"Global Warming and the Dinosaurs - Fossil Discoveries at the Poles"
By Caroline Arnold and
Illustrated by Laurie Caple
Dinosaur fossils found at the poles are shedding light on the effects of global warming. Evidence from bones and teeth to trackways and skin impressions raises important questions: How did dinosaurs cope with three months of total darkness in winter? What plants grew in the polar regions? How cold was it? What are the implications for today, as glaciers retreat, ice shelves melt, and permafrost thaws? The polar regions are a unique library of the past, and "Global Warming and the Dinosaurs" introduces readers to the gigantic prehistoric creatures that inhabited them.
