BILL GATES - GEBRAUCHT HOW TO AVOID A CLIMATE D...

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.
