Vi er i gang med at skabe en grøn omstilling i verden. Det vigtigste er, at vi stopper med at bruge kul, olie og naturgas, der udleder drivhusgasser og skaber klimaforandringer.Heldigvis har vi alle klimaløsningerne til at skabe en grøn verden.Klimaløsninger er fx vindmøller og solceller, der laver grøn el. Det er også grønne brændstoffer, der bliver brugt i fly og skibe. Klimaløsninger er også skove og andre naturområder, der opsuger og lagrer kuldioxid fra atmosfæren.I bogen kan eleverne læse om de klimaløsninger, der skal til for at skabe en grøn omstilling.

A moving ecological fable and a lyrical love song to a lost species from the cocreators of One Tiny Treefrog: A Countdown to Survival Millions of years ago, the island of Kaua'i began to bloom with life, color, and sound. In time, the 'o'o bird added its song to the island chorus. Then a new species arrived: people. The impact of more and more humans meant fewer and fewer Kaua'i 'o'o. When scientists realized these unique birds were disappearing from the island, they deepened their efforts to observe them, including by recording their song. In time, only a single Kaua'i 'o'o was singing, and inevitably, a day came when there were none: pau. Complete with clear back matter, this gentle and poetic portrait of a species that evolved over thousands of years, declined, and became extinct only a few decades ago touches lightly on key conservation topics like invasive species and island ecology. Illustrations drenched in tropical color will light up the imaginations of young naturalists and fuel their instinct to understand, protect, and defend our planet's biodiversity.

One thing all deserts have in common is they are arid, or dry. Most experts agree a desert is an area of land receiving no more than ten inches of precipitation a year. The amount of evaporation in a desert often greatly exceeds the annual rainfall. In all deserts, there is little water available for plants and other organisms.Deserts are found on every continent and cover about one-fifth of Earth's land area.
