Bill Gates is now planning to work more closely with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos to deal with climate crisis that could dwarf the current pandemic in fatalities and global impact.

Unlike the pandemic, it's hard to get people to focus on catastrophes that may be decades away in enough time to avert them, Gates mentioned.
