How Bill Gates Proposes To Solve Climate Change | Forbes

The world’s fourth-richest person has a plan to save the planet from catastrophic climate change — and it's cheaper than you think.

Bill Gates wants you to know two numbers: 51 billion and zero. The former is the number of tons of greenhouse gases typically added to the atmosphere each year as a result of human activities. The latter is the number of tons we need to get to by 2050 in order to avert a climate crisis.

Gates has a plan for how to go from 51 billion to zero, and he’s happy to say it doesn’t come with a price tag in the trillions of dollars. As you might expect from a guy who made his fortune in technology, the billionaire’s suggested solution is tied in large part to innovation.

He spells out his plan in a new book, How To Avoid A Climate Disaster: The Solutions We Have And The Breakthroughs We Need, to be released on February 16. Ahead of the book launch, Gates talked to Forbes about why he wrote the book. He also shared details the book doesn’t get into, including how much he’s invested in zero-carbon companies, which ones he’s most excited about, including a new kind of nuclear power plant, and what he’s likely to invest in next.

Bill Gates's idea to block the sun reminds me of the Soviet joke: the ruling committee decided to send a rocket to the sun at night when the sun is turned off.

Why do I feel like drastic efforts to save the planet will just end up dooming it?

#1: bull gates is one of the most evil beings on earth. #2: reminder in 1995 you climate geniuses said all the coastal beaches in the US would be under water by 2020, well it’s 2021 and I don’t see any Coastal beaches looking any different than they did in 1995. Well done, EXPERTS hey?
