In a stunning and significant pushback to the “doomsday” climate activist community, Bill Gates, a leading proponent for carbon emissions reductions, published a remarkable essay Tuesday that argued resources must be shifted away from the battle against climate change.
Instead, Gates argues, the world’s philanthropists must increase their investment in other efforts aimed at preventing disease and hunger.
Climate change is not going to wipe out humanity, he argued, and past efforts that strive for achieving zero carbon emissions have made real progress. But Gates said that past investments fighting climate change have been misplaced, and too much good money has been put into expensive and questionable efforts.
Indeed: He does this one step ahead of the law of con men eventually being caught.
@feelsdesperate – It’s amazing how AI came along with its massive energy needs and in a blink they just dropped ‘climate.’
proof from his own words that bill gates is an a-hole.
one of the main ingredients to plant (read food) is carbon.
BG spent ???money to get carbon reduction.
now he’s fighting against starvation.
I would hate to be down wind of him when he’s speaking.
… and let’s see “the Epstein Files” on Gates, shall we? Speaking of downwind from him …
He is a POS, and it’s impossible for him to change his mind out of the blue. It’s more probable that he may have been ‘persuaded’. For ex (just an idea) Trump Team to dangle the possibility that all gov computers may change OS from Win11/O365/Office to Linux/nonWindows variants, if he doesn’t play ball.

There are $$$$$’s in those new lies fer sure!
Gates just see’s diminishing returns in the olde lies.
It was inevitable that someone big would eventually do this, as the clear evidence against CAGW continued to pile up to the point where it was undeniable. I just wasn’t expecting it to be Bill Gates.
Pinkos are in retreat everywhere.
Marc Carney was a weak stop-gap measure,
doesn’t know he’s the last man standing in their latest soviet version of musical chairs.
Must have had a chat with Bjørn Lomborg.
Lomborg ‘been talking about it for a generation.
Our (latest socialist project) has failed, but we we’ve made real progress. Time to move on to the next plutocracy hypocrisy. We’re waiting for Soros to chime in on justice, where they’ve also made “progress.” Out with the old; in with the old.
Well … your former PM, Trudope must have gotten the early memo from Gates as she and her new girlfriend hopped Katy’s private jet for a date night in Paris. Good to know she imposed Net Zero taxes on you! While she jets around the world … just to kiss a girl.
Gates’ acceptance of reality is a start.
The problem is that governments and parties all over the world have bought into the globalist propaganda orchestrated by the U.N. “Climate change” is a tool for excercising control over people – CO2 reduction with current technologies is a horribly inefficient method of trying to control global temperature.
The propaganda has been so effective that most political parties, including cowardly Canadian Conservatives are afraid to tell people the truth because they would get crucified by the left leaning innumerate press.
Trump has balls, unfortunately he calls global warming a ‘scam.’ It is real, but at 1.4 Degrees C per century it is not a crisis. Emissions reduction programs in general are a ‘scam.’
Yes, Bjorn Lomborg explains the situation well.
Global warming may be real but after that comes global cooling; it’s a perpetual cycle. That’s the way it’s always been.
Mankind can’t control global temperature despite all the BS spewed by the green cultists and stupid politicians.
Why it’s almost like a certain someone listened to another certain someone’s speech at the U.N. and found out the wind changed direction.
It’s been a good run though – Scare the living sh** out of impressionable school age kids with climate change dogma till they’re old enough to repeat your shibboleths while holding political office… then at the end of it all say “Let’s move on to something else”.
I discovered early on in life that those who shout the loudest are usually the biggest grifters and personally don’t believe for a moment the B.S. they’re trying to sell everyone else.
Hard to say when I had this epiphany… maybe when counter culture icon Jerry Rubin broke the hearts of his many followers by becoming a Wall st. broker.
I have battled my elementary school teacher wife (now retired) for years over the global warming charade. She has to teach the State curriculum… which preaches global warming caused by sinful “dependence” on fossil fuels. I have tried to tell her this is utter propaganda and fear-mongering.
She’s done, but I have no doubt the CA schools will NEVER stop teaching and preaching that capitalism-bad … socialism is “fair to all” … and socialism will “save the planet” from global warming.
Nobody complains about Bill Gate’s soft pedalled climate denialism…crickets. Gee, who would have guessed?
And he still manages to blame Trump.
A good article in the National Post about failed environmental programs.

Rats are pretty smart. They’ll leave the wheat bin if they sense danger or a new food source opening up.
Europeans have hot summers.
Europeans shun air conditioners.
Europeans die from the heat.
Europeans then blame GoreBull warming from fossil fuels.
You can’t fix stupid.
