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, Gates told reporters, “I’ll let the temperature go up 0.1 degree to get rid of malaria. People don’t understand the suffering that exists today.”
The Microsoft co-founder spends most of his time now on the goals of the Gates Foundation, which has poured tens of billions of dollars into health care, education and development initiatives worldwide, including combating HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. He started Breakthrough Energy in 2015 to speed up innovation in clean energy.

One day Gates will face his own blue screen.
Why do I hear a Submarine klaxon when reading the title, “Ahooga, Ahooga, Ahooga” the Climate Change scam has been discovered! Time to switch to “we care about people scam.... repeat “we care about people’s suffering!”. Ahooga!
*paging Rachel Carson
Hold on...he may have finally come to grips with reality.
We can’t change Mother Nature so focus should move to adaptation. Proper adaption will reduce human suffering. You’re almost there, Bill.
Soylent Green is PEOPLE!........................
STFU, Bill.
Nobody cares what you think.
I have had enough with the lectures from this creepy weirdo...
And to Bill Gates reducing suffering means reducing the population.
If he genuinely cared, yes he could feed every snap person in the US for a year and not miss a beat. I would bet.
“If given a choice between eradicating malaria...”
Use DDT. Simple. Rachel Carson (Silent Spring) is one of the biggest mass murderers of the 20th century with her eco lies that led to making DDT illegal.
Yep, absolutely...
How nice of you, Bill. He thinks he can control these trade-offs? Who does he think he is? God?
Is Bill going to open factories to produce VX now?
The suffering has been caused by him.
So, we’re going back to Windows XP?
Someone misspelled “population”!
Bill Gates,
You could stop human suffering by not supporting or engaging in pedophrlia.
You could stop human suffering by preventing a wasteful and painful government shutdown by refusing to support democrats.
You could use your wealth now to support ‘essential’ government like military pay, ICE pay, and air traffic controller pay.
Like so many liberals, you don’t want to do the hard things to stop
Suffering, just use the crisis for self importance and make other people pay.
Bill Gates,
You could stop human suffering by making Windows Open Source..............
How many hospitals has Bill Gates built?.
The only suffering is having to listen to these insane Climate Crisis Nutjobs
