Bill Gates is an American business magnate and is chairman of Microsoft. He is consistently ranked among the world's wealthiest people and was the wealthiest overall from 1995 to 2009, excluding 2008, when he was ranked third. During his career at Microsoft, Gates held the positions of CEO and chief software architect, and remains the largest individual shareholder.
In the later stages of his career, Gates has pursued a number of philanthropic endeavors, donating large amounts of money to various charitable organizations and scientific research programs through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, established in 2000.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is the largest transparently operated private foundation in the world, founded by Bill and Melinda Gates. The foundation is "driven by the interests and passions of the Gates family". The primary aims of the foundation are, globally, to enhance healthcare and reduce extreme poverty, and in America, to expand educational opportunities and access to information technology.
In the video Bill Gates is talking about his foundation and the objective of reduce the global warming. The aim isn’t reduce a little the emission of CO2 , “The objective is zero”.
To get his objective Bill Gates propose an equation:
CO2 = P x S x E x C
P = people
S = services for person
E = energy per service
C = CO2 per unit energy
1) He proposes reduce the population between 10-15 % .
2) It’s fine that the number of services increase but these services have to arrive to everybody.
3) Nowadays the energy use is falling due to technological improvements.
4) But these three points are not enough to get “The objective zero”.
CO2 per unit energy is the key factor, we have to create a new system, an energetic miracle.
In my opinion the Bill Gates’ theory is impossible to realize.
In first time the population can’t be reduced from one day to another.
Then, we have to work a lot because everybody can enjoy of the same services.
Currently technology to reduce the pollution is improving, but is very far to pollution zero.
And finally to create a new system is very difficult, there are many scientists that they are working in find one but for the moment we can only wait.
Bill Gates is a genius with computers, but I agree that he can’t solve the pollution problem. Regarding the formula, the world’s population is growing every day, so how can we reduce the population by 10 to 15%? The only way that could happen is if there was a natural or unnatural catastrophe.
ResponderEliminarThe next part of his formula talks about social services, he wants everyone to get the same services, but that’s impossible. Considering the world economy right now, what country has the money and the interest to invest in this type of program? Offering social services is a great idea and many countries do offer some type of social services, but it’s very difficult to offer equal services to everyone.
Bill Gates also talks about inventing new technology, this is also a great idea, but at this moment there is no technology to create energy without creating harmful waste.
Bill Gates is one of the richest men in the world, but all the money in the world couldn’t find a solution to solve the pollution problem at this moment.
