Reading Level: Young Adults

lexile is 1070L, found at http://www.lexile.com/ this book is good for young people because most just blow global warming off like it's no big deal, in reality this is a huge deal, if it continues not only would the city of New Orleans be under water, the World Trade Center Memorial would be under water, and almost the whole country of the Netherlands would vanish including Amsterdam. This is a huge problem in our world and the next generation needs to understand how big of a problem this is and they need to be ready to come up with ideas to try and stop global warming. Just imagine the destruction if it continues. We can't keep blowing it off. It needs to stop and it needs to stop soon or else there will be consequences, big consequences.
