Bill Gates on Friday told his fellow billionaires that more needed to be done to combat climate change during an address at the annual Sun Valley conference in Idaho.

With many of his fellow captains of industry, entertainment and technology having flown in by private jet, Gates told them the problem was real.

The busy private jet traffic on Tuesday saw the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration bring in restrictions on air traffic control, temporarily banning other planes from the country's West Coast to as far as Michigan and Canada from departing.

They purchased offsets.
And personally directed their groundskeepers to plant a commemorative tree.
Gaea te absolvo.

Bitingly good.

I hated having to miss this year. I just felt it was not a good idea to attend seeing how I was a few billion dollars short and did not have time to get my change counted out at the machine in the grocery store. You can imagine my consternation. No money for Sun Valley. No money for a Congress critter of my very own. No money for a Furstenburg gown. Poverty really does suck.

Surprise! Leftist billionaires have utter contempt and hate for the common man, just like the kings, queens and nobles of old.

Meanwhile the worker bees of Ketchum have been forced out of the once “affordable” housing by the wealthy Californicators gobbling up every single plot of dirt, run down house, and rental property. They are living in tents and cars. But not to worry. Bill Gates will save them from global warming. Or climate change. Or whatever they will call it now.

Funny you should mention crimes against humanity.

A woman who is a member of the Italian parliament wants Bill Gates to be charged with crimes against humanity because of the great harm caused by his vaccines in India and Africa.

My carbon footprint in a month wouldn’t equal one day of theirs. The a/c is off and the windows are open. There is one plant light using power, this computer, the fridge, the freezer and whatever turned off but plugged in appliances are pulling.

Wait till they meet the true Master.

House down the street from me in little ol’ Dickinson TX just sold for 25 grand over asking. Soon as I get my house renovation from the Valentines Freeze, thank God for insurance I’m downsizing to a steel building next to our barn.

What is the point of being a billionaire if you can’t order other people around and hire public relations experts to cover up your hypocrisy?

Rickefeller and Morgan never really told my grear grandparents how to live. The is moving America toward the setting of that adolescent dystopia that was The Hinger Games.
