Pragmatic and useful, but kind of as fun as reading a manual ( ) Gates writes that the world emits 51 billion tons of greenhouse gas every year. In his book he lists what we can do to bring that down to zero and even take CO2 from past pollution out of the air. Like a true technophile, Gates assumes that if we don't get there with behavioural change, technology can save us. Investments must be made in research and development, and in order to determine where the available budgets are most effective, he introduces the concept of a 'green premium' which indicates how much more expensive the climate friendly solution is compared to the existing way that uses fossil fuels. This difference is not the same everywhere as it depends on which technology is replaced, and which solution is chosen. There are even cases where the switch to a climate-friendly alternative saves money, which Gates explains by outdated regulations aimed at goals other than climate. MK This is pretty surface-level information on climate change and what we can do to mitigate the damage. There are some good facts here, I certainly learned a few things, but this is largely a wishlist of everything we need to reach net zero emissions, none of which we have at the moment. I think this is a good jumping off point if you're not sure what all is involved in climate change, but there are certainly better books by the experts out there. This is a well-organized and thoughtful analysis of the current issues regarding carbon emissions and climate change. Currently 51 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalents are released into the atmosphere annually. It is an understatement to say that getting this figure to zero will be a significant challenge. The subject matter is ordered by major category of emissions, listing the primary causes and how they can be addressed. It contains numerous facts and figures based on the many contacts Gates has made through his charitable foundation. He emphasizes that we need to start now to have a chance for zero emissions by the year 2050. It is a complex topic with no single solution, and this book provides guidance in understanding the many factors. Innovation, global cooperation, and governmental policies will be important. Gates is optimistic that this issue can be successfully tackled. I think it is a good idea to be informed.

HTML:In this urgent, authoritative book, Bill Gates sets out a wide-ranging, practicalâ??and accessibleâ??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 to 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 emissionsâ??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. *This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF of charts, graphs, and pictures from the b Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
