Resources

Top Takeaways

  • Gates assumes that climate change is real and that we can do something about it.

  • We must get to net 0 carbon emissions by 2050. Gates' position is that avoiding a climate disaster will come through innovation, not from reducing our demand for energy. We must develop greener technologies to accommodate our energy demand.

  • Neither Paul nor Scott will give up eating meat.
