Suddenly, Bill Gates is admitting that climate change won’t lead to “humanity’s demise” after all.
Now he tells us, after he long joined other climate alarmists in warning of “disaster,” as the West burned trillions on “decarbonizing” and steered economies toward the stone age.
The “doomsday view” that “cataclysmic climate change will decimate civilization” is “wrong,” the Microsoft co-founder writes; people will “be able to live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future.” His 2021 book “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster” somehow missed these truths; he predictied instead that global warming “could be worse” than COVID.

He's lying.
It was never about Climate Change. It is about public perception and control. Trump is currently winning. If the Democrats started winning, he would be for, whatever they were for.

Now that the money that Climate Change has sucked out of sane people is no longer available, the threat has cooled down. Pun intended. My only concern is for Greta.

Gates has only admitted that the panic over the end of humanity from climate change was overwrought. 'But it is still a terrible problem', to paraphrase his claims. IMHO Gates is neither a fool nor ignorant. That leaves malevolence to explain his belief in the whole lie of man-made climate change - a perversion of science to allow control of we poor idiots at the bottom of the food chain.

Ok fine. He admits he was wrong. Now will he restore all the economies he helped burden and even destroy?
Gee, we didnt have to drive you out of business after all. Hope you have all the luck starting another one.
Now he can go back to killing African kids with his vaccines with a clear conscience.

Any idiot knows that every prediction on climate catastrophe was wrong.
I want to hear Gates say that his pushing vaccines did much more harm than good!

"but will lefty climate warriors follow suit?"
OF COURSE NOT! Because for many of the people that lead the Alarmists, it's NOT about climate. Climate is the tool being used to hamstring American, specifically, and democratic, generally government. The forces of authoritarianism/socialism cannot compete with free societies. Free societies are wealthier, healthier, and happier. Free societies grow and prosper. Free societies improve the world.
As long as climate is an effective weapon against free societies, the autocrats will use it. Gates is stepping away because the effectiveness of climate as a weapon is weakening and complete collapse of the climate change myth is imminent. It cannot withstand scrutiny and THAT is what is happening.
As to Gates, since he left Microsoft and got involved in social causes, you have to wonder how this guy ever ran a successful company because he has been on the wrong side of everything else he has done.

He's lying through his teeth. Only yesterday I read an article in which his name is mentioned as to the seeding of the atmosphere with contrails from airliners. That it has been done for years and is being done and plans are to intensify it with carbon particles specifically to "dim the sun" is in motion.

If (a big if) he's sincere, he'll quickly find out what happens to those who depart from the progressive/liberal/woke narrative.

Well, let's wait for the other shoe to drop, so to speak. See what other alarmist hoax he's planning on to make millions for himself and to bring about the destruction of Western Civilization.

I have a few suggestions to divert and feed the fearmongering of the leftist loons. Yellowstone is about to blow. The Big One in California is imminent. That rogue asteroid is still on a collision course. A new and more effective pandemic is almost ready to deploy. The Jews are secretly taking over the world. A Black Hole is forming and moving closer to the earth's orbit. The Bigfoot army has a stash of weapons in Canada and they are ready to attack. Worst of all, that AI computer in a cave in Africa is almost ready to turn itself on.

As before with his support of the climate change industry, it's all about the money for Gates. Stop spending so much on the climate change fear mongering and spend more on his international pharmaceutical efforts.

Ha! I wouldn't trust this little dweeb as far as I can throw him. As some above have already pointed out, the whole climate charade is mainly about control, although a little lucre on the side doesn't hurt (wink,wink).
If Gates is REALLY forsaking the Keystone Klimate Kop brigade, watch for him on some other front where control of the masses is part of the plan.

Bill Gates saw no light. He saw money, trillions of it, sitting on the sidelines waiting to be scooped up. I suspect he is heavily, heavily invested in AI, and AI needs electrons - lots of electrons - to carry out his plan of depopulating the planet.

After helping force Government to waste TRILLIONS on stupid "Green" projects... GOD DAMN him and all he stands for!
It was never about the Climate, it's about destroying Democracies and installing Socialism world wide!
In the 1960s it was Global warming was gonna destroy the planet in 10 to 15 years, didn't happen! Then it was Gplbal cooling and planet destruction was immenent, in 10 to 15 years, didn't happen. Climate change was the new mantra, we all know how that turned out. Every single person involved with these ideas are America-hating socialist/communist garbage human beings!
The only thing important to these people is the complete domination of Socialism, witness the UN!

Gates wants to perpetuate the climate scare but only for its effect on 3W countries, which is all the oligarc psychos need to throttle the world economy under them.
**He did this to ensure his energy gobbling AI is not strangled in the crib by the climatistas**
Gates has built an anti energy monster that wants to eat his baby!! Never saw that coming.

Number 13 has it right. The climate scam was a huge waste of money, but how much? I'll bet it's a number followed by 12 zeros (trillions). But yes, Gates like everyone else sees the rise of the electric power sucking AI, and knows it will necessitate generation of new power from every possible source, and that need trumps everything else. It's all about the 'Benjamins.'

Gates is betting that he can slide across the table to Trump a "concession" on his climate nonsense in order to gain favor on his many other business interests involving genetically modified/synthetic food, genetically altered mosquitos carrying vaccines to anyone they bite, and probably a half-dozen other, "Evil Scientist" experiments he has brewing in his underground lab.

Wow! So does this also mean that Gates will now advocate to undo all of CO2 nonsense promoted by the Greenies, and the multiplied billions in extra costs that nonsense has cost the world, such as:
electric cars
ethanol-diluted gasoline
elimination of coal as a means to produce electricity
windmills and solar farms
CO2 sequestration
etc etc etc

His change is only because of AI and it's need for power.
Notice how so many of the never nuclear are now just fine with numerous nuclear generators to power AI.

Well, that explains why that little toad Greta Thunberg's sudden switch from screaming about saving civilization from global warming to 'saving' those poor Palestinians who have been persecuted for decades by those evil Israeli's. Anything to stay in the public's eyes.

Bill Gates is an opportunist. I think the only thing realized is that he was on the wrong side of the argument and in danger of loosing favorability.

Gates is LYING as usual. He's covering his behind because of Trump. Climate Change is a long running SCAM to steal our money to pay off Leftist Thugs!

Obviously he has found another and much better way to off "unnecessary eaters" and enslave the rest.
