Bill Gates changes mind on climate change, won't be demise of civilization

In the past 9yrs he's donated 3.5 billion to over 110 climate tech companies

NEW YORK (AP) — Bill Gates thinks climate change is a serious problem but it won’t be the end of civilization. He thinks scientific innovation will curb it, and it’s instead time for a “strategic pivot” in the global climate fight: from focusing on limiting rising temperatures to fighting poverty and preventing disease.

A doomsday outlook has led the climate community to focus too much on near-term goals to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that cause warming, diverting resources from the most effective things that can be done to improve life in a warming world, Gates said. In a memo released Tuesday, Gates said the world’s primary goal should instead be to prevent suffering, particularly for those in the toughest conditions in the world’s poorest countries.

If given a choice between eradicating malaria and a tenth of a degree increase in warming, “I’ll let the temperature go up 0.1 degree to get rid of malaria. People don’t understand the suffering that exists today,” Gates told reporters during a roundtable discussion ahead of the release.

Yes, climate change IS a serious problem but it won't be the end of us. Scientific innovation will curb it. Preventing future deadly viruses is now numero uno. In an effort get those future viruses under control I have randomly selected 3 Americans who will save all of mankind be testing out my new "MEGA-SUPER-vaccine".

The 3 world saving Americans (selected at random):

-warriorfan
-DoomsdayDallas
-baller

These 3 will become the greatest heros of mankind, thank you for saving us.

Global warming/climate change has been one of the biggest scams of the 21st century.

Al Gore ended up being wrong on basically all of his predictions and he made millions of dollars pushing this agenda

People like Gore are using global warming to scam others. This is correct. But also, the temperature is rising. All good though, technology will beat it.

You are extremely cringe and low iq.

Thank you for saving us. Is your body ready for my mega-super injection?

Thank you for saving us. Is your body ready for my mega-super injection?

Your mom is ready for you to move out of her basement.

The world is blessed to have you as one of it's saviors. My new vaccine works best when injected into the buttocks and I will have to administer the injection from behind. Just let me know when your body is ready.

Saying technology will beat it is scary.

More sun blocking and cloud spraying?

Clean energy use is growing rapidly. Most car companies have big EV plans and many are just going full EV. Carbon Capture tech is also making rapid improvements, and that could come to gas fueled car engines as well. Battery tech is improving.

It will all eventually catch up.

The big one I think is that reforestation needs to surpass deforestation, specifically in the rain forest and tropical areas like Brazil.
