Cómo evitar un desastre climático

Bill Gates has spent a decade researching climate change. Guided by experts in physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science, and finance, he has focused on determining what steps we must take to stop the planet from racing toward irreversible environmental disaster. In this book, the author not only gathers the basic information to make us aware of the need to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions, but also explains what we must do to achieve this important goal. Gates offers us a lucid description of the challenges we face. Taking advantage of his knowledge in innovation and what it means to introduce new concepts to the market, he details the fields in which technology is already helping to reduce emissions, how and when current technology will be made more effective, where we need such advances and who is working on these much needed improvements. Finally, he devises a practical and specific plan to reach zero emissions, both with government policies and in a personal capacity, thus involving governments, companies and ourselves in this crucial mission.
