The word for today is conflation.

He “helps” so that when everything is fine he takes credit.

Since you can run Linux with a lower power computer than Windows 10, how much global warming could we stop just by shutting down Microsoft?

Here is the keystone.
World Bank CEO Kristalina Georgieva

I’d be willing to bet that she has direct connections to those who are really pushing for Global Warming-Tax.
This goes far beyond the DNC.
I’m thinking Davos.

“...costing billions of dollars every year to recover from destructive events...”

It’s called NATURE, you idiots. It’s been going on for millions of years, and will continue for millions more. You eco-scum can’t affect it one way or another. NONE OF US CAN.

What’s so hard to understand?

Yes, global warming is real.

It has been going on for the last 20,000 years.

That's back when New York and the northern part of North America were buried under a 2 mile thick glacier known as the Laurentide ice sheet.

Why not spend the money in the USA helping to create more jobs?

I know it is their own money, but still raises my hair.

I already drew up the plan. Took all of 5 minutes which included costing and estimated time to completion. More importantly, it creates a new player in the global economy, pulls thousands if not more out of poverty and provides clean drinking water for millions.

But the best part of this is, it uses only alternative power sources to create electricity and with desalination plants being the key to the success of the project, it will keep the oceans from flooding the continent. It is the perfect “Green” project which liberals cannot refute.

I doubt Gates will use very much of his own money, relatively speaking. He and his rich wacko leftists start these organizations to”fundraise” and draw various entities and countries into the scam.

Remember when Bill Gates, who was made rich by American software buyers, buying his not-so-great OS’s in the 1980s , products that had been built by American workers, took all his money and spent it helping black, brown and Asian people - specifically excluding whites? The so called “Gates Scholarships”?

And so is "climate change." The climate on our planet is continually changing and has done so since the dawn of time.

Even if Gates were using his own money, he’d be entirely capable of covering his losses, playing the market in ways where he could parlay his pronouncements by beforehand moving his money in anticipation of the effects those later pronouncements would have on the markets.

All in all, playing the markets with (his own) insider information is less stressful than running a big company as he did in the past to amass his first billion.

I wonder if they actually measure the increase in the Oceans rise, or just put numbers in a computer model? In the 60 years I have been around, the tide still comes up to a different dang place twice every day, then recedes to a different low. The Ocean is ever changing, eroding the land on every shore. Is that what they mean by rising seas?

All of that land goes under the water, making it rise ever imperceptibly I am sure. Miami Beach in Florida is dredging sand out of the depths to place on the beaches every day as the sea takes more land. Isn’t this process repeated over the hundreds of thousands of miles of coastland?
