Billionaire Bill Gates has dramatically changed his position on climate change, acknowledging for this first time there is no “doomsday” risk from global warming.
In a memo published by Gates Notes Monday night, the Microsoft co-founder, who has poured billions into combating global warming, urged a move away from what he called a "doomsday outlook" and toward improving living conditions in developing nations.
"Although climate change will have serious consequences — particularly for people in the poorest countries — it will not lead to humanity's demise," Gates wrote. "People will be able to live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future."
The 70-year-old philanthropist's statement marks a notable reversal from his 2021 book, "How to Avoid a Climate Disaster."
The essay came a week before the U.N. COP30 climate summit in Brazil. Gates said he will not attend this year's event and instead wants to emphasize global health, poverty, and resilience.
In his memo, Gates argued that climate change is "serious" but that governments and philanthropists must balance environmental goals with investments that help people adapt.
"We can't cut funding for health and development — programs that help people stay resilient in the face of climate change — to do it," he wrote. "It's time to put human welfare at the center of our climate strategies."
The new memo coincides with major changes in Gates' climate ventures.

What a Great Guy!
So the Gateshog came out of the bunker and saw his shadow, and decided we need MORE ENERGY to run the AI farms.
And Windows still sucks.
Translation: the “donations” for doomsday warmageddon are no longer coming in.
When in the existence of this planer has the climate not changed?
Why do the rich, along with Hollywood celebrities, always believe their success in their area of expertise qualifies them as experts in all fields of human endeavor? I believe the opposite to usually be the case.
Arrogance.
WEF just had a stake drove thru them.
They are dead for now.
Musk is installing new gas turbines that will power his AI server farm.
Gates must have finally gotten a hold of a copy of “the Skeptical Environmentalist” by Lomborg.
For NOW, however, they’ll be back, ... soon.

When/where did Gates say that the human population must be reduced by 95%? Direct sourced quote.
I think Gates got an idea of what a mob of 100,000 unnecessary Humans would do to him if they correctly understood his plan.
Gates was never stupid enough to say he wanted to kill 95% of the population.
He just supports policies that will get it done.
Do the guys still trust you?
Cue all the hate and death threats he isn’t going to get.

So, all either one of you have is unsupported allegations?

Please define the policies that will result in 95% reduction in human population that Gates supports.
My pleasure.
Gates wants:
—Mandatory vaccination of dangerous and unproven vaccines all over the Third World.
—Massive reductions in use of fossil fuels—which could kill billions as they starve and freeze in the dark
Here is his infamous Ted Talk from 2010:

Read the article. Gates changed his position on fossil fuels.
You’ve provided no proof that those vaccines are dangerous or unproven.
The burden of proof lies with those who claim various vaccines are safe and effective.
The best way to improve public health in the third world is to improve sanitary conditions.
That is not very glamorous—but it works.

The onus is on you to support your that vaccines are dangerous.
cgbg wrote: “The best way to improve public health in the third world is to improve sanitary conditions.”
This isn’t an either/or. Improved sanitary conditions are import. Clean water is important. Vaccinations are important. The best way to improve public health in the third world is ‘all of the above’.
