Score: 70 / 100

From all the technical, economical and political challenges Bill Gates mentions, the easiest one (seems to me) is to stop eating meat. Then turn civil transportation electric.

He argues that the veganism is against our culture, but other challenges are against physics and our technological level. That’s much bigger issue.

The main message is: we can make it, but it will be hard.

We can go to zero but only with generating substantial amounts of CO₂.
