    Why listen to Bill Gates on How to Avoid a Climate Disaster!

    Why listen to Bill Gates on How to Avoid a Climate Disaster!

    Bill Gates is not a climate scientist. He’s not a politician. He has a “lot” of money and investments that could be seen as conflicts of interest. Why on earth should we listen to him? 

    We have been talking about climate change for as long as any of us can remember. Yet how much progress has been made to address the issue?  The straight answer is that “we” have expended a vast amount of hot air. In this post I review Bill's book in a little detail and recommend his "solutions" based approach as a refreshing and important contribution.
