INTO THE CLEAR BLUE SKY The Path to Restoring Our Atmosphere

Pace matters in a globe-trotting audiobook that illuminates the scientific basis for climate change. Sean Patrick Hopkins narrates enthusiastically at the right tempo. He also alters his tone ever so slightly when quoting experts. Stanford-based Jackson, chair of the Global Carbon Project, is among the mainstays of those doing hands-on work in ecology: He has marked gas leaks in Washington, DC, witnessed the deaths of river dolphins in the Amazon, and reported on rewilding efforts in Finland and carbon capture in Iceland. Much of his own research concerns how to restore methane levels to pre-industrial levels. Subtitled "The Path To Restoring Our Atmosphere," this is both a primer for positive action and a warning about what happens if we don't act.
