Book Synopsis

La Tierra está compuesta en casi un 70 % por agua. La mayor parte de esta agua está congelada en forma de glaciares. A medida que nuestro planeta se calienta, los glaciares se están derritiendo con mayor rapidez que la usual. El nivel del mar sube y el agua ocupa las zonas costeras. Las casas quedan destruidas. Se pierden los hábitats.

Los científicos han estado siguiendo los cambios en el hielo de los glaciares y el nivel del mar. Descubre lo que hemos aprendido y qué cambios tienen que hacer los seres humanos para que no nos tape el agua.
