How To Avoid A Climate Disaster by Bill Gates

Product Details

About the Book

Unless we stop adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, the temperature will keep going up. Bill Gates offers a helpful analogy: the climate is like a bathtub slowly filling with water — even if we slow the flow to a trickle, the tub will eventually overflow. Setting a goal to only reduce emissions, but not eliminate them, won't prevent that disaster. In this urgent, authoritative book, Gates sets out the only sensible goal: getting all the way to zero.

Having spent a decade investigating the causes and effects of climate change, Gates draws on the insight of experts across physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science, and finance to focus on what must be done to stop the planet's slide toward environmental catastrophe. He breaks the problem down into the core human activities driving emissions — making things, plugging in, growing things, getting around, and staying warm and cool — and, drawing on his understanding of innovation and bringing new technology to market, explains where current solutions can already help, where breakthroughs are still needed, and what governments, businesses, and individuals must do to close the gap. The book also examines how the world must adapt to a warmer climate already underway, and closes with a concrete plan for turning policy into action.

Critical Acclaim

How to Avoid a Climate Disaster became a #1 New York Times bestseller. USA Today described it as a practical and accessible plan for getting the world to zero greenhouse gas emissions and averting climate catastrophe, while New Scientist called it clear, concise on a colossal subject, and intelligently holistic in its approach, adding that Gates has written a fine primer on how to get out of this mess. Esquire praised the book for offering a galvanizing, radical shred of hope grounded in realism rather than false comfort.
