Thinking critically : climate change / by Mooney, Carla,1970-author.(CARDINAL)349099;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 59-60) and index."Scientists agree that climate change is at least partially to blame for extreme heat. They agree Earth's current warming trend is not a natural event. Instead, they believe human activity is the leading cause. Heatwaves across the contiguous United States have occurred more often and lasted longer since the 1960s, which is consistent with a warming climate due to climate change"--Ages 14-18

Hothouse Earth : an inhabitant's guide / by McGuire, Bill,1954-author.(CARDINAL)387587;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 165-167) and index."Hothouse Earth: an Inhabitant's Guide provides a post-COP26 perspective on the climate emergency, acknowledging that it is now practically impossible to keep this side of the 1.5°C dangerous climate change guardrail. The upshot is that we can no longer dodge the arrival of a disastrous, all-pervasive climate breakdown that will come as a hammer blow to global society and economy. Bill McGuire, Professor of Geophysical and Climate Hazards, explains the science behind the climate crisis, painting a blunt but authentic picture of the sort of world our children will grow old in, and our grandchildren grow up in; a world that we catch only glimpses of in today's blistering heatwaves, calamitous wildfires and ruinous floods and droughts.Bleak though it is, the picture is one we must all face up to, if only to spur genuine action - even at this late stage - to stop a harrowing future becoming a truly cataclysmic one." -- Amazon.
