Summary/Review: "A long-awaited guide to climate action and justice for young readers by bestselling, award-winning, internationally acclaimed writer and climate activist Naomi Klein. The world is getting hotter -- we know temperatures are rising all over the planet. This book is about why they are rising, and how their rise is changing the climate we all share, and most importantly, what we can all do about it. Change for the better means more than doing our best to keep temperatures down. We need to act against climate change to protect the natural world and the planet that supports all life. There are many unfair things about climate change. One of them is the way it is stealing a healthy, clean planet from young people. And the way in which its effects are unequally distributed, often hitting harder in poorer and minority communities. So this book is also about justice, or fairness, and how our response to climate change can also help create not just a healthier world, but a more just one for the people who live here. The children and teens of today have done nothing to create the crisis of climate change, but they will live with the worst effects of it--unless we change things. Naomi plainly shows the challenges, and looks at all the ways people are trying to address climate issues, as well as providing inspiring profiles of young people around the globe who are making a difference. Change for the better IS possible."--
