Gates is optimistic that the world can prevent the worst impacts of the climate crisis.

Finally a practical book about global warming!
Contrary to most of the other books this takes a look into realistic solution of the problem, and how can we plan and approach it.
It's both scary as it shows the scale of the undertaking and relieving showing that with a dedicated and systematic approach we can actually tacle it.
There are some technical simplifications, and one might not like the author personally or his own personal interest in the green projects, but being aware of most of the mentioned topics from the engineering perspective I feel like the book was fair and true to fact, well scoped and well presented to a target reader. Well done.

Bill at his best, the narration a bit less so
Comprehensive, yet concise, Bill gates laying out his knowledge, connections and solutions at his best. If you thought you understood climate change and what is to be done about it, this book will show you you still had plenty to learn.
I really wish Bill had read the whole book himself though. He reads the intro and does a great job. The main narrator's strong American accent and style is jarring and suits neither bill's writing nor his measured speaking style. At times i genuinely expected the narrator to interject with a "Wow man, ain't that crazy?!" Yes, climate change is dramatic but that doesn't mean you have to read it in a dramatic way. Other than that, the narration is clear and understandable.

Interesting to know facts and figures
This book is a review of climate change, which is a very large topic. It shares facts, lists solutions, their maturity and point out some actions to perform in the near future.
I however admit I expected a bit more on the storyline, that is, with that many facts and figures it is not always obvious to get the storyline, it's consistency. Maybe the fact that I listened every morning in the underground does not help

good practical book on the climate
good book. None of the alarmist paranoia. I wish it was read by a bloke that had more the temperament of Gates. But you could ignore that and get used to it and only a problem with tone. Practical way to think about the problem and the solutions

Fantastically pragmatic and a-political
What an exceptional, pragmatic, a-political and accessible book about how to correct our trajectory away from a climate disaster. Great analysis, that gives you good rules of thumb without overwhelming you with confusing details. Linking that directly to actions and outcomes so readers can walk away empowered to make a difference and have some hope.

Not as good as expected
It might be related to my professional background as engineer, but there was not a lot new in that book. A lot of things are explained who people from a technical background would know, e.g. what is a Watt and what is then a Giga Watt....
I do understand that this book is written to make that maximum of people aware of the situation we are facing. For that it is surely very good. For me, seeking new impulses for my own profession, it was rather not the one.

Perfect and not polarizing!
It is the first time I found this really complex topic discussed from many angels without polarizing or taking extrem position. The Autor explains the hough size of the problem, while keeping a optimistic view.
I can recommend the book to everyone. You don't need a university degree in science to enjoy it.

A holistic strategy to avoid a climate disaster
Bill describes in simple layman's terms the wide array of things that need to be done to get to zero carbon emissions by 2050 - from innovations in technology, to policies that need to change or be created, to investments and new daily habits that are needed. And all that without hindering the developing world in continuing to grow.
The book breaks the problem down into logical themed pieces and gives actionable advice how anyone can do their part - whether you're a policymaker, engineer, researcher, real estate owner, average citizen, etc. Definitely recommended to anyone who wants a clear starting point and overview for how to tackle climate change.

Barely Informative
Bill does make good points, but the overall piece is very opinionated. It is very mainstream.

Call for action,
Everyone should read this book
This book gives a good insight into the growing problem of climate change. It’s based on scientific approaches that allow any interest reader to educate himself to what is needed on the global level.
I am not fully convinced of the statements about behavior change. But anyway this book Explains many of the global problems and prioritizes them by the impact.

1a wunderbar
sehr zu empfehlen für alle, die den Klimawandel weder leugnen, noch der meinung sind, man müsse das system überwinden, um diesen zu verhindern. Stattdessen wird hier ein nachvollziehbarer, umfänglicher und mit unserer westlichen Gesellschaft vereinbarer lösungsansatz präsentiert, der völlig ohne moralapostel oder verbotsorgien auskommt. im Vordergrund steht hingegen die praktikabilität und effizienz von Maßnahmen.
