Science to the Rescue
Adapting to Climate Change
This series highlights current climate activity along with the measures and programs that will need to be developed and adopted in the years ahead if humanity hopes to adapt to a drastically changed world and avoid the prospect of preponderant migrations, killer storms, famine, drought, mass animal and plant extinction, starvation, wars over natural resources, social unrest, and global chaos. This series is pragmatic; it calmly explains what lies ahead, what work needs to be done, when it needs to start, and how it will be conducted. These volumes offer information about how to become an informed and motivated citizen-activist, how to practice green consumerism, and what some of the leading and most effective environmental organizations are to join, volunteer for, and donate to.

Series review: Science to the Rescue"Each volume explores how climate change is impacting people, animals, and plants, and how it will have increasingly serious consequences. Stressing the urgency of the problems without making the situation seem hopeless, the authors encourage readers to act both by implementing individual actions ... and by supporting social and political changes; ... An extensive list of government agencies and private organizations working on environmental issues and suggestions for further reading offer additional resources for readers wanting to turn what they learn into action."
