I am currently in my second book by a very articulate climate science researcher who blames politicians and all types of media for misrepresenting the well-established research in climate science from around the world. Our leaders and our news outlets are seriously misleading us and letting us down.

Yes, humans are effecting global climate and this is having a (mostly) negative effect (now, only barely; in 80 years, somewhat more so). But the effects are not at all how I understood them, apparently, and not at all what the established scientific research in the field suggests. But you would never know by listening to politicians (of either party) nor to tv or print journalists.

Here is a book recommendation: "False Alarm," by Bjorn Lomborg.
