Bill Gates: Climate change is a crisis, but not such a bad crisis that anyone should stop flying Gulfstreams

Happy World Immunization Day to those who celebrate (not to be confused with World Immunization Week, which WHO says is the last week of April). Let’s turn our attention on this sacred day to one of the world’s leading vaccine scientists and covidologists: Bill Gates. From the World Economic Forum, April 2020:

“Because our foundation has such deep expertise in infectious diseases, we’ve thought about the epidemic, we did fund some things to be more prepared, like a vaccine effort,” Gates said. “Our early money can accelerate things.”

It turns out that Prof. Dr. Bill Gates, M.D., Ph.D., also owns a company that fuels Gulfstreams (WSJ):

Also, “Bill Gates shifts tone on climate, criticizes “doomsday view,” drawing mixed reaction” (CBS):

In a memo posted online, Gates wrote that while climate change is still a major problem that needs to be solved, “People will be able to live and thrive on Earth for the foreseeable future.” Gates, who has invested billions developing green technologies to cut greenhouse gases, says doomsday climate scenarios over-emphasize cutting emissions while “diverting resources from the most effective things we should be doing to improve life in a warming world.”

Is it possible that Bill Gates has personally done more to accelerate climate change than any other human? He and his wife-turned-plaintiff have worked tirelessly for 25 years to accelerate human population growth. And Bill Gates will continue to try to maximize the number of humans emitting CO2 on this planet, says CBS:

The lengthy memo essentially argued that we should continue to innovate and back climate breakthroughs but not at the expense of funding for global health or development — “programs that help people stay resilient in the face of climate change.” He argued for putting “human welfare at the center of our climate strategies,” including improving health and agriculture in the world’s poorest countries.

It’s human “development” that got us into this climate change mess, right?

So… climate change is a crisis, but it isn’t such a bad crisis that anyone should stop flying Gulfstreams or suspend efforts to increase human population.

  1. Climate change was a crisis when Silicon Valley was investing in electric cars and smart homes.

    Climate change stopped being a crisis when Silicon Valley shifted to building colossal data centers.

  2. “As I thought about strong women of history, I realized that they stepped out in some way.” — M. French Gates

    “Every company needs technology, and yet we’re graduating fewer women technologists. That is not good for society. We have to change it.” — M. French Gates

    At least Billinda offset their Malthusian population growth efforts through condom advocacy:

    Now back to being a 1/4X male technologist.

    P.S. Anyone else notice that Paula Hurd, Bill Gates’ girlfriend is plug-and-play identical to Melinda? Damn, if I had that much money, old geezer or not, I hope I would be dating someone like Jutta Leerdam:
