Bill Gates - Hogyan kerüljük el a klímakatasztrófát?
Product description
I WROTE THIS BOOK BECAUSE I SEE NOT ONLY THE PROBLEM, BUT ALSO THE POSSIBILITY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
"I expect to spend most of my time in 2021 talking to world leaders about climate change and COVID-19. I will tell them that the many lessons of the pandemic — as well as the values and principles that guide how we deal with it us - they can also be applied to climate change."
ZERO IS A STONE-HARD CONDITION. AS LONG AS WE PUT GREENHOUSE GASES INTO THE ATMOSPHERE, THE TEMPERATURE WILL RISE.
"Let me use an understandable analogy: the air conditioner is like a bathtub that slowly fills with water. Even if we fill it in a very slow stream, sooner or later the tub will fill up and the water will spill out onto the floor. We must avoid this disaster. If only we set the goal of reducing emissions - but not stopping - that will not be enough. Zero can only be the goal."
Bill Gates has spent a decade exploring the causes of climate change and outlining its possible consequences, involving researchers and experts in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science, and economics. The matter has now become irrevocable. Thus, Gates not only draws attention to the importance of zero emissions, but also details what we need to do to achieve this important goal.
The book confronts the reader with the social, environmental and scientific challenges facing us in an objective and understandable way. It turns out what revolutionary innovations are necessary to renew the sectors that are most responsible for the current situation. Gates considers action at the individual level and cross-governmental proposals concerning carbon neutrality to be both important aspects, and in this spirit he analyzes the possible effects of the currently raging pandemic and the 2020 US presidential election.
Achieving carbon neutrality will not be easy, radical changes are necessary. The future of our planet is at stake, but if we follow the plan described in the book, the goal can be achieved.
