Set just 4 years in the future, Carbon Diaries 2015 presents the world facing dire circumstances due to global warming which has caused extreme climate changes. When England becomes the first nation to start rationing carbon dioxide in order to combat the damage that has already been done, 16 year old Laura records her life in short diary entries. Not only does Laura have to combat draughts, massive floods, and other disasters, she also has to survive her teenage years while her family and world crumble around her.It took me some time to get into this story but by the end I was on the edge of my seat. The diary entries bring the all too believable disasters to life. While reading I thought of all the strange environmental happenings of the past few years and those still to come in the future. The only thing I wish is that there was more action at the beginning of the book like there was at the end. However, with the build up to the climax of the story, I'm more than ready to read the sequel, Carbon Diaries 2017 to find out what 2 more years has done to the world.
