Why fighting climate change requires a lot more than technology and optimism
Given that backdrop, I was struck by Bill Gates’ recent announcement of a major— and decidedly optimistic—shift in his thinking about climate change. “We’ve made great progress” on addressing global warming, he writes, and he’s confident the changing climate “will not lead to humanity’s demise.” But it’s time to shift our attention from cutting near-term emissions to investing in ways to “improve life in a warming world.” Doing so, according to Gates, will require us to “focus on innovation.”
