A summit on innovation was designed to spur optimism amid the hottest summer on record, deadly extreme weather and rising carbon pollution levels.
NEW YORK — With deadly extreme weather hitting all over the globe, rising temperatures peaking during the hottest summer on record and carbon pollution levels that keep climbing, Britain’s Prince William and wealthy entrepreneurs Bill Gates and Michael Bloomberg promised a warming world a degree of hope.
While a healthy dose of realistic pessimism about Earth’s climate is important, the heir to the British throne said he wants people to believe “there is hope; there are people out there doing incredible things that will have massive impacts on our futures.” The world will not be able to meet its agreed-upon goal to limit future warming to 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit above pre-industrial temperatures, but it won’t hit the 5.4-degree mark either, said Gates, who is not a climate scientist.
She said the goal is to affirm “the importance of credible net-zero commitments and to encourage financial institutions that make them to take consistent approaches to implementation.”
