Christopher (Chris) WallaceFox News’s Chris Wallace praises Biden’s discipline Klobuchar: accusation ‘was not to hide history’ Graham: Trump ‘angry at some people’ but ‘ready to go’ MORE asks Gates on ‘Fox News Sunday’ how he reacts to critics on his left who say the solutions he advocates are inadequate compared to the release of the next decade.
“It’s completely unrealistic to think that we can eliminate emissions by 2030,” Gates replied, adding that “not seeing this problem as difficult will be part of the problem of getting involved.”
Gates went on to warn that worse climate issues would affect other geopolitical factors.
“The migration we saw from Syria for their civil war was somewhat dependent on the weather,” he said. ‘We’re going to have ten times as much migration because the equatorial areas will become uninhabitable, you will not be able to farm or go outside during the summer. ”
“It’s all a matter of degree,” he added. “If we wait another ten years, it’s not as bad as we wait 20, or you wait 30, because the temperature keeps going.”
Wallace also asked Gates about his views on the deployment of coronavirus vaccines, to which Gates responded: “It gives us light at the end of the tunnel”, but “we need to get the logistics right.”
“I am hopeful that we will have more schools reopened. By the autumn we have to avoid the wait there because the vaccination will be very high, ‘he added.
Gates’ remarks come as the US approaches the 500,000 deaths in the coronavirus, the highest in any country by far. The country has also seen declining virus cases and more than ten percent of the country is getting at least their first dose of vaccination.
