"Our biosphere is being sacrificed so that rich people in countries like mine (GT) can live in luxury.It is the suffering of the many which will pay for the luxuries of the few...We need to focus on equity." This sums up so much of the drive behind this entire issue. The people and corporations that want to ignore this as a problem are willingly doing so by disregarding the clear science and out of greed. Meanwhile the inequity grows larger. This will only hasten the problem rather than help it. As was pointed out, one of the key factors in mass immigration is climate change. No longer having a climate that allows stability, growth of crops, clean water, access to adequate food and jobs all become the driving forces behind violence and migration patterns. The increase in climate disasters add to this as well. This is an informative, well written book. It has terrific illustrations and a good, simple message about our personal ability to act in a way that can make positive change. I feel like the message is appropriately written for the intended audience as well as adults who are interested in this topic and need a synopsis. What great courage and intelligence to develop a plan and move forward as Greta is doing.
We should all be Greta.
Highly Recommend.

This is such an important book. The illustrations are cool, Greta Thunberg’s story is laid out concisely, and the basics of climate crisis are laid out in clear and understandable terms. It answers questions from “What is climate change?” to “what difference can half a degree make in 80 years?” and makes it all personal. It gives clear advice for what we should all be doing on a practical daily level, and what we should be getting our governments to work on, on a larger scale. This book is important for children and adults- a must-read.

I can only base this on the introduction as the rest of the book was not in the digital copy I received. But I'm so happy that there is now a book out there about Greta.

This is such a great book. I loved every minute of it. I have been following Greta for a while now and to see her full story in one book is amazing. I have so much respect for that inspiring young girl. Do not underestimate her power. With this natural crisis, which I worry about a lot, it is helpful to see it all in one place. More people should read this

As someone who's husband works in the field of climate science (and has done for over 30 years) the science of climate change has been relevant in my life for a long time and this book was a real treat in that it mentioned so much of the worldwide research and so many of the worldwide initiatives to help reverse the damage.

The book managed to explore a lot of issues in an accessible way, with a great glossary at the end, and also managed to make points without being too scary, preachy or didactic- no mean feat in this field.

My one niggles was with the tense used to talk about Greta - it made her seem like a very old person, a historical figure or at worse as someone no longer with us. This was a little jarring and I hope that the book isn't seen as being too late and shrugged off by people saying that there's no point in trying...

A short, very informative book educating us about the need for each of us to do something positive toward preserving our planet. It begins by telling about Greta, the young Swedish girl that began demonstrating/lobbying for efforts for all of us to save our world resources, & goes on to inform on many topics including recycling, plastics, food consumption, water, waste, climate change, etc. It's written so it's all very easily understood, very good for young & older readers. This applies to every one of us on this planet!
I received a free e-ARC of this book from Laurence King Publishing Ltd, via NetGalley.....in exchange for my reading it & posting my own fair & honest review.

Up until I heard how hard Greta worked to get to New York without flying, I had never heard of her. This book explains her background, as well as ways to fight climate change, big and small.

Since we have only about 12 years before climate change is irreversible, this is a very timely book.

Well written, with examples of what to do, as well as what has to happen, and what has happened.

Highly recommended.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

This book at its core is about Greta Thunberg, a young girl from Sweden who started a climate change revolution. It includes useful and practical advice as to how you can reduce your impact on carbon emissions, as well as easy to digest science.
It is suitable for children and adults alike and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more about global warming.

My only slight issue is that I don't feel like I learnt too much, this isn't the book's fault- I think what it said was important, but I wished it had some more substance to it at times.

"we cannot solve a crisis without treating it like a crisis"
"Instead of looking for hope, look for action. Then, and only then, hope will come"

3.5 stars

We must "swap fear for action." The heart of this book is Greta who learns about the environment and wants to educate others on the Climate Crisis. The facts are clear and it has never seemed more dire for the whole world to act now to save us all!

A nice length for all audiences, and a good way to introduce kids to the issues of climate change. Definitely a good place to start when teaching kids about the environment.
