So sick of this douchebag - owns a fleet of private jets for himself, recently trying to purchase a large portion of a private jet company - so he can service his other rich friends - and preaches to the little people about how we must sacrifice.

from the above article:

>>>According to a study by academics at Lund University, Gates is one of the world’s biggest “super-emitters” due to his regular private jet travel. He took 59 flights in one year travelling more than 200,000 miles, according to the report, which estimated that Gates’ private jet travel emitted about 1,600 tonnes of carbon dioxide. That compares with a global average of less than five tonnes per person. Researchers have found that private jets emit up to 40 times as much carbon dioxide per passenger than commercial jets.
