Rob Jackson is old school.
The Stanford University professor and chair of the Global Carbon Project was taught as a student that “science should be policy relevant but not policy prescriptive.”
For years, he lived by that credo. But no more.
In a new book, “Into the Clear Blue Sky,” the prominent climate scientist calls for an end to fossil fuel use, reluctantly acknowledges the need to remove carbon from the atmosphere and raises questions about the health risks posed by gas cook stoves.
