OPINION:
Billionaire climate change alarmist Bill Gates has just come out and said climate change isn’t all that alarming after all — that in fact, the world ought to do a “strategic pivot” that puts people as the core concern and that calls for a globally focused “chief goal” “to prevent suffering” for the poor.
People, not plants. The poor are the priority — put aside emissions controls. Wow, Bill Gates. Just wow. Somebody’s got a bit of ‘splainin’ to do. Gates is, after all, the guy who for years and years and, oh, was it already mentioned, years, that told the world to stop driving, to stop flying, to stop building, to stop eating meat, to stop breeding cows, to stop breathing without first offsetting that breathing by cashing in some breathing chips with the carbon trading companies — to do all this in the name of climate change.
Gates was the one who was going to save the world from the big polluters of the world — that is, the peon people — by getting the people of the world to stop having children and start having more abortions and start having sterilization procedures. People make people who pollute, dontcha know.
He taught all this while flying from here to there, and there to here, so he could lecture about the hazards of bovine gaseous emissions, also known as cow farts, and spread around samples of his lab-grown meat that was grown from the finest skin cells known to mankind. Disgusting? Yes. But as Gates would say: If it saved even one salamander species from extinction, then by the Goddess of Green, it was worth it.
It’s a different world these days, Gates now says.
“There’s a doomsday view of climate change that goes like this: In a few decades, cataclysmic climate change will decimate civilization. The evidence is all around us — just look at the all the heat waves and storms caused by rising global temperatures. Nothing matters more than limiting the rise in temperature. Fortunately for all of us, this view is wrong,” Gates wrote on his GatesNotes blog.
Fortunately for us?
This view is wrong?
Wow. Wow, Bill Gates. Just wow.
This is the view Gates himself put out there — so that he could then build the systems and models for the environmental crowd that he then profited from, most handsomely. His foundation; his Breakthrough Energy venture capital firm; his carbon offset investments — even while acknowledging the unsound science of carbon offset programs — all these and more have served as environmental gold for Gates, who has used his platform and global influence to sell the narrative of zero emissions as a must-have goal, all the while profiting from the companies and corporations and government contracts and politicians he’s influenced to do his bidding; that he’s bullied into building his climate-tied regulatory controlled systems.
“Innovating to Zero!” — that was Bill Gates in a 2016 National Geographic essay, in which he went on to write: “I’m going to talk today about energy and climate. … The climate getting worse means that many years, [poor people’s] crops won’t grow. There will be too much rain, not enough rain, things will change in ways that their fragile environment simply can’t support. And that leads to starvation, it leads to uncertainty, it leads to unrest. So, the climate changes will be terrible for them.”
People will die. Wars will start. And more people will die.
In 2022, it was this — a headline from QZ.com, in a submission from Bill Gates: “Why I’m investing $1 billion of my own money into clean energy research.” He went on to write, “This will be a fairly big increase over the investments I am already making, and I am doing it because I believe that the next half-decade will bring many breakthroughs that will help solve climate change. As I argued in this 2010 TED talk, we need to be able to power all sectors of the economy with sources that do not emit any carbon dioxide.”
Why? People will die. Wars will start. More people will die.
His narrative now?
Eh. Not so much.
“Although climate change will have serious consequences — particularly for people in the poorest countries — it will not lead to humanity’s demise. People will be able to live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future,” Gates just wrote in his latest GatesNotes.
Oh, humanity, how we can all breathe easy now that Gates has given us back life. Right?
Here’s what’s going on: Gates has made his mark in climate change. He’s made his money in the ridiculous zero-emissions game. He’s done the whole climate regulatory clampdown thang. And he’s bored.
He’s a bored billionaire, ready to move on to his next project — and make the whole world move on with him.
Gates isn’t so much a contributor to humanity — though he wants the reputation as one. He’s more of a controller of humanity. And now he’s simply moving on to a new mechanism of control. What is it?
“Although Gates said investment to battle climate change must continue, he argued that President Donald Trump’s cuts to USAID threaten a more urgent problem, inflicting potentially lasting global damage to the fight against famine and life-threatening preventable sickness,” CNN wrote.
Vaccines. Vaccines and medicines and health.
“Health and prosperity are the best defense against climate change,” Gates wrote.
COVID One, and the whole government-forced vaccine movement was good for Gates, who invested billions into the production of the shots. Now stay tuned for COVID Two on steroids.
