustrated with lots of photographs and persuasive graphics. This is truly a wonderful and important book.
