The truth about the climate crisis is an inconvenient one that means we are going to have to change the way we live our lives - and this affects young people above all. Our climate crisis may at times appear to be happening slowly, but in fact it has become a true planetary emergency.

This YA edn of An Inconvenient Truth, adapted from the acclaimed book and film, is about the urgent need to solve the problems of climate change. It presents facts and information on all aspects of global warming in a direct, thoughtful and compelling way, using explanatory diagrams and dramatic photos. The YA edn has been edited with a9-14-year-old readership in mind, so sections aimed specifically at adults (eg. insurance implications, investing in energy material) have been omitted in favour of clear text and diagrams. The overall aim is to gear the content to the people who will in fact be dealing with global warming for the rest of their lives.
