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 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 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.
We’d be the lucky ones because Bill Gates and his friends would gone.
They're working on it... It's called the voluntary human extinction movement.

Fair point.
Left to right color shading is blue to red as in getting hotter.
It’s -5 degrees here this morning. Better read that book upside down.
If I had a copy of that book, I would toss it in my wood stove to produce a little extra heat this morning.
Bill Gates is dangerous.
Gates does not know that our sun controls our climates?
There’s a huge climate disaster right now over much of this country, TX included. Gates etal give us windmills to heat our homes in below zero temps.
In TX this very day, windmills are frozen and solar panels are covered in snow rendering them useless. Gates is so rich no one around him will tell him he’s wrong. Still waiting to hear what the “correct” temperature is, and why a few degrees of increase would be a bad thing.
A brutal Stalinist state?
Gates defines “wealthy fool”.
How a balance! Here, from 1980.

Changing the weather intentionally or otherwise weather modification..(Earth cooling vs Greenhouse effect)
“Do you suppose we can learn enough, soon enough, to pull off a balancing act with the CO2 blanket saving us from another ice age?”
If every human on Earth was gone tomorrow, the climate would not be affected one bit. The Earth would continue in its slightly irregular orbit of the Sun with that small wobble. The climate would continue to warm and cool; glaciers would advance and retreat; ocean levels would rise and fall.
The main difference is that there wouldn’t be liberals bitching about it.
For those who interpret that as four percent at first glance- wrong. It's four hundredths of one percent.
What If Earth got Kicked Out of the Solar System? Rogue Earth

Common sense alone would tell ANYONE that humans can NOT affect our climate, for better or worse.
PUNY humans are INSIGNIFICANT on this YUGE planet.
Most of the planet is water. Few people live on the water. There are concentrations of humans in cities, but other than that, the rest of land mass is EMPTY (of humans)!
The sun, wind, tides, and ocean currents make our weather/climate.
PUNY humans can NOT control ANY of these things. It is COMMON SENSE to see these things. You don’t need “scientists” or BILLIONAIRES to tell you otherwise. You can understand it yourselves.
You are talking about natural carbon dioxide. Not man made carbon dioxide which is really, really bad for the earth. Pretty soon it will be white man made carbon dioxide which is Horrific and is killing the inner cities, minorities , women and children.
coming soon to a theater near you is white Christian man made carbon dioxide which is fatal to all who come in contact. They may have built the world and our current civilization including worldwide prosperity and elimination of disease but well you know. . . .
