 Global warming and the environment fits in with our “nature” theme this week.  Holly Fretwell’s book, The Sky’s NOT Falling (Why It’s OK to Chill About Global Warming),  presents a view, back by factual information and fun facts, not often presented by the media.

The Sky’s NOT Falling is an alternative for young people and adults to the many fear-inducing books published today. Author Holly Fretwell, a mother of two and professor of natural resources policy, provides a balanced look at environmental issues and global warming scare tactics. She presents these in an easy-to-read-and-understand format for ages 8 and above.

Yes, there are environmental situations to be concerned about, but Ms. Fretwell encourages optimism about the future of our planet and the solutions we can find with human innovation and creativity, along with individual choice, not political agendas. Ms. Fretwell debunks some of the “facts” running rampant about the environment and global warming in today’s world.
