Bill Gates Has a Master Plan for Battling Climate Change
The Wall Street Journal ^ | February 15, 2021 | Christina Binkley

A day before the inauguration, as Lady Gaga rehearsed “The Star-Spangled Banner” in Washington, D.C., wildfires burned in Sonoma, Santa Cruz and Ventura counties in California, shocking climatologists who had never witnessed the state’s fire season extend into January. NASA had just announced that 2020 tied with 2016 for the warmest year on record. As the Covid-19 pandemic drove city dwellers to search for places that felt surer, safer—Vermont, Kansas, Idaho—the FBI began arresting Americans who had rioted in the U.S. Capitol. Online sales of “prepper” gear (gas masks, food preservation kits) were brisk.

Bill Gates was at his lakeside compound in Seattle, gearing up for his next effort to save the planet from mass extinction. For 20 years, Gates has been studying the twin global afflictions of disease and poverty. These efforts led him to consider climate change and its vexing impact on civilization. This month, Knopf will publish his latest book, How to Avoid a Climate Disaster. Remarkably, given the state of the world, it is an optimistic, can-do sort of book, chock-full of solutions for a problem President Jimmy Carter began warning about in 1977.

Does it involve Bill Gates getting richer?

I bet it does.

Kill off the world population through sterilization? That one?

Heh. Bill Gates is without question a gimp a dweeb with a truly ugly thieving mind. He will get his, very soon, and the man/she/it to whom he is married. Why can’t he just count his coin and go the. h. away? Pencil necks have to pencil with their little dweeby pen—cil.

A straightforward master plan. He will be the master and we will be the slaves.

Just because he has money does not prove he is smart. Actually, if you listen to him he is an absolute simpleton. The man-made portion of global warming is a tiny and insignificant part of the picture. That is the actual science behind global warming. Truth does no matter to these rich oligarchs. Wake up America!

This time, for once, the media got it right. 2020 was one of the warmest years on record.

Why? Did CO2 rise or did world wide CO2 suddenly jump. Was CO2 release dramatically different. The answer to all of the CO2 questions is actually NO. No, CO2 release was lower, much lower, yet temperatures were high.

We, if we are scientific, need to ask why temperatures were warmer if CO2 release was lower and concentrations unchanged. The answer is actually simple, and it’s one of the strongest drivers of global warming.

Yes, it’s AIR QUALITY. The cleaner the air, the more global warming you get. Covid19 decreased particulate matter release, and grounded countless aircraft (contrails) that resulted in cleaner air, less ‘clouds’ and more global warming.

It’s amazing. There doesn’t seem to be a single topic that he isn’t an expert in and has all the answers for you to follow.

Bill Gates is a saint! He said we was going to donate his entire fortune, and the proceeds from the sale of all his businesses, for the cause of Global Change, er, Climate Warbling, or ... er Climate Wandering? Of course he said that, I was sitting right across from him when he said it. That wasn’t Bill Gates? You sure? He looked like a nerd, and who would say anything this stupid anyway?
