Global warming and climate change are the focus of this book filled with infographics on the topic. The text is brief, so readers will need to bring some background information to the experience to understand the colorful graphs and charts that make up the book. Each spread describes a specific subject, such as plastic in the ocean, using a few sentences and boldly colored graphs and symbols. Originally published in the UK in 2022, the U.S. version retained British spellings and metric system measurements. Report writers can use this as supplementary material. To make this more useful, later editions should include an index and page numbers for those doing research.
