How To Avoid A Climate Disaster -The Solutions We Have And The Breakthroughs We Need – Bill Gates

The Microsoft founder has dedicated ten years to understanding the causes and impacts of climate change. Assisted by the authors who are the specialists in physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science and finance, he has concentrated on how the described process can be stopped and what has to be done to prevent the planet from the further deterioration of the environment which will lead to inevitable disaster. In this book, he not only narrates the reasons for seeking to reduce the net output of greenhouse gases to zero but also elucidates the actions that should be taken to accomplish this most urgent task.

He tells us like it is, about the problems we have to solve. Expounding on his definition of innovation and how innovative ideas are brought to the market place he outlines the sectors that technology has already contributed in the reduction of emissions, the sectors that current technologies can be made to work better, the sectors that require breakthrough technologies and the people who are developing these breakthrough technologies. Last but not least, he describes, in detail, how the goal of zero emissions can be achieved, what actions governments should take, and what actions each of us can take to ensure that our government, our employers, and even ourselves act to implement this goal.

That is why, as Bill Gates describes, eliminating emissions will not be easy and will not happen overnight but following the plan described by Gates it is possible.
