How to Avoid a Climate Disaster: The Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs We Need by Bill Gates
4.0
This book was very good at doing what Bill Gates wanted, which was to give a descriptive introduction to the importance of working towards a GHG neutral world and the major culprits contributing to climate change. The book was easy to understand and Gates was very good at contextualizing and setting numbers on things.
I wish it would have gone much more in depth, especially around the science of direct air capture, cultivated meat and other things, but I understand that was not the goal. While Bill Gates is not a perfect person, nor climate advocate, he is undoubtedly doing a lot to benefit the world. Many people tend to say that the rich aren't going to save us, which is true, but people like Bill Gates show that not all rich people are inherently trying to destroy the world.
