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.

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\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Keltie Thomas is a former editor of \u003ci\u003eOWL Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e and the author of many highly acclaimed children's books, including \u003ci\u003eAnimals That Changed the World\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDo Fish Fart?\u003c\/i\u003e, which won the Award of Merit from the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority.
