The Carbon Diaries by Saci Lloyd is a series that takes place in England as the global environmental crisis deepens.  In The Carbon Diaries 2015, Laura Brown is a pretty ordinary London teenager; then England decides to be the first country to "ration carbon".  What does this mean?  Every person in the country gets a certain amount of energy they are allowed to use each month; when it is gone they can't drive, buy food, heat their homes or use electricity in any way until they get more "points" the next month.  It is a radical shift in how people think about using energy, and it goes down hard.  Laura's diary of the first year of Carbon Rationing is riveting.

In The Carbon Diaries 2017 the crisis is spreading.  As Laura's band takes off on a tour of Europe, drought and famine have Africans desperate to get into Europe, flash floods hit across Europe to destroy towns and wipe out crops, and frighteningly facist political parties are winning elections all over Europe, with enevitable clashes with protesting groups.  As Laura struggles to get home, the world seems to spin out of control.
