February 15, 2021 Bill Gates Says ‘Solving Covid-19 Is Very Easy Compared With Climate Change’

Bill Gates Says ‘Solving Covid-19 Is Very Easy Compared With Climate Change’

Billionaire, Bill Gates has opined that climate change is humanity's greatest challenge and is a far greater problem than the Covid-19 pandemic.

According to Gates who has become more vocal since the pandemic started, achieving net zero would be 'humanity's greatest ever achievement'

Solving climate change would be "the most amazing thing humanity has ever done",  the billionaire founder of Microsoft said to BBC.

'Ending the pandemic is very, very easy", he claims.

"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."

"Net zero is where we need to get to. This means cutting emissions to a level where any remaining greenhouse gas releases are balanced out by absorbing an equivalent amount from the atmosphere. One way to do this is by planting trees, which soak up CO2 through their leaves."

Gates says his focus is on how technology can help make climate change easily handled.

"Renewable sources like wind and solar can help us decarbonise electricity but that's less than 30% of total emissions."

"We are also going to have to decarbonise the other 70% of the world economy - steel, cement, transport systems, fertiliser production and much, much more.

"We simply don't have ways of doing that at the moment for many of these sectors.

Gates says for climate change to be tackled there must be an innovation effort on a scale the world has never seen before.

'At the moment, the economic system doesn't price in the real cost of using fossil fuels.
Most users don't pay anything for the damage to the environment done by pollution from the petrol in their car or the coal or gas that created the electricity in their home."

"Right now, you don't see the pain you're causing as you emit carbon dioxide,"

"We need to have price signals to tell the private sector that we want green products," he says.

That is going to require a huge investment by governments in research and development, Gates argued.

Gate maintains it will be impossible to avoid a disaster, particularly for those who live near the equator, without governments around the world getting behind the effort.

He says the US Republican Party needs to recognise the importance of tackling climate change.

This needs to be a "constant 30-year push", he maintains. "Business just can't change all that physical infrastructure unless the market signals are constant and very clear."

Bill Gates Co-founded Microsoft in 1975 and is the World's fourth richest person with a net worth of $124bn, according to Forbes

"India is going to build housing for their people, provide lighting at night, air conditioning to make conditions liveable," 

"If you buy an electric car, a hamburger made of a meat substitute, an electric heat pump for your home you are helping increase the production of these products and therefore helping drive prices down."

Gates stated his private jets are powered by biofuels - aviation fuels made from plant products.

"I pay three times as much now for my aviation fuel, you know, over $7m [£5m] a year in all my offset spending."

"I don't think getting rid of flying would make sense," he replies. "That type of brute force technique won't get us there."

He says the answer has to be "a type of aviation fuel that doesn't cost much extra and is zero emission and that's got to be biofuels or electric fuels or perhaps using green hydrogen to power the plane".

On Monday morning, Gates wrote on Twitter;

"To avoid a climate disaster, we need to eliminate emissions from the ways we create electricity, grow food, make things, move around, and heat and cool our buildings. It won’t be easy, but I believe we can do it. This book is about what it will take."

 

 
February 15, 2021 5 Signs They’re Not Your Soulmate

5 Signs They’re Not Your Soulmate

When it comes to love and relationships, the method to recognizing love appears simple yet technical and it cannot be overemphasized. There are simple ways to know if the person you are dating is your soulmate.

Ah, Yes! Soulmates. The question is do they really exist? Well, that is up to you to decide. But if you believe in the existence of soulmates then this article is for you.

Here are five things you need to know to make a decision:

 

1. He Or She Isn't Your "In Case Of Emergency" Person

Not to go too Grey's Anatomy on you but your soulmate should be your "person." They can see you at your best and worst, you don't care. You want them around in the good and bad, and can't imagine anyone else you'd call if something was wrong.

2. You're Just Not At All Comfortable Around Each Other

Couples who are truly one, they barely have to speak to each other. No, we don't mean the silent treatment, we mean just the word-free bliss of being with someone. Their presence alone makes you happy, and when that's the case, there's never an awkward silence. There's never nervous fidgeting. In fact, as you're sitting quietly on the couch with either other, you're probably both in sweats, and find each other the most attractive.

3. There Are People You'd Rather Be Around More (Including Yourself)

Think of this as your deserted island question. If you had to be stuck with one person, would it be this one? If you can think of a few friends, family members, or dog you'd rather have around — or would just rather be alone — well, that doesn't speak too highly on your "forever" feelings for this person.

4. You're Not A Team

Whether you believe in soulmates or not, the right person helps you both realize and become the best version of yourself. And the two of you together are an indestructible force. If you feel you're flying solo, well, then just keep flying far, far away.

5. You Can NOT Cut The Sexual Chemistry With Any Knife, Whatsoever

Sure, passion fades; a solid foundation for your love fueled by friendship, respect, and loyalty is what you really want to be left with. Still, while may want to be in love, not lust) that doesn't mean there should be zero spark. Ever.
