Hi, I'm Rashida Jones.

I'm Bill Gates.

And today we are going to talk about climate change.

Sometimes I think about all of the big questions we are asking Bill and they all feel like

they don't really matter unless this one is answered.

So just give it to me straight.

Is it too late to stop climate change?

Are we doomed?

No, the same kind of innovation that got us into this where we invented electricity and

cars that it brought so many benefits, that same kind of innovation power accelerated will

let us do those things but in ways that don't emit greenhouse gases.

And so it's not going to be easy.

We'll have to put a lot of resources in.

To get to zero by 2050 is not easily achievable.

Without innovation, I would say this is not a solvable problem.

But you've seen the personal computer revolution.

You see what we've done with various diseases.

We are smarter today than ever.

And a lot of great people are working on these solutions.

People should feel like God, there really is hope here and that's why it's worth politically

getting countries to make this part of their agenda.

Right, right.
