Reviews
"This is an exceptional inquiry into the fight against global warming." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

"A useful handbook for reducing one's carbon footprint and encouraging neighbors and communities to do the same." --Kirkus

"Long years from now, Rob Jackson's book will be remembered not for its amazing and comprehensive research, nor for its clear and concise explanations of the challenge to our existence and his specific battle plans for survival. Instead, it will be remembered for its heart. Here is a man who, possessing the deepest knowledge about the most dire of consequences, chooses action over paralysis and hope over despair. This is of course, the natural condition of love. My own hope? That Into the Clear Blue Sky is read, and that Rob Jackson is heard." --Rick Bass, author of For a Little While

"A fascinating look into some of the cutting-edge climate solutions--and for all its technical savvy, this book ends in the right place, with wonderful glimpses of activists like Rev. Lennox Yearwood and Rose Abramoff, who remind us that without movements, nothing can happen!" --Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature

"Turning a battleship in a sea of molasses is hard. In Into the Clear Blue Sky, Rob Jackson identifies the first essential actions." --James Hansen, Director of the Climate Science, Awareness and Solutions Program at Columbia University
