The storms have changed. So have the rules. After months of chasing patterns no one else believed in, Beck Maddox and Savannah Reyes find themselves pushed beyond prediction and into survival. What began as an investigation has become something far more dangerous—where trust is scarce, motives are hidden, and every decision carries consequences that can’t be undone. The weather no longer behaves the way it should. Neither do the people watching it. As pressure builds and the skies grow unpredictable, Beck and Savannah are forced to confront a truth neither of them is ready for: some ...

Look up. No, really—look. Those lines across the sky? Some vanish in minutes. Others spread out, hang around, and… Well, they don’t look normal. Sure, people have talked about chemtrails for years... you know, those lingering streaks behind planes. Are they natural? Weather experiments? Geoengineering? Climate control? This isn’t a doom-and-gloom book, and it’s not full of conspiracy theories either. Instead, you’ll get some history, some real government projects that sound like sci-fi but actually happened (yep, they’ve been trying to mess with the weather for a long time), ...

If climate catastrophes like Hurricane Sandy seem to be on the rise, it’s for a reason. The likelihood of these extreme weather events are increasingly being tied to man-made global warming, mostly through overproduction of carbon dioxide. It’s no longer an abstract idea; it’s being felt locally, on every level. Climate Change and Extreme Weather gives you the tools to better understand what’s behind climate change, what might be in store during the coming decades, and how we can begin to reverse the detrimental effects mankind has had on the atmosphere.
