"Adapted for young readers by Jane O'Connor"--Title page verso.
General Note
Adaptation of : An inconvenient truth: the planetary emergency of global warming and what we can do about it / by Al Gore, 2006
Description
This young readers' version of the recent documentary film's companion adult volume cuts the page count by about a third but preserves the original's cogent message and many of its striking visuals. After explaining that his interest in the environment predates even his mother's reading of Silent Spring aloud to him as a teenager, Gore proceeds to document steeply rising carbon dioxide levels in our atmosphere, and then to link that to accelerating changes in temperature and precipitation patterns worldwide.
