Here are a few of the most impactful climate books I've read. First up: "Less is More" by @jasonhickel. Yes, we CAN organize society around human thriving instead of further enriching billionaires. Yes, we DO need to deal w growthism to stop climate and ecological breakdown. 
Next, "Braiding Sweetgrass" by Robin Wall Kimmerer. Such a tour de force melding of science, indigenous wisdom, and poetry. I dare you to read it without crying. Especially the elders as last living remnants of their mother tongues, and how language is so much more than language.
"Merchants of Doubt" by @NaomiOreskes and @ErikMConway (who happens to be a colleague of mine at the space lab). The classic exposé of the evil scholars who create confusion and delay in support of deadly corporate malfeasance with their lies. Yes, evil.
"Love Letter to the Earth" by @thichnhathanh. A little gem of a book. You can feel the love, compassion, and concern in every word. As a writer, I draw so much inspiration from Thay.
"The Ends of the World" by @PeterBrannen1. Humans are in the process of engineering a mass extinction event, and this is as bad as it sounds. But to really understand what this means you need to take a tour of life on Earth over the last half billion years.
There's my book too, which was certainly influential to my own thinking - personally, my thinking about climate ecological breakdown depends on my writing about it. And it has been helpful to others. (Note: I put it online for free - check out my twitter bio for link.)
There are many other amazing climate books but these are a few at least that are special to me and that bubbled up in my mind, and now I need to get some work done! Happy holidays everyone.
