Though this book was written pre-Trump's presidency, it's a great antidote to climate anxiety and depression. Bill Nye continues to be a wonderful education and a beacon of hope of a better future for all of us in a time of climate change. In this book, he talks about the science of climate change and the many technologies that can be used to fight it and encourages the US to take the lead in proposing regulations to mandate the use of these technologies. It's a very hopeful and wonderful book that I recommend to absolutely everyone who feels hopeless about the current times. "Earth is not just our home, it is also our house."
One large point I feel that Bill Nye misses, is that corporations are lobbying against many of the regulations that he proposes. He seems to get this with the fossil fuel industry, but can't quite seem to put together that many other industries also profit from keeping carbon fees/taxes out of the economy.
