Admittedly skimmed rather than read, but this is still an excellent summary of what seems to me the most reliable summary of what we know about climate change available. An abosultely fantastic resource to educate yourself with.

The book was an excellent introduction to climate science, and made the data very accessible and easy to understand, including graphics and photographs to illustrate the points. It was a comprehensive overview of the IPCC report findings but written in a way that made them understandable to anyone, and included reviewing the science, criticisms, as well as potential pathways toward mitigation and adaptation going forward. It hits the hard points without being demoralizing, and focuses on steps we can take to preserve the planet for the future. I highly recommend this book as a starting point for anyone interested in learning more about current climate science. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that I've already encountered a lot of this material elsewhere, and so it was a bit redundant for me as a reader with more existing background knowledge on the topics. That said, there was still plenty that I learned from reading this book, and it was still well worth the time I put into it.
