Geoengineering Earth¢s Climate: Re-Setting the Thermostat

According to 97 percent of climate scientists, climate warming is real and due to human activities. What can humans do to fight climate change? Some say that geoengineering—radical, large-scale technologies that would interfere with Earth's existing systems in ways that would counteract climate change—is the answer. One of the primary goals of geoengineering is to physically remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere—through reforestation, carbon capture and sequestration, and/or cloud-weathering and space mirror technologies to deflect some of the sun's energy from Earth. The technologies come with huge risks: if we change the climate in one part of the world, how will that impact the climate in another part of the world? This book explores the intriguing science as well as the controversies that whirl around it, offering readers ideas for solutions and practical efforts they can implement on their own.

Gertie, The Darling Duck of WWII

In 1945, the attention of the United States, along with the rest of the world, was focused on World War II. After more than five years of fighting, downcast, war-weary people were looking for signs of hope of a better future. One April morning, a duck searching for a nesting spot lands on a tall post sticking out of the Milwaukee River. Situated near a busy drawbridge and the noisy city of Milwaukee, this was an unlikely, precarious spot for a soon-to-be-mama duck to build her nest. But that is exactly where Gertie (named by a local reporter) decides to make her home and lay her eggs. Once local newspapers report the story, crowds begin visiting the bridge to watch Gertie and speculate how she will safely hatch her babies. Soon, news outlets around the world are carrying the hopeful tale of the plucky duck, raising spirits, and giving readers a shared sense of community.
