Since Bill Gates is back in the news dismissing the urgency of climate action, here's my evergreen commentary in @newsweek.com on why his approach and framing is so misguided: www.newsweek.com/right-path-f...
The Right Path Forward on Climate Change
Whether we have a climate crisis is no longer a matter of worthy debate. Precisely how we solve it is.

We spent the past year analyzing and rebuting arguments that have been launched against misinformation research. In my view, those arguments are important to make, but perhaps even more important to rebut because, as we show, they don’t always withstand critical scrutiny.

More than 90% of fossil fuel emissions occurred since my parents were born.
Over 80% since I was born.
Over 30% since my children were born.
And well over 50% since the world agreed at the Rio Earth Summit to prevent dangerous climate change. And I thought: „At last!“

TIL that you do occasionally get TWELVE-sided snowflakes, when two six-sided ones collide in the right way and stick together. They seem to stick at a suspiciously perfect angle!
