Bill Gates: “I don’t think I’d give them any different grade than they’d give themselves. They wanted to get additional R&D money and they wanted to get some type of price signal on carbon, and they haven’t succeeded in doing it yet, so I think they’d give themselves an incomplete. It may stay that way. Should they be trying harder? They have a lot of things going on.”
J.G. “Are you scared about the kind of world- and the kind of climate- your kids will inherit?”
B.G. “Climate change is a terrible problem and it absolutely needs to be solved. It deserves to be a huge priority. But when you think of kids, you think of more immediate things like,will terrorists blow up a nuclear bomb? When you start thinking about kids, I hope they fasten their safety belts. There’s a lot to worry about.”
My preference is to generate positive energy and create the world we want. Focus on opening your heart; I do! Happy New Year
