Delano's well-written narrative starts with examples of changes seen by scientists (shrinking glaciers, changing animal migration) then moves to thorough explanations of the underlying science. Subsequent chapters consider ecological consequences of climate change and steps humans can take to reduce the impact of excessive energy consumption. Informative captions accompany photographs illustrating the results of global warming around the planet. Reading list. Bib., ind.
