Pollution and Climate: Week 3: Bill Gates pens a new view on Climate Change

This week, we will examine the October 28, 2025 blog post of Bill Gates on his new view on Climate Change. You can access the original post here:
Gates Notes for the UN Climate Conference in November 2025 called COP30

I have this long blog post summarized by CoPilot and have it in 9 smaller parts; each part is what we will use in our next meeting for oral reading practice and to understand the mind of one of the world’s top business and social leaders when it comes to Climate Change and setting Climate Change reduction goals for the planet.

The readings (with photos!) are on a supplementary page linked here:
Climate Change supplementary page November 8, 2025

We are nearing the end of our Autumn Sessions, which will have its final session on November 29, 2025.

We will be spending several sessions after that, starting on December 6, 2025, on Winter Art, Christmas Art, and Dreaming Big for 2026!

Pollution and Environmental Policy

Pollution and Environmental Policy

We shift our attention toward the existential threat posed by pollution and the environmental policy that is created to counteract the threat of pollution.

In your estimation, which is a bigger threat?

1) carbon dioxide emissions from industrial activity

2) unrestrained trash accumulation and storage

3) the increase in the use of environmentally unfriendly plastic

Please think about these options while you research pollution and environmental policy.
