Bill Gates Sounds Alarm on Future Threats
Billionaire philanthropist and Microsoft founder Bill Gates has been warning about looming threats like climate change and cyberattacks for decades. In a conversation with CNBC, he stated, "A lot of unrest in today’s world could spark a major war." Furthermore, he believes that even if we avoid a major conflict, another pandemic is likely within the next 25 years.
The Rise of Pandemics
Scientists concur that pandemics are increasing in frequency due to factors such as climate change and population growth. Gates remarked, "The question isn't whether another pandemic will happen soon — it's whether nations will be more prepared than they were for the outbreak of COVID-19." He criticized the United States and other nations for their inadequate responses during the COVID crisis.
