Bill Gates-How to avoid a climate disaster

 

This will be hard

           The second chapter of this book starts with those words.Do not let it fool you,we cannot be negative about this,we need to be optimistic.

            Although there are many obstacles, difficulties and we realise that this journey will be hard,but there is still chance.We need to talk about solutions.In this few pages we are going to read about fossil fuels.

           Firstly the author gave us some example from one book.It was about 2 young fish,swimming through water.Suddenly they met some older fish ,that asked them "How's the water?".The point of this story was that they looked at each other and asked "What is water?".

        We often do not talk about the most obvious problems.We act like we do not see them.And one of this problems are fossil fuels.We can see many breathtaking and shocking examples where we can meet with

fossil fuels.

      It started with our tooth brushes-they are plastic,made of petroleum=fossil fuel.Breakfast-meat-cows-they produce methane.Our houses are made of cement,our clothes contain cotton.All this material is harvested/made and have to be transported to its destination and there are used more and more fossil fuels.

      This is why the autor says "Fossil fuels are like water." We can see that they are really everywhere.And why is that? They are inexpensive.
