A BOOK EVERYONE SHOULD READ!

I don’t say this lightly, EVERYONE should read Bill Gates’ new book: HOW TO AVOID A CLIMATE CRISIS: The solutions we have and the BREAKTHROUGHS WE NEED. I think in our heart of hearts all of us want to preserve the earth from any catastrophe. Even if you say you don’t believe in global warming and are reluctant to blame fossil fuel and methane gas for driving the climate temperature higher, I still think we all intrinsically care about our planet. In this book Gates sets out the science, all fact driven, and describes the effects this phenomenon has had to many factors which threaten our future lifestyles. And in a practical way he tells what needs to be done to reverse these changes. Although a geek, he explains, layman style what we have been doing, what we have not yet solved, and what innovations can bring solutions for our growing energy needs. He believes in our ability to master these problems-if we have the will to do it-and don’t take too long to take on some of these mind-boggling issues. The alternative is scary but Gates believes that the cost-benefit ratio has to be beneficial and that if we do it right we may actually have greater benefits than ever imagined and will build a stronger economy. What Gates lays out here is a way to succeed in solving the biggest challenge on earth. I hope you all care enough to read this and help make the right choices for our future. Knowledge is power.
