Three tough truths about climate
GatesNotes ^ | 10/28/2025 | Bill Gates

What I want everyone at COP30 to know.

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 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. 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. Emissions projections have gone down, and with the right policies and investments, innovation will allow us to drive emissions down much further.

Unfortunately, the doomsday outlook is causing much of the climate community to focus too much on near-term emissions goals, and it’s diverting resources from the most effective things we should be doing to improve life in a warming world.

It’s not too late to adopt a different view and adjust our strategies for dealing with climate change. Next month’s global climate summit in Brazil, known as COP30, is an excellent place to begin, especially because the summit’s Brazilian leadership is putting climate adaptation and human development high on the agenda.

This is a chance to refocus on the metric that should count even more...

You would think they could plan their global warming protests better...

Climate has been changing since long before man. We have insignificant influence over climate (though we are quite capable of screwing up our environment). Humans don’t CHANGE the climate, we ADAPT to it. Sometimes that means migrating out of inhospitable climates over time. Or different food sources or shelters. Think of Sam Kinison’s comedy routine about feeding Africans in the desert. If you live in the desert where there’s no food, MOVE!

In Gate’s case, he realizes that there’s more money to be made in AI, and that requires massive power generation. Can’t have that and still push for less CO2. So he’s coming around to the reality that we have to shift climate change strategy to adaptation. So now he will find ways to profit from that.

When all the premises are lies and all the arguments are lies then all the conclusions are lies.

A committee of apes could come up with more useful information than this article.

One tough (for some people) truth about climate.

The whole climate change thing is a hoax.
