A gentle starting guide with a good pedigree would be the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures.
These are a series of lectures on a single topic each, which have been held at the Royal Institution in London each year since 1825, missing 1939–1942 because of the Second World War.
The lectures present scientific subjects to a general audience, including young people, in an informative and entertaining manner. [1]
The 2020 series addresses the global energy balance, the basis of climate (and other things).
Geologist Chris Jackson shows us how the planet’s oldest rocks and fossils tell a story of radical climate changes throughout history and how the Earth’s finely balanced tectonic system – volcanoes – has controlled the level of carbon dioxide in the air.
Physicist and oceanographer Helen Czerski unpicks the Earth’s heating and plumbing systems, showing how shifting ocean water creates an engine that distributes heat and nutrients around our planet.
