There was a sad irony when I recently became aware of the planned biogas facility for Seaford to take on the burden of the waste of chicken farming all around the region. You see, I had just finished reading Bill Gates’ book, “How to Avoid a Climate.
Bill Gates Proposes To Technofix Climate Change but Underplays the Role of Nature 11/03/2021
Bill Gates has written a remarkable book,
How to Avoid a Climate Disaster: The Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs We Need (2021): it cuts through the smog and tells us how technology can help overcome the climate crisis.
It is a succinct summary of climate science (chapters 4 to 8) that segues into offering a suite of interventions and solutions (chapters 9 to 12) that are sure to be a primer for investors and institutions. The generous advance praise and blurbs on the cover, and a phalanx of experts and reviewers in the acknowledgement, assure you that this is all you will ever need to know about climate change and how we can take care of it hereon.
When one of the world’s wealthiest individuals writes a book on avoiding climate disaster – and suggests changes we all need to make to our lifestyles – it is easy to be cynical.
But the high-profile intervention of Microsoft founder Bill Gates in the climate change debate should be welcomed. This is not just a highly intelligent wealth creator, but somebody who, arguably, has unique access to information and insight. Furthermore, his Gates Foundation has achieved impressive results in tackling global health and education issues. He clearly has an appetite for solving the seemingly unsolvable.
His book,
How to Avoid a Climate Change Disaster: The Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs We Need , should be a must read, particularly for those investing in the great energy transition.
