I thought this book was mistakenly good. It was supposed to be about how the world gets wasted. And it seems so weird I need to do what the stars need. Because everybody might rate it four stars, I'm the only person who rates a ton of things five stars. Like, why am I the only one? So this book is (was supposed to) be about how the world gets wasted.

I would recommend this book to meteorologists.

Dưới ngòi bút hài hước, tác giả đã chỉ ra thực trạng nóng lên toàn cầu và những tác hại khôn lường từ nó. Bài học rút ra: hãy tiết kiệm năng lượng khi bạn còn có thể.

This fascinating book is about how global warming can affect our lives today. I learnt that to rule the world a person could make a toxic waste missile and threaten to use it on the countries if they don't let you rule. In the book it told me that in order for sea creatures like dolphins till 2100 people have to stop using trash like plastic and then throwing it away in the sea because then sea creatures will think it is food and try to eat it but they will just choke on it and die a painful death

Very fun to read, absolutely an enjoyable way to understand why the world has gotten to a polluted, warming world today.

The comic book is limited to no age. So feel free to read it even though you think you’re too old for some comic read.

One thing surprised me was that there were tons of knowledge in there so true (I studied beforehand quite a lot in this topic) and compact (which might make a reader feel a bit overwhelmed, but feel free to slow down to think and go on the internet to explore the slightly oversimplified terms).

Have fun reading!

This book is about how we are trashing and ruining our world. It talks about how we should use less energy, food and water. Recycling helps limit the CO2 release and will make the resources last longer. I learnt a lot of interesting facts and the ones that I just said are just a small part of them. This book tought me that we should use and throwaway less things.
