The Earth is in peril—through pollution, global warming, oil spills, and tragic neglect of the environment. Those who respond first are the animals. There is The Fluff, a penguin; Creamy, a harp seal; Tomás, a black bear; Flora, a polar bear; and Lady Athabasca, a whooping crane, among others. Each of them has suffered from global warming and the neglect of the environment, and wants to do something about it. They jump on a magical train powered by positive thoughts and take off to let others know about the problems Earth’s creatures are facing. Soon afterward, they travel to Santa Fe and pick up two young girls, Marina and Joanna, who record their incredible trip. The group travels east (as well as north and south) and along the way finds other friends who have endured hardship from fire, drought, and hurricanes. Their final destination is the White House where they hope their call for help is heard. With this book, young readers can join The Fluff and friends on the Global Warming Express to save our beautiful planet from pollution and global warming. It will be a trip worth taking!

A United Nations sponsored organization made up of over 2500 of the world s leading scientists examined the impact global warming will likely have on human health and concluded that human-induced climate change "is likely to have wide-ranging and mostly adverse impacts on human health, with significant loss of life." Global Warming & Health is a timely and important book that looks at global warming in conjunction with human health. It explores the causes of global warming and documents the effects on people, including greater prevalence of infectious disease caused by warmer water encouraging the growing of bacteria; more frequent deadly weather, such as heat waves, drought, flooding all of which severely impact food and water supplies and can lead to unsanitary health conditions; and how climatic change and pollution decrease air quality, leading to more cases of asthma and other respiratory diseases. Global Warming & Health goes on to discuss what can and is being done, such as initiatives put forth by the United Nations, the policies of individual countries, how education can help, the role of politics and industry, and much more. Global Warming & Health uses an abundance of special features to capture the interest of students: * over 60 full-color photos and illustrations * ask the expert sections, providing real answers to insightful questions * find out more sections, directing readers to additional resources * glossaries of terms at the beginning of each chapter, reinforcing important terms * real-life stories and events, providing examples to reinforce the text * excerpts from primary sources, modeling document-based questions and answers, providing cross-curriculum links.
