The Sky's Not Falling!
Why It's OK to Chill About Global Warming
Holly Fretwell's 120+ page book, published in 2007, on understanding the climate change hype.
book blurb:
A balanced alternative to Scholastic's fear-inducing global warming kids' book. The Sky's Not Falling! is for parents sick of seeing their kids indoctrinated by has-been politicians and Hollywood stars.
The book is a fact-filled, apolitical, fun and optimistic look at the future of our magnificent, ever-changing planet and written for kids 9-12. Human ingenuity combined with an "enviropreneurial" spirit will lead us to a bright environmental future and for the most part the book doesn't use such highfalutin words as enviropreneurial.
Parents confronted by Photoshopped pictures of drowning animals and faux documentaries will embrace a book that educates rather than manipulates. The author gives kids the scoop, not just about global warming, but the real-world consequences of the Left's responses to it. - edited

The relatively short book covers many of the climate change topics in an easy to read way that'd likely be of interest to readers of all ages. The Intro begins with the Chicken Little tale for comparison. The acorn that fell needlessly panicked Chicken Little, but looking at the facts revealed what was really happening - first off, the sky wasn't falling.
Some of the liberal leftist's climate change propaganda is exposed, as well as unintended consequences caused by new laws that began with good intentions. Carbon dioxide, CO2, is explained - not an evil, but just part of life and expelled by people and animals and needed by plants to grow and green.
Mostly a well done presentation of the facts, a call to stop panicking and exposes lies and the extremism of the sky-is-falling leftists. I mostly liked and enjoyed it.

The author, Holly Fretwell, is a research fellow at the Property and Environmental Research Center (PERC) focused on public land policy and has testified before the U.S. Senate Energy & Natural Resources Committee.

This is an easy to read and entertaining book about global warming. Hopefully many of today's elementary and middle school children will read it and decide to grow up to be scientists or movie makers who will look at the evidence in a less pessimistic way and come up with ways to improve the world for generations to come.

Excellent book for children on fallacies of modern-day "global warming" movement. Explains how climate change is natural, that humans are not causing it, and that climate change will not cause world wide catastrophes.
