Bill Gates’ solution to end climate change: eat synthetic meat

Bill Gates He is one of those technological characters who will always remain in the memory, not only for Microsoft, but also for his efforts at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation where, among other things, he is focused on combating the climate change.

Y Bill Gates is hopeful that synthetic meat products will be the ideal solution for consumers, despite the fact that today the market for this type of meat is very small.

“I think over time these products will be very good even though their share is small today”, Gates said in a Reddit forum on a question related to the fight against the climate crisis, collects the CNBC.

He adds that proposals such as Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods, plant-based food solutions, and the Upside Foods proposal, which uses animal cells to later grow meat in a laboratory, are examples of how to reduce the consumption of meat of animals.

While he has nothing against vegetarianism, he maintains that most people, in the eventual future, will not choose to eliminate meat of your diet.

“I don’t think most people do that.”, adding that alternative meat products “are necessary options to reduce the consumption of traditional meat”.

Bill Gates still has hope in the Paris Climate Agreement

Although estimates are not being met, Gates comments that “I still believe we can avoid a terrible outcome“, about him climate change.

While studies vary on the effect animal agriculture has on emissions of greenhouse gases, there seem to be estimates ranging from 10 to 20% of the emissions.

“The pace of innovation is really picking up even though we won’t meet current deadlines or avoid going past 1.5 degrees Celsius“, it states Gates.

“The key to climate is to make clean products as cheap as dirty products in all emission areas: airplanes, concrete, meat, etc. This is the only way we can ask every country in the world to change. If it costs much more, we will not succeed”, he concludes.
