How to Avoid a Climate Disaster The Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs We Need

The other book, since I won't count the prize, I think many of your listeners might enjoy reading Bill Gates' How to Avoid a Climate Disaster. ... it's a lot about technology, but it's also practical in the way, it's sort of empowering ... describing ways everybody can contribute.

Speaking to MIT's technology review about his latest book titled How to Avoid a Climate Disaster, Gates said, eventually you can sort of change the behavior of people or use regulation to totally shift demand.

I've interviewed Bill Gates about this. I've discussed what his book...

And one of the things that I read was Bill Gates, How to Avoid a Climate Disaster.

And what struck me was this scientific consensus that if we don't address the amount of greenhouse gases we're emitting and bring them down to zero by 2050, that we go over the tipping point.

Bill Gates recently said that he believes rich nations would help the global fight against climate change by consuming only plantbased meat products instead of beef. In a recent interview with Technology Review, Gates discussed his new book, *How to Avoid a Climate Disaster* and emphasized the benefits rich nations could produce by moving to 100% synthetic beef.

He said, "I do think all rich countries should move to 100% synthetic beef. You can get used to the taste difference and the claim is they're going to make it taste even better over time."

In the book, How to Avoid a Climate Disaster, Bill Gates proposes that we will only reduce carbon emissions if we cut the cost of what he calls green premium on every human activity.

I was inspired by reading Bill Gates' book and, um, from what I understood, the imperative is that we reduce our greenhouse gases dramatically by 2050 or so, or else we go over this, this, this tipping point.

The last interview we did was about climate change which is a book that he wrote and it's actually coming true today. A lot of the stuff he was talking about.
