A week ago, Bill Gates released a long memo on climate that got a great deal of attention. He said more or less what critics like Bjorn Lomborg have been saying for a long time: sure, increased levels of carbon dioxide will tend to increase global temperatures to some extent. But the increase will be modest and will not have catastrophic consequences. Rather than impoverish the world in a futile attempt to control the weather, we should focus on human well-being, which relies more than anything else on affordable energy.
You might think that such a moderate, sensible approach would meet with nothing but praise. But no: climate alarmists went crazy,

FTA: " . . . sure, increased levels of carbon dioxide will tend to increase global temperatures to some extent. But the increase will be modest"
NONSENSE! There is not a shred of statistical proof that carbon dioxide causes gullible warming - - not a thing. It's discouraging and disgusting that even some intelligent conservatives have swallowed the Fool-Aid.
There is NO man-made gullible warming. Don't give the evil leftists even an inch on this scam!

When Musk formed DOGE with Trump, he was 'non-personed. Now Gates should expect the same thing. Will there be computer burnings a la Tesla?

According to my HS Social Studies class, we were supposed to have frozen to death by now. Trust the science. The science is settled. Silence, whippersnapper. Do not question the great Oz.

Well, well, well. So it turns out it was never about "follow the science" but only about "follow the money." Great article, but most Ldotters have known this for decades. Once again, thank you Donald J. Trump for turning off the US taxpayers' money spigot to these climate grifters.
Are we tired of winning yet? No, No and Hell no!!!

China's economy exploded with the Globull Warming scare. They are the world's solar panel producer by far while they build coal and gas fired electrical generation plants. Only fools believe they will shut down those investments in 5 years as promised. Meanwhile Australia is energy starved due to green policies while they ship their coal to China and India. Germany tore down gas and coal and nuclear plants and destroyed forests to build windfarms which they are now tearing down to build coal, gas plants. Many more examples but where are the main stream Media reports? They lie through omission

The “thing” ( insert performance drama issue) is always about the money and the resulting power. It is sad that so many people fall for performative drama.

Excellent essay. Tens of thousands of people stealing 4500K to $1 million per year as "salaries" in the Climate Scam Industry.
No way are they going to ever admit what Gates finally figured out, decades later than he should have.
I've always understood that the Climate Scam is about money and power and has nothing to do with actual science or climate, only money and power.

The server farms that are going be needed to further AI and other advanced concepts could not possibly be powered by wind and solar (which, I predict, is going away before long ... unaffordable, and horrible for the earth). No, the massive amounts of electricity needed could only be generated by traditional sources, which are nuclear, natural gas, coal, hydroelectric dams. The future Gates wants to happen won't be powered by boutique energy. He knows that. If I had green stocks in my portfolio, I'd be buying puts, selling calls, getting prepared to unload. Short is the way to go on green. Not necessarily today, but before long. Reality has a nasty way of presenting itself, especially to those who resist it.

If you think Bill Gates has changed his philosophy about the one-world government, boy, do I have some ocean-front property for you!
No, their end-goal is still the same: gain the power to kill off "unnecessary eaters" and enslave the rest. But the method of getting there has changed. Globull warming/cooling was too slow, and more people were beginning to realize it's a fraud. Now they've come up with a much better plan. My guess is it has to do with AI and digital currency.

The climate alarmists will never give up.
We traveled across Michigan last week and as we talked with other "leaf-peepers" we all agreed that we hadn't seen colors so vivid and brilliant in several years. Yet yesterday the left leaning Michgan Daily reported that "Michigan's Muted Fall Foliage May Be a Symptom of Climate Change".

Good article, good comments!
When -a few days ago- I read that Gates was abandoning the Climate Scam, it too me about three minutes to figure out that he has figured out that his path to POWER, which used to be via the Climate Scam, has a new, and much faster, more direct path via AI.
AI needs computer power, which means the huge Data Centers, which in turn need a TON of electricity.
The Climate Scam's purpose is political control via restricting and controlling energy. It is an impediment to the much faster AI path to Power, so it has to be disassembled, much to the 'wailing and gnashing of teeth' of the Climate Grifters.
By the way, the article mentions that many of these groups are fueled by Dark Money. I wonder how much of that comes from the ChiComs.
The Method has changed, but the Goal -Political Power- remains the same.
