    ENGELSK UDGAVE. Bill Gates’ formulering af den opgave, som klimaforandringerne stiller os over for, er lige så enkel, som den er ambitiøs: Vi skal nedbringe den årlige globale udledning af drivhusgasser fra de nuværende 51 mia. tons til... nul! I denne vigtige og velunderbyggede bog fremlægger han en omfattende, praktisk – og letforståelig – plan for, hvordan verden kan nå dette mål i tide til at undgå en klimakatastrofe.Bill Gates har brugt et årti på at undersøge klimaforandringernes årsager og virkninger. Med hjælp fra eksperter inden for fysik, kemi, biologi, ingeniørvidenskab, statskundskab og økonomi har han fokuseret på, hvad der skal gøres for at standse planetens kurs mod en miljømæssig katastrofe.I bogen giver han os en skarpsynet beskrivelse af de udfordringer, vi står over for. Som teknologiudvikler har Bill Gates erfaret, hvordan ny teknologi og innovation kan forandre verden. Med afsæt i denne erfaring beskriver han de områder, hvor teknologien allerede bidrager til at reducere CO2-udledningerne, hvor og hvordan den nuværende teknologi kan bringes til at fungere mere effektivt, hvor der er brug for teknologiske gennembrud, og hvem der arbejder på disse helt nødvendige innovationer. Endelig fremlægger han en konkret, praktisk plan for at nå målet om at få CO2-udledningerne ned på nul, idet han ikke alene foreslår politiske målsætninger, som regeringer bør arbejde ud fra, men også hvad vi som enkeltpersoner kan gøre for at holde vores regeringer, vores arbejdsgivere og os selv ansvarlige i denne livsvigtige kamp for klimaet.Bill Gates gør det klart, at det ikke bliver let at få vores udledning af drivhusgasser helt ned på nul, men hvis vi følger den plan, han fremlægger her, er det faktisk et mål, der ligger inden for vores rækkevidde.

    "From the Pulitzer-prize winning, New York Times bestselling author, an alarming account of how autocracies work together to undermine the democratic world, and how we should organize to defeat them We think we know what an autocratic state looks like: There is an all-powerful leader at the top. He controls the police. The police threaten the people with violence. There are evil collaborators, and maybe some brave dissidents. But in the 21st century, that bears little resemblance to reality. Nowadays, autocracies are underpinned not by one dictator, but by sophisticated networks composed of kleptocratic financial structures, surveillance technologies, and professional propagandists, all of which operate across multiple regimes, from China to Russia to Iran. Corrupt companies in one country do business with corrupt companies in another. The police in one country can arm and train the police in another, and propagandists share resources and themes, pounding home the same messages about the weakness of democracy and the evil of America. International condemnation and economic sanctions cannot move the autocrats. Even popular opposition movements, from Venezuela to Hong Kong to Moscow, don't stand a chance. The members of Autocracy, Inc, aren't linked by a unifying ideology, like communism, but rather a common desire for power, wealth, and impunity. In this urgent treatise, which evokes George Kennan's essay calling for "containment" of the Soviet Union, Anne Applebaum calls for the democracies to fundamentally reorient their policies to fight a new kind of threat"--
