How To Avoid A Climate Disaster

Examine the complex challenge of achieving zero greenhouse gas emissions globally. The author highlights the necessity of getting to zero rather than simply reducing emissions, using a bathtub analogy to explain why. He discusses the need for both deploying existing clean energy technologies like solar and wind, and inventing and implementing new breakthrough technologies across five key sectors: how we plug in, make things, grow things, get around, and keep cool and warm. Gates emphasizes the importance of government policies and investments in research and development to lower the "Green Premiums" – the extra cost of choosing zero-carbon alternatives – especially to make these solutions affordable for middle-income countries, while also acknowledging the need for adaptation to climate changes already occurring and the disproportionate impact on the world's poorest.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/How-Avoid-Climate-Disaster/dp/0241448301?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=92ebbdfd3d90f94e0bea5211f1b8c1a8&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by Podcai Studio:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
