The Sky is not falling! Why It's OK to Chill About Global Warming

The new book The Sky's Not Falling! Why It's OK To Chill About Global Warming shows kids that it's human ingenuity and adaptability - and not fear of change - that are most likely to guarantee the Earth a healthy future.

Parents who've comforted children upset by pictures of stranded animals and documentaries with dire predictions will embrace this smartly-written book designed to educate, not indoctrinate.

The book was published by Kids Ahead Books and written by Holly L. Fretwell. Fretwell is a natural resources policy expert, adjunct professor of economics at Montana State Univeristy and research fellow at PERC--The Property and Environment Research Center. She brings genuine educational credentials and practical experience to the environmental debate, giving kids the straight scoop about global warming -- and the potentially devastating human and economic consequences of politically motivated responses to it. The Sky's Not Falling! gives kids a balanced look at a complex issue, offering a refreshing, accessible combination of science and economics that will enlighten while it entertains.

Can it really be that human innovation and creativity, combined with individual choice, will yield better environmental outcomes than a deluge of new laws and even more government regulations as advocated by many? Yes!
