Booklist Review

Climate change means more than the planet heating up, and these titles in the Earth's Changing Climate series (available as an eight-book set) show how it impacts a wide range of the planet's resources. Accompanied by high-quality color photographs of diverse scenes around the world, each book focuses on a distinctive aspect of climate change and explains the difference between climate change and global warming. Habitats and Climate Change describes how climate change is negatively affecting desert, ocean, freshwater, prairie, woodland forest, rain forest, grassland, and tundra ecosystems. Specific examples, such as the Great Barrier Reef and the Serengeti, pinpoint direct changes. It also provides specific examples of how butterflies, polar bears, and other threatened animals must adapt or face extinction. All of the books suggest possible solutions to improve climate problems.--Leeper, Angela Copyright 2016 Booklist
