Where the book falls short though is that it glosses over several critical, near-term actions that are imperative if we are to hit the Paris Agreement target of limiting warming to “well-below” two degrees Celsius, and ideally 1.5 degrees. Third, it makes a compelling case to invest now in the research and development of new technologies and solutions that can ultimately help us get to net zero. Second, it distills key metrics related to both energy use and climate change in a way that is easy to understand and digest. First, it clearly states the need to get to net zero by 2050 and connects that target to how businesses operate and how we live as individuals. This book does three things exceptionally well. For this reason alone, Gates’ book is an obvious choice for Metrus’ fourth annual summer reading installment. Although not exactly a breezy summer beach read, Bill Gates’ new book, How to Avoid a Climate Disaster is certainly timely given that the climate crisis shows too few signs of slowing down.
