Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates now says climate change “will not lead to humanity’s demise,” despite having spent years fearmongering over rising global temperatures.
Gates authored a surprising blog post on Monday advocating for climate activists to move away from the “doomsday outlook” they have spent years peddling.
“Although climate change will have serious consequences — particularly for people in the poorest countries — it will not lead to humanity’s demise,” wrote Gates, who has spent billions of dollars on climate-related initiatives. “People will be able to live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future.”

I don't have to backtrack a bit I've NEVER bought into this fairy tale and the associated massive number of SCAMS.

Ooooh, Bill!
Melinda and Bono are going to de-friend you and you're going to be Musked. Will the left call for boycotting Microsoft?

I won't believe this until I hear it directly from climate expert Greta Thunberg. /s

It's a little late after 60,000 trees were cut down in Scotland to "save the planet!"

Bill Gates is a liar. It was never about the climate, it was about control. About personal power. Don't be surprised if they find he was behind the horrific Lahaina Fires - despite the blame being placed on sparks from electrical lines. Zuckerberg has his Kauai bunker, and there are 'debunked' rumors Gates has also been poking about there.

No one cares what Gates says. As for the UN, their goals include to transfer vast wealth from the United States into the pockets of elitist hypocrite, corrupt globalists and to impose a gun grab on U.S. citizens. The UN is a communist, anti-Semitic parasite.

I'm SO glad Bill Gates decreed that "People will be able to live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future."
I mean, what would we DO if he hadn't backtracked on this? (Eye roll)

But how about the Sahara as a forest, like it once was?

Gates is not super smart, he was just at the right place at the right time. He hired very smart people. Windows isn't all that great even after 56 versions but now it's universal and only challenged by Apple and a few other small OS products. He probably just ran out of ways of making money from the climate scam.

I believe Bill knows 'green energy' will not sustain/supply the amount of power/electricity needed to support his investments in AI. Fossil fuel will be need to keep up and there are restrictions on AI server development due to lack of infrastructure and demand. Follow the money

"Although climate change will have serious consequences — particularly for people in the poorest countries — it will not lead to humanity’s demise,"
Many people have been saying that the best way forward is to address PROVEN specific problems as best as possible, not try to adjust a global thermostat that is probably not even in our control and not working as Alarmists claim it would.
An example, sea level IS rising. It has been rising at a STEADY rate for a long time. If countries are threatened by rising oceans, we should see what reasonable mitigation steps might be taken.
What is magic about 1.5 degrees C? The planet's temperature has changed much more than this in the past, long before humans had any impact at all. The current global average temp. is about 15 degrees C. During the ice age it was 7.8 degrees C. That is almost 5 times the MAGIC 1.5 degree C that the Alarmists babble about.
And don't give Gates too much credit. The Climate house of cards has been collapsing for a while. Like all the people back peddling about about Biden's senility and Kamala's inanity, some of the climate Alarmists are trying to minimize damage to their reputation from the collapse. Gate's support for Common Core and Climate Alarmism has left him on shaky ground. Money can't save your reputation when you have acted like a moron.

Does Gates think we should still put dust on the sun so it isn't as hot?

Second post to say this: I'll believe all the climate change alarmists are serious when they start living life like the Native Americans did 200 years ago--no modern houses, no tech gadgets, no cars, no electricity, no filtered water made possible by fossil fuels, no clothing made using fossil fuels, no food grown or harvested using fossil fuels, etc., etc.
Until then, SHUT UP!

Don't autistic savants have a narrow band of apparent brilliance that may or may not be an advantage, depending on the time and circumstances? Outside of that range, I think they are general pretty dull and foolish people. I think Mr. Bill overstepped his competence.

As It turns out that the climate alarmists' doom saying about the warming planet is mostly BS, maybe they can turn to what would be a far worse event...global cooling. Another ice age, big or little would be devastating. Even the "Little Ice Age" was terrible when it occurred. Crop failures, deaths and immense suffering.
It was one of the reasons for our Civil War. We were just coming out that deep freeze around 1850. If the South seceded it would brutally hit the North because they would lose a big part of the tariffs that the government ran on. No income tax in those days. As Lincoln said when told the South would likely secede he asked, "But what will become of my tariffs"? The northern ports were still getting iced in back then and made the wooden ships of the day unable to navigate in and dock and unload. That would cut down on the tariff income even more. Slavery, as vile a practice that it was, gave the North another excuse for a war that left 600,000 dead and a devastated South.Follow the money.
Lincoln had the abolitionists screaming in one ear and the northern businessmen in the other. A few degrees of warming would be exponentially better than another ice age, big or little.

Hmmmm...... The Climate Scam has been used for 50 years to promote societal control via 'climate change' laws. Look at what it did to Germany, look at all the huge windmills and solar farms here in the USA. As I understand it None of which would exist without Federal subsidies. Look at the Federal subsidies - and also the forced payments from Ford, GM and Stellantis via the CAFE laws- to Tesla and the other electric car companies.
Look at the transfer of manufacturing away from America and Europe with their labyrinths of environmental and 'climate change' laws. Manufacturing -and the wealth that it produces- moved to China, who now burns more Coal that the rest of the world combined, and India, which is moving down the same path.
I think Gates has figured out that AI is a faster and more direct route to total control of the population. As I understand it, AI needs lots of these huge Data Centers, which in turn need a TON of Electricity to operate. Gates needs Electrical Power to advance his AI-driven scheme for Political Power, and the Global Warming SCAM makes electricity generation more difficult, and so has lost it's usefulness to him.
So..... Gates is backing off on Global Warming, encouraging more electricity generation for those Data Centers, to further advance his AI-based CONTROL of.... US!
What do you L-dotters think? Am I on to something, or am I wandering off into 'Left Field'?

Why would we trust a man whose company could never create a decent personal computer operating system? Also, if you were wrong about climate hysteria ONCE, can your other prognostications ever be believed?
You know, the ancient Hebrews were given a Law from God, which among other things said that should a man claim to be a prophet, but was demonstrably wrong about anything he foretold, the penalty for this would be death by stoning for being a "false prophet." If the Law could be applied today in academic areas, such as the climate change hoax, I predict there would be a far smaller cabal who would posit such ambiguous drivel that it would amount to mostly nothing-burgers, to which none, except nut-jobs, paid the slightest attention.

All of the Dem political lies are unravelling.
The border was not secure.
The vaccine did not prevent COVID.
Federal funds were used for abortions.
Climate change was a scam.

I think Bill Gates' goal is to severely reduce the world population. It turned out that climate change wouldn't do it (he's so stupid that it took years for him to see that) so he's exploring alternate methods like fake foods.

The climate change scam has burned itself out. Time to move on. If you read between the lines Gates has decided that wealth redistribution is what the world needs to save itself. Not his wealth. Everyone else’s. If liberals had the ability to think for themselves people like Bill Gates would be the Kings they would be protesting.

A very large number of public figures are going to be very silent about the climate change hoax as they discover that the people have figured out that it was just a long running scam and the "deniers" were right.

Bill Gates has always known that "Climate Change" will not lead to Humanity's Demise...
Because he always intended to be the one to cause Humanity's Demise.
Don't forget that he is a firm believer in reducing and permanently limiting the Population of Earth to 500,000 people, Maximum.

Hmmm...interesting. The Gatester is having second thoughts? Sounds like another head fake to me.
