Bill Gates explains why he cares so deeply about climate change and what makes him optimistic that the world can avoid the most dire effects of the climate crisis. Gates says, "We can work on a local, national, and global level to build the technologies, businesses, and industries to avoid the worst impacts of climate change." His interest in climate change is a natural outgrowth of the efforts by his foundation to reduce poverty and disease. Climate change, according to Gates, will have the biggest impact on the people who have done the least to cause it. As a technologist, he has seen firsthand how innovation can change the world. By investing in research, inventing new technologies, and by deploying them quickly at large scale, Gates believes climate change can be addressed in meaningful ways. According to Gates, "to prevent the worst effects of climate change, we have to get to net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases. This problem is urgent, and the debate is complex, but I believe we can come together to invent new carbon-zero technologies, deploy the ones we have, and ultimately avoid a climate catastrophe""--]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1278222</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1278222</guid><category><![CDATA[LPRINT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gates, Bill]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1278222026</comments><format>LPRINT</format><subtitle>The Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs We Need</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593215777/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=C</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[How to Avoid A Climate Disaster]]></title><description><![CDATA["Bill Gates has spent a decade investigating the causes and effects of climate change.

Feynman, winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, thrived on outrageous adventures. In this lively work that "can shatter the stereotype of the stuffy scientist" (Detroit Free Press), Feynman recounts his experiences trading ideas on atomic physics with Einstein and cracking the uncrackable safes guarding the most deeply held nuclear secrets--and much more of an eyebrow-raising nature. In his stories, Feynman's life shines through in all its eccentric glory--a combustible mixture of high intelligence, unlimited curiosity, and raging chutzpah. Included for this edition is a new introduction by Bill Gates"--Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C648854</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C648854</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Feynman, Richard P.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/648854026</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Adventures of A Curious Character</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780393355628/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=C</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hit Refresh]]></title><description><![CDATA["Microsoft's CEO tells the inside story of the company's continuing transformation, while tracing his own personal journey from a childhood in India to leading some of the most significant changes of the digital era and offering his vision for the coming wave of intelligent technologies."--]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1056255</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1056255</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nadella, Satya]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1056255026</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Quest to Rediscover Microsoft&apos;s Soul and Imagine A Better Future for Everyone</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780062652508/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=C</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hit Refresh]]></title><description><![CDATA["Microsoft's CEO tells the inside story of the company's continuing transformation, while tracing his own personal journey from a childhood in India to leading some of the most significant changes of the digital era and offering his vision for the coming wave of intelligent technologies."--Jacket.]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1069431</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1069431</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nadella, Satya]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1069431026</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>The Quest to Rediscover Microsoft&apos;s Soul and Imagine A Better Future for Everyone</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780062652515/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=334-2017-eBook-AH</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tools and Weapons]]></title><description><![CDATA["In Tools and Weapons, Brad Smith and Carol Ann Browne take us into the cockpit of one of the world's largest and most powerful tech companies as it finds itself in the middle of some of the thorniest emerging issues of our time.

This might seem uncontroversial, but it flies in the face of a tech sector long obsessed with rapid growth and sometimes on disruption as an end in itself. While sweeping digital transformation holds great promise, we have reached an inflection point. The world has turned information technology into both a powerful tool and a formidable weapon, and new approaches are needed to manage an era defined by even more powerful inventions like artificial intelligence. Companies that create technology must accept greater responsibility for the future, and governments will need to regulate technology by moving faster and catching up with the pace of innovation. In Tools and Weapons, Brad Smith and Carol Ann Browne bring us a captivating narrative from the cockpit of one of the world's largest and most powerful tech companies as it finds itself in the middle of some of the thorniest emerging issues of our time. These are challenges that come with no preexisting playbook, including privacy, cybercrime and cyberwar, social media, the moral conundrums of artificial intelligence, big tech's relationship to inequality, and the challenges for democracy, far and near. While in no way a self-glorifying "Microsoft memoir," the book pulls back the curtain remarkably wide onto some of the company's most crucial recent decision points as it strives to protect the hopes technology offers against the very real threats it also presents.
