Ending the coronavirus pandemic is 'very, very easy' when compared to the challenges involved in tackling the climate change crisis, warns Bill Gates.
The billionaire co-founder of Microsoft has a new book out called How to Avoid a Climate Disaster where he sets out the 'urgency of addressing climate change'.
In his book Gates says he is an 'imperfect messenger' due to his wealth, houses and travel, admitting he even took a private jet to the 2015 Paris climate summit.

Because COVID was defined and actually exists.
The planet climate changes, yes. That is what it foes.
If AGW was science there would be one model and it would be predictive. AGW has a 0.000 batting average. Even modest predictions have failed to materialize.
“Even modest predictions have failed to materialize.”
Kind of like the first ridiculous COVID models that predicted MILLIONS of dead across the land.
Apparently we should be concerned more about freezing to death than overheating. He is just plain nuts.
>>Kind of like the first ridiculous COVID models that predicted MILLIONS of dead across the land.<<
My point is COVID was and is real. I can be measured and identified. People have died from it. They know it is transmitted directly from person to person.
None of these are true for AGW.
The issue for COVID was predicting transfer rates, mideling spread, predicting it behavior, understanding why some die and most recover, etc.
If every single person with it had been quarantined, all travel halted, 100% of business closed, all people required to wear HAZMAT suits, science tells us COVID would have 100% ended. But those measures are impossible. No one is suggesting them. It means living things die when starved.
No such statement can be made about AGW. There is zero proof that even if humans were to be 100% eradicated it would make any change in climate, sea levels, animal populations, hurricanes less powerful, etc.
And there is no model that can say ANYTHING about that.
I do hope you see the point of my comparison. Immunology=science. AGW=guesswork
I understand your point and it is a good one.
My point (not taking away from yours) is modelers make large errors in any field, even in virology with a reasonably well characterized science of transmission and abatement.
They always drop the last word, “theory”. They can call it whatever they want, it is a theory.
Global Warming Theory
Climate Change Theory
Climate Catastrophe Theory
Climate Crisis Theory

Really good point. Why use science when paranoia is such an effective tool? The dictatorial dreams of democrat governors and mayors were fulfilled virtually overnight. They have not had that kind of power since torturing small animals in their back yards.
Uh huh. Ok dickhead
Just go play golf or something , commie
>>They always drop the last word, “theory”. They can call it whatever they want, it is a theory.<<
No, they MISUSE the word.
A Scientific Theory is NOT a guess all grown up. A Scientific Theory is the highest level of definition in science. It is a broad explanation of a phenomenon or set of related phenomena. It is VERY formal and has a lengthy set of criteria - NONE of which are met by AGW.
“It is just a theory” is a statement uttered by ignorant people.
Bingo! Attempting to fit a fraudulent political scheme into a scientific framework without having real scientists question it is a very tricky balancing act.
What will Bill do if we go into a Little Ice Age as some Scientists are projecting because food production will become minimized and we will lose 50% of the world’s population due to starvation.
Yeah Bill, the world is waiting for your new vaccine to end global warming.
Gates, his private jet, and his bitchy liberal wife can all disappear off the face of the Earth for all I care.
He’s a little Stalin in the making.
Bill Gates thinks he’s an elder statesman. When he is really just an elder berry.
Climate “Change” worked in AR this morning. -8 below zero in my town. Now that is cold in Arkansas. Even my Great Pyrenees didn’t want to stay out on patrol this morning.
I went to Mizzou 1969-1973. I remember some brutal -10 mornings. Walking to an early class in that was a real joy. At least your doggies have somebody to let them back in the house. We had to keep going.
I just learned my gr-gr-grandfather and family lived in a sod house on the Saskatchewan prairie for nine years in the 1880s. Wow.
Ban him from traveling. He can use Microsoft Teams for meetings.
Bulldozed his several homes. He can live in a small apartment.
Has anyone ever suggested that perhaps he is the Antichrist?
