Description

One of Scientific American and The Times (London)’s Best Books of 2024 From one of the world’s leading climate scientists, a heart- and mind-changing book that offers a hopeful and attainable vision for restoring the atmosphere and ending the climate crisis. Climate change is here. From the millions displaced by the floods in Pakistan to Californian and Canadian towns incinerated by wildfires, we are experiencing the anguish that climate change causes. Fossil fuels are making the planet unlivable, and they are deadly. We know that we must cut emissions if we are going to limit the catastrophes, but is that enough? In Into the Clear Blue Sky, climate scientist and chair of the Global Carbon Project Rob Jackson explains that we need to redefine our goals. As he argues here, we shouldn’t only be trying to stabilize the Earth’s temperature at some arbitrary value. Instead, we can restore the atmosphere itself in a lifetime—and this should be our moral duty. Restoring the atmosphere means reducing the amount of greenhouse gases in the air to pre-industrial levels—starting with super-potent methane—to heal the harm we have done. Emissions must be cut, first and foremost. But to safeguard a livable planet for future generations, we must repair the damage we have caused. Jackson introduces us to the brilliant leaders and innovators behind some of the boldest and game-changing climate solutions under development. When it comes to greenhouse gas mitigation, our choices matter, because it is easier to stop emissions from happening than to remove greenhouse gases from the air later. But while mitigation is crucial, no number of solar panels, electric cars, and veggie burgers alone will be enough to halt climate change. Decades of inaction have convinced Jackson that we need to remove greenhouse gases from the air using everything from nature to cutting-edge technologies. Into the Clear Blue Sky is a heart- and mind-changing book. Guided by one of the leading scientists in this fight and a deeply gifted storyteller, we learn why we should all feel hopeful. One way or another, we will restore the planet together. The question is how, and how long will it take? Read more

  • Very insightful, thought-provoking, and emotionally stirring book.
Format: Kindle
It is for both scientists and non-scientists who want to know how methane emissions harm our climate. The use of site visits and expert interviews brings credibility and personability to the narrative. I feel like the author: "We have known so long about climate change, and we either do nothing, or worse, doubt and hinder any progress toward mitigation." This book makes both of them less defendable. ... show more

  • Methane reductions for the win!
Format: Hardcover
Best book on climate change I have read. Describes lots of problems but also a huge range of existing solutions. Highlights the oversized (and accelerating) short term impacts of methane (aka "natural" gas). The author shares his hope that at least this aspect of climate change can be resolved during our lifetimes, avoiding massive societal cost. ... show more

  • One of the best books on Climate Change
Format: Hardcover
I really liked this book. It explains some of the basics of GHGs very well and also makes important points about methane. The book also suggests practical ideas that every individual can try at home and outside to reduce GHG emissions and in turn global warming. I am also passionate about reducing methane emissions, and I have an initiative called Methane Matters. This book is really informative and great to read for anyone who wants to learn more about climate change and solutions. ... show more

  • A positive alternative to climate doom scrolling
Format: Audiobook
I'm painfully aware of the continual bad news about climate change. We aren't moving fast enough, people aren't paying attention, the hottest year 2 years in a row... It can be overwhelming. Professor Jackson offers some hope. He describes emerging technologies that have the potential to make a real difference. Even more inspiring, he highlights people making a difference through their own, individual actions. Don't give up. We can all make a difference! ... show more
