How to Avoid a Climate Disaster

the Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs We Need
Apr 13, 2021JamesMallory rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
An excellent book, partly because he takes an optimistic line about what solutions are possible rather than just reiterating scare tactics that we've all heard before. Bill Gates's analysis of the problem is good, and of course he's going to suggest technological solutions since that's his background and what he's good at, and frankly, they have the most chance of success. And it's a compassionate approach, since he admits that we can't expect the Third World not to want the same things that we have; our challenge is to allow progress while also taking steps to reduce climate change. And he does a good job of outlining what that would look like and what's to be done. Ignore the negative reviews; this is a good book worth reading.
