Bill Gates: Solving Covid easy compared with climate
Solving climate change would be "the most amazing thing humanity has ever
done", says the billionaire founder of Microsoft.
By comparison, ending the pandemic is "very, very easy", he claims.
Mr Gates's new book, How to Avoid a Climate Disaster, is a guide to tackling
global warming.
Don't underestimate the scale of the challenge, he told me when we spoke last
week.
"We've never made a transition like we're talking about doing in the next 30
years. There is no precedent for this."
Fifty-one billion is how many tonnes of greenhouse gases the world typically
adds to the atmosphere each year.
Zero is where we need to get to.
====================================================
比爾蓋茲出新書了。
相較於氣候變遷，傳染病的問題好解決得多。
有一句話我不太會翻:
"We've never made a transition like we're talking about doing in the next 30
years. ...."
"我們從未做出如同現在所談論的關於未來三十年將從事的變革"<==是這樣翻嗎？
這才是真正的美國菁英所關切的議題。
反觀台灣只能幫忙消化美國滯銷的萊克多巴胺、還有過時的武器。
Taiwan can help. Really? How?
