Rob Jackson is a climate scientist who has been leading global efforts to reduce millions of tons of greenhouse gas emissions and improve human health, safety, and air and water quality. Methane emissions are a major focus of Rob’s work as there is nothing else that gives as much power to slow global warming over the next decade or two. ?
I recently caught up with Rob to discuss his new book, his work studying methane over the last three decades and his hopes for the future. You can listen to our conversation here:
"Into The Clear Blue Sky” the path to restoring our atmosphere, is being released at the end of July by Simon & Schuster.? In the book Rob tells the story of the people creating and driving some of the boldest and most impactful climate solutions under development and what motivates and inspires these people to dedicate their careers to addressing climate change.?
Rob Jackson is the Chair of the Global Carbon Project, a Senior Fellow at Stanford’s Woods Institute for the Environment and Precourt Institute for Energy, and a professor of earth science at Stanford University.?

5 个月The consuming less message is not far from the we all need to go back and live in caves message. We don’t need to do that to create a sustainable society. It is the message that puts many people off taking action on climate change and provides climate change deniers with the opportunity to pump out their lies. We don’t need to live in caves or reduce our standard of living in order to reverse climate change. We need to find better and more sustainable ways of doing things to lift our standard of living.
