“Well, I buy the gold standard of, funding Climeworks, to do direct air capture that far exceeds my family’s carbon footprint,” the Microsoft co-founder, being interviewed in Kenya, replied.

In an earlier era, he'd have bought papal dispensations which allowed him to do whatever he pleased, guilt free. This is what wealthy and powerful hypocrites have done throughout history.

Oh, my! He really IS better than all of us! /s

Translation: “I have a lot of money, so I can spend my money however I want to, because I have a lot of it. You peasants can eat bugs.”

[bray]

He uses more CO2 than a thousand families he lectures.

[ArtDodger]

He doesn’t see it as hypocrisy. How convenient..

[woodbutcher1963]

Now they buy timberlands and not cut the trees down.

[Starboard]

The elites love their private jets.

[Jhadur]

I’d say it’s because he’s afraid. He needs to made more afraid...much more.

[ProudDeplorable]

So rather than setting an example, he decides to buy a pass that allows him to do whatever the f@#& he wants. Great role model.

If ever there was a man that needed to meet “karma”, it’s this hypocritical, no-good, evil SOB....hope his jet crashes into a CCP balloon with him in it.
The POS can take his jet and go pound it up his gay little anal cavity.....sideways.

They want to take away our gas stoves. I say we take away their private jets. Lets get them outlawed for use in the U.S. as well as banned from entering the country from the rest of the world.

The answer is to BAN the Purchase of Jet Fuel for Non Public Transportation

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Be a shame if one of those surface-to-air missiles Brandon left behind in Afghanistan fell into the wrong hands.

[Tell It Right]

In the warmageddon cult, giving money to groups like Climeworks is the equivalent of paying penance to avoid purgatory.

Every time a coin in the coffers rings the person from regulations springs.

[Avalon Memories]

Does anyone know what he means by “direct air capture?” I kinda thought we all do that simply by breathing. How silly of me.

[JBW1949]

Why don’t you go to China and talk about their emissions???

Why don’t you go to India and talk about their emissions???

[glorgau]

He’s saying that his sins are forgiven for indulgences to the church.

[jeffersondem]

If there was any doubt, this interview confirms Bill Gates is not a man of substance.

He has a lot of money for sure, but he is hollow inside. And with a small soul.

[lowbridge]

“am I not part of the problem by paying for the offsets”

You’re a moron paying for a scam. Paying for “offsets” do zilch.
