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.

The best way to spread prosperity is to encourage capitalism, not communism.
And stop telling black people they can’t make it unless whitey gives them more (and more and more and more). They can succeed on their own. Accept equality and give it a try.
“The best way to spread prosperity is to encourage capitalism, not communism.”
“It was possible, no doubt, to imagine a society in which wealth, in the sense of personal possessions and luxuries, should be evenly distributed, while power remained in the hands of a small privileged caste. But in practice such a society could not long remain stable. For if leisure and security were enjoyed by all alike, the great mass of human beings who are normally stupefied by poverty would become literate and would learn to think for themselves; and when once they had done this, they would sooner or later realise that the privileged minority had no function, and they would sweep it away. In the long run, a hierarchical society was only possible on a basis of poverty and ignorance.”
― George Orwell, 1984
Exactly. Bill Gates of Hell should know about human suffering as he has caused enough of it through his global “health” experiments on innocent victims.
Of course when Billy💀Gates says reduce human suffering he means depopulating the Earth. Gates is an evil Bastard!
Bjorn Lomborg has been saying this for 20 years. Too bad we wasted all those trillions of resources on phony scares.
This Bill Gates fellow, he’s not very bright?
STFU Bill! No-one believes a word you have to say. You a a lying POS, and everyone now knows this.
F off
What cure is he proposing for human suffering? Straight up euthanasia?

More jabs—especially for the poor!
Not sure that’s the answer. Steve Jobs’ widow spends all her profits on climate hoax.
I think Freepers missed the boat on this one, totally good news that climate activists will have to deal with. The money quote:”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.”
“I think Freepers missed the boat on this one......”

The only reason he is saying this now is because his company is heavily invested in AI. AI requires massive amount of energy. Energy produces CO2. Therefore CO2 is not so bad. Earlier when he was heavily invested in Green tech (still is but dwarfed by AI) CO2 was the end of mankind.
I have been looking at the temperatures of our country and I believe we are heading into a period of colder weather for the next several months followed by a period of warming then a repeat.
I do not know why this is happening but if given a large grant I can do more research.
Back in January, we had a foot of Globull Warming on the ground here along the Gulf Coast for the first time in recorded history.............
Good thing a hurricane comes thru now and again to rid the area of Globull Warming.
