气候经济与人类未来
比尔·盖茨花了十年时间调研气候变化的成因和影响。在物理学、化学、生物学、工程学、政治学和经济学等领域的专家的支持下,他专注于探索减少温室气体排放的新技术。
在本书中,比尔·盖茨从电力、制造业、农业、交通等碳排放主要领域分析了零排放面临的挑战,可使用的技术工具以及我们需要的技术突破,并提供了一套涵盖广泛但每一步都切实可行的行动计划。
关于人类未来
要想阻止全球变暖,要想避免气候变化的最坏影响,人类需要停止向大气中排放温室气体。
关于技术创新
无论是过去还是现在,零排放都具备坚实的逻辑基础,但实现零排放的目标要基于创新驱动。
关于投资机会
“零碳”产业是一个巨大的经济机遇,那些能在这一领域有所突破的国家将是未来十几年引领全球经济的国家。
诚如比尔·盖茨在书中一再强调的,实现零排放并非易事,但如果我们遵循他给出的计划,这个目标定会实现。无论你是政策决策者、企业家,还是忙于生计的普通民众,你都可以贡献力量,一起帮助这个世界避免气候灾难。

Thing Explainer
Have you ever tried to read up on some incredible part of the world, only to find yourself faced with incomprehensible terminology and jargon? It’s nice to know what the parts of a thing are called, but it’s even more interesting to know what they do. What if you had something that could clearly explain it all using simple words? Thing Explainer, by Randall Munroe, does just that. Using line drawings and only the thousand (or, rather, “ten hundred”) most common words, he provides simple explanations for some of the world’s most interesting things: our food-heating radio boxes (microwaves), our very tall roads (bridges), and our computer buildings (datacenters). He also explains the other worlds around our sun (the solar system), the big flat rocks we live on (tectonic plates), and even the stuff inside us (cells). Where do these things come from? How do they work? What do they look like if you open them up? What would life be like without them? And what would happen if we heated them up, cooled them down, pointed them in a different direction, or pressed this button? In Thing Explainer, Munroe gives us the answers to these questions and so many more. Funny, interesting, and always understandable, this book is for anyone—age 5 to 105—who has ever wondered how things work, and why. -
