Bill Gates is aiming to work more closely with Amazon.com Inc chief executive officer Jeff Bezos to combat a climate crisis that the Microsoft Corp co-founder said could dwarf the current pandemic in fatalities and global impact. His book, How To Avoid A Climate Disaster, went on sale earlier this month. “It’s a real test of humanity to invest in advance for problems that come later,” Gates said. In his book, Gates uses the concept of a “Green Premium”, the difference in price between a traditional, carbon emitting technology like a gas-powered car and its green alternative, an electric car. “Some people are trying to change the cow’s diet or capture the methane, so you know I don’t want to count the cow out,” Gates said.
