Wildlife on a Warming Earth
About this book
This engaging narrative about the harm global warming inflicts on wildlife is meant for a broad audience, people concerned about the climate crisis but without the time to read lengthy books with lots of scientific jargon. Written in an easy-to-read style, the story will appeal to teenagers and adults of all ages and education levels.
The story begins by introducing the narrator, Greta, an intrepid Carolina chickadee. Greta succinctly explains how all of nature is connected and why humans need to learn to respect the natural world on which they depend. The reader will learn how extreme weather events and a warming planet are harming some of Greta's friends and other wild creatures on earth and in the sky and sea.
Greta admonishes us humans for creating a mess that only we can fix. But she is an optimist and appeals to the majority of people, those who listen to the better angels of their nature, to lead us into the sunshine.
Readers should come away with a sense of urgency, an appreciation of the dire consequences of a rapidly warming planet, a realization that they can make a difference, and above all with hope for a better future.
