Christopher (Chris) WallaceFox News, Chris Wallace praises Biden Klobuchar’s discipline: “The impeachment process” was about not hiding the story “Graham: Trump” upset some people “but” ready to move on “ He asked Gates in “Fox News Sunday” how he responded to critics on his left who say the solutions he supports are insufficient compared to zero emissions over the next decade.
“It is completely unrealistic to believe that we could eliminate emissions by 2030,” Gates said, adding that “not seeing this issue as difficult will be part of the difficulty of engaging in it.”
Gates went on to warn that worsening climate problems would affect other geopolitical factors.
“The migration we saw from Syria to their civil war was somewhat dependent on the weather,” he said. “We will have 10 times more migration because the equatorial areas will become uninhabitable, you will not be able to farm or go out. during summer. “
“It’s all a matter of degree,” he added. “If we wait another 10 years, it’s not as bad as when we wait 20 or you wait 30, because the temperature keeps rising.”
Wallace also asked Gates about his view on the launch of coronavirus vaccines, to which Gates replied, “This gives us light at the end of the tunnel,” but “we have to do the logistics right.”
“I hope that we will open more schools, until we get to the autumn, we should avoid waiting there, because the level of vaccination will be very high,” he added.
Gates’ comments come as the United States approaches the stage of 500,000 coronavirus deaths, the highest of any country by far. The nation has also seen a decline in virus cases and more than 10 percent of the country receiving at least the first dose of vaccine.
