Renowned businessman and philanthropist Bill Gates has launched an apocalyptic prediction related to the future of the planet and climate change. While Gates is not a foolproof fortune teller, his previous forecasts have been shown to have solid foundations backed by scientific knowledge and data.
On this occasion, Gates focuses on the climate crisis, a subject that obsesses him and to which he has dedicated a large part of his philanthropic efforts, as detailed The vanguard in your report.
According to reports from the NOAA observatory in Hawaii, United States, Bill Gates has warned that we have a deadline until the year 2050 to eliminate 51,000 million tons of greenhouse gases. Otherwise, the process will be irreversible and much of the world will become uninhabitable: “It can be irreversible if we arrive too late”
Carbon dioxide (CO2) has reached alarming levels in the atmosphere, exceeding pre-Industrial Revolution levels by 50%. This exponential increase in emissions is causing unexpected transformations on our planet and threatening both agriculture and livestock.
Concern for agriculture and livestock
The year 2050 has become a point of no return set by Gates. The consequences of not acting in time would include a significant increase in temperatures in both hemispheres, which would hinder the subsistence of agriculture and livestock in vast areas of the world.
Besides, an increase in massive population displacements is expectedwhich could generate tensions and conflicts at a global level.
Gates’ warning on climate change is a call to humanity to take urgent and effective measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The need for transitions towards renewable energy sources and concrete actions in climate change mitigation becomes even more pressing.
