Book description
How will climate change affect our future world? Will forests turn to
deserts? Will whole cities sink beneath the waves? Will we swim to
school, and take speedboats to work? Will coal, oil, and cow farts
destroy the planet?! Err...no. Probably not.
But the world will change, and our future lives will change along with
it. Are you ready for the future?
In this amazing book, Glenn Murphy, author of WHY IS SNOT GREEN?, takes
you on a time-travelling trip to the year 2050, to answer all your
questions about the future of planet Earth.
Join future-school student Jake as he explores a world of floating
trains and liquid traffic . . . of underwater windmills and volcanic
electricity . . . of vertical farms, rooftop cycle-tubes, solar-powered
smart-houses and grass-powered buses!
Packed with incredible information about the future of food, water,
transport, energy and the environment, this book has all the good stuff
and none of the boring bits! Glenn Murphy received his masters in
science communication from London's Imperial College of Science,
Technology and Medicine. He wrote his first popular science book, Why
Is Snot Green?
, while managing the Explainer team at the ScienceMuseum in London. In
2007 he moved to the United States. He now lives and works in Raleigh,
North Carolina, with his wife, Heather,and two unusually large and
ill-tempered cats.
