How to Avoid a Climate Disaster The Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs We Need by Bill Gates

Author: بیل گیتس (Bill Gates)

In this urgent, authoritative book, Bill Gates sets out a wide-ranging, practical – and accessible – plan for how the world can get to zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to avoid a climate catastrophe.

Bill Gates has spent a decade investigating the causes and effects of climate change. With the help of experts in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science, and finance, he has focused on what must be done in order to stop the planet’s slide toward certain environmental disaster. In this book, he not only explains why we need to work toward net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases, but also details what we need to do to achieve this profoundly important goal.

He gives us a clear-eyed description of the challenges we face. Drawing on his understanding of innovation and what it takes to get new ideas into the market, he describes the areas in which technology is already helping to reduce emissions, where and how the current technology can be made to function more effectively, where breakthrough technologies are needed, and who is working on these essential innovations.

Finally, he lays out a concrete, practical plan for achieving the goal of zero emissions-suggesting not only policies that governments should adopt, but what we as individuals can do to keep our government, our employers, and ourselves accountable in this crucial enterprise.

As Bill Gates makes clear, achieving zero emissions will not be simple or easy to do, but if we follow the plan he sets out here, it is a goal firmly within our reach.

Really glad I read this just to help me understand the problem more (like a breakdown various agricultural activities emissions percentages etc.). The solutions seem like one big testimonial of things he’s doing but actually, we should appreciate that because there are a lot of other old rich guys out there that aren’t putting as much of their attention & resources towards this issue. Go Bill! Melanie Harries                                                                                       rated it: 5.0 from 5.0

A book everyone should read. It gives you a clear perspective on how green house gases are affecting the planet—mostly the poorest people—and how they could continue to affect it if we follow our current path. Besides this you get to hear Bill Gates’s perspective on the problem and possible solutions and in my opinion he has one of the coolest perspectives of our time.

Great read, ignore the Gates haters Loved the book, clear and concise up to date work on climate change. It’s amazing how many Gates trolls there are in reviews, totally ignoring the actual content. I do wonder, they must have bought the book at least, to post the review:) Lvars                                                                                                      rated it: 5.0 from 5.0
