He was a lead author of the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Working Group I report, chapter 9, for the AR4 released in 2007 and is an editor of the
Journal of Climate .
Stott has an undergraduate degree in
mathematics from
Durham University
[10] and completed Part III of the
Mathematical Tripos at the
University of Cambridge . He was awarded a PhD by
Imperial College London for work on atmospheric modelling of the environmental consequences of the
Chernobyl disaster .
[11] After his PhD he carried out
postdoctoral research at the
University of Edinburgh on stratospheric
ozone depletion .
In 2021, he published the book "Hot Air: the Inside Story of the Battle Against Climate Change Denial", a thorough account of the decades-long battle to deny or downplay the existence of the climate crisis.
[12] He was shortlisted for the 2022
RSL Christopher Bland Prize for the book.
