Village Global Luminary LP Bill Gates on the two numbers that define climate action:
"There's two numbers, 50 billion and zero. Zero is what we want emissions to be and zero is what we want the extra cost of green cement, green beef, green rice, green car."
"Even if the world should pay a lot for green things, they won't because it's a global problem."
"The negative impacts have been somewhat overstated for the current generation actually, but because it accumulates and gets worse over time. The damage is mostly in poor countries."
