Global Warming (Hot Topics)

Grade 9 Up—The debate on global warming continues. Controversies covered in this volume include its causes, potential threats, and the possible actions society can take to reduce its effects. For each question considered, opposing opinions are showcased in the form of articles, reports, and essays authored by a variety of individuals including journalists, scientists, and policymakers. Each essay begins with brief information on the writer and includes a citation, alerting savvy students to potential bias and point of view. This book will be an excellent choice for teens writing a pro/con paper, as both sides of the issues are clearly delineated. It is similar to David M. Haugen and Susan Musser’s Is Global Warming a Threat? (Gale, 2007), which does not include information on actions to reduce global warming.—Lindsay Cesari, Baldwinsville School District, NY Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
