If you're not optimistic, you will not accomplish much.
A bit outdated as this was written in 2015, but this is an excellent introductory breakdown of the science of the climate crisis and possible technological, political, economic, and sociological solutions. At the same time as he explains the dire situation we are in, Bill Nye writes with the hope that we will make a difference and pivot to make positive changes. Grounded in realism but remaining optimistic, I think the writing style is very digestible and not too technical. I still found myself skipping over a lot of the science because that is simply something I have trouble absorbing, but despite that I finished the book with a better understanding than I did when I started and that's what counts.
If you're interested in a journey to learn more about the topic I think this is a solid place to start.
