Reviews
"A must-read for anyone with an interest in becoming a climate change activist. Reviewer Rating: 5" --Children's Literature, "A group of young, ethnically and geographically diverse scientists share their passions and hopes for Earth's climate future. Unlike many books on climate change, this one emphasizes possibility and hope over doom. Fourteen scientists from such wide-ranging disciplines as psychology, materials science, urban planning, and cellular agriculture share with readers their particular area of expertise as it relates to climate and how a positive change can be effected. Each chapter highlights one scientist and is laid out in the same way, with a basic intro of the scientist's childhood interests, a photo of the scientist, details on how their work pertains to climate science, and what readers can do to help. Geared toward middle-grade readers, the book simply and effectively introduces key concepts such as feedback loops and computer models. More complicated, potentially unfamiliar words (public policy, cardiovascular disorders) are printed in blue type within the text, which cues readers to find their definitions in a sidebar nearby. The book doesn't overwhelm readers with specifics or too many statistics, and it does leave them with a sense that real, positive change is possible. A separate section outlines ways readers can help fight climate change. While the suggestions may not seem that impactful (take shorter showers, write to politicians), the narrative emphasizes over and over the effectiveness of working together to accomplish a goal. People depicted throughout the various photos are diverse. Practical, creative, and empowering."--Kirkus Reviews, "The featured climate warriors are not only a balanced mix of men and women scientists with racial and ethnic diversity, but they also depict an amazing array of science itself, from ecology and materials science to psychology and economics."--Booklist, "[E]mphasizes over and over the effectiveness of working together to accomplish a goal. . . . Practical, creative, and empowering."--Kirkus Reviews, "A big problem like climate change elicits big questions and answers, and in this informational book, Gehl profiles 14 scientists, aka climate warriors, whose own big questions are helping solve problems associated with climate change. First, the author opens with background information, such as the difference between climate and weather and how humans are causing climate change. Each profile focuses on the scientist's guiding question, research, and possible solutions, and offers readers related suggestions on how to save the planet. The featured climate warriors are not only a balanced mix of men and women scientists with racial and ethnic diversity, but they also depict an amazing array of science itself, from ecology and materials science to psychology and economics. Natalie Rubio, for example, is a cellular agricultural researcher who's studying how we can grow cultured meat from cells instead of raising animals for meat. Color photos of the scientists in action lend a personal connection to their work, while short profiles of young climate warriors and more strategies to fight climate change close out this approachable resource."--Booklist

Synopsis
Who do you think of when you imagine a climate scientist? Maybe a biologist? Or a chemist? But economists study the climate too! Meet fourteen different scientists who are working to solve the climate crisis and the surprising ways they are doing it. Along with explanations of different areas of science and the many ways scientists are working to save the climate, readers will find tips for how they too can work for change. Climate Warriors informs young readers and gives them the tools they need to make a difference. Author and neuroscientist Laura Gehl introduces readers to these incredible scientists, the projects they are working on, and what inspired them to choose their fields of study. From ecology to civil engineering, computer modeling to food science, we have lots of ways to combat climate change. Along with explanations of different areas of science and climate solutions, find out what you can do to make a difference.
