Since 1880, global sea levels have risen steadily each year to a global average of about 8-9 inches (20-23 cm), and they're still rising. By 2100, the sea could climb as much as 6.6 feet (2 m) higher than it is today.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003ci\u003eRising Seas\u003c\/i\u003e gives youth an eye-popping view of what the Earth might look like under the rising sea levels of climate change. Photographs juxtapose the present-day with that area's projected future. The shocking images will help readers understand the urgency for action. This updated and expanded edition features three new locations -- London, UK, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and Manila, Philippines -- as well as brand new sections about climate anxiety (and what you can do about it) and how the world worked together to close the ozone hole, giving young readers a reason to hope for a better future.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  The 8 extra pages and thorough revision make this an important warning for the future.   \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Keltie Thomas (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Firefly Books |  Hardback | Laminated cover |  2023-08-15","offer_id":46011513143551,"sku":"9780228104452","price":29.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_c2920119-2181-434a-9361-e784ecc4fccc.jpg?v=1723062055","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9780228104452","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
