"There are two numbers you need to know about climate change. The first is 51 billion. The other is zero. Fifty one billion is how many tons of greenhouse gases the world typically adds to the atmosphere every year. Although the figure may go up or down a bit from year to year, its generally increasing. This is where we are today. ZERO IS WHAT WE NEED TO AIM FOR."

How to Avoid a Climate Disaster by Bill Gates
