Just the News: Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, said the coronavirus pandemic demonstrates that “simply shutting down” the U.S. economy won’t bring about net zero carbon emissions to fight climate change.
Gates said the emissions reductions from the pandemic were “quite modest,” despite the drastic drop in air travel and car travel.
“Simply shutting down is not going to get to our goal, so just as we need breakthrough innovation for COVID-19, we also need that to get rid of emissions from all the different sectors and bring down climate change,” Gates said during the annual meeting for the National Academy of Medicine. “This crosses many areas — how we make electricity, how we make industrial products, grow food, cool our buildings and all of transportation.”
Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, said the pandemic has taught humans a lot about climate change, emphasizing that decreased air and auto travel hasn’t made a huge impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions to zero. read more
And there is the REAL REASON.
DE-industrialization.
If Biden wins this puke will be heavily involved with the vaccine including the microchips to go with it.
Bill Gates…..PHUCK YOU….go back to your elite, pretentious, self-absorbing, arrogant, disgusting liberal life.
You are no longer needed, liked nor wanted.
Bill Gates could be a last minute stand in for Joe Biden. Gates just proved their is no correlation between money and intelligence.
Climate change is natural and mankind can have no significant effect on it.
Climate change totalitarianism, on the other hand, is real but unnatural, and we have solutions to that problem. At least we do here in the U.S. what with the 2nd Amendment and all.
Just not enough, have to go with my first plan of killing off 80% of the worlds population. That will save the planet.
Many know about the logical fallacy argumentum ab auctoritate, the argument from or appeal to authority. What we have here is an example of the fallacy argumentum ab divitiis.
Maybe he should just fix Windows before venturing into uncharted territory
And shutting down Gates’ mouth wouldn’t make up for all the shitty software he created.
Bill
The only thing that would help is to kill yourself.
Do it for Mankind and planet Earth.
What’s this “we” shit, Billy?
Evil scumbag needs to go visit Hoffa.
Hey Bill. When will you be moving out of your mansion ? I’m sure it is definitely causing a big carbon footprint
You have more money than you can ever spend so please just leave the rest of us alone
…here’s a thought.
How can “we” end the toxic emissions coming from Bill Gates’ mouth?
…the floor is open for suggestions…
We’re living at the pinnacle of human existence, (so far), with the highest standard of living and fantastic medicines to keep us healthy. Quality of life has never been better. So these ignorant super rich socialists want to tear it all down for a fairy tale based on absolutely no evidence. None of the climate predictions of the past 40 years both cooling and warming have come true. Gates is much more evil than the Hannibal Lecter character considering the misery and death that would result from his “solutions”.
According to the old swinging Gate we need to reduce humans down to zero in order to reduce carbon emissions down to zero! The old zero sum game!
The more Bill Gates opens his yapper the closer he is to self-cancellation.
Nuclear power (preferably Thorium Molten Salt) is the solution, but everyone panicked after 3 Mile Island and Chernoble.
If the original molten salt reactor experiment had continued past the 1960’s (Thanks for killing it Tricky Dick Nixon) we would all be thriving in almost free electric energy worldwide and all of the atomic waste left over from the first generation fusion reators and bombs would just about be used up.

Said the man who built a 66,000 square foot house in Medina on Lk Washington, for which this year’s real estate taxes were north of $1.4 millions on the property’s value of $147,500,000.00
66,000 square feet. Enough room for 23, 3000 sf homes. 1 house for two people and children home for Christmas vacation.
Self-awareness about “climate change” among people like him is rare. Every single one of the most ardent climate conspiracy theorists lives in an unsustainable home, the size of which is directly proportionate to the size of their microphone and the length of their harangue.
So shut down of major emissions from travel had no big impact? Kinda seems like it shows us humans aren’t driving all that global warming, one could argue…
His heads so far up his ass that nitro couldn’t blast it out.
And here I thought at 63 years of age I pretty much knew what was good for me. Hmmmm, guess I need to rethink things. Ah, fuck it! Too late now!
De-industrialization is just the prelude to the ultimate objective of de-population.
he is as bad as Homobama buying a house right on the water in the wealthiest town in America and then lecturing on the “rising seas”
Remember how we laughed and laughed at AOC for wanting to ban airplanes? I shudder to think what genius Gates thinks about cow farts.
How about we just shut YOU down Mr. Gates?
Man-made “climate change” would disappear overnight.
The general opinion about Bill Gates among people we know in high tech, including Mr Illustr8r, is that Microsoft lifts ideas from other companies (Apple), isn’t innovative, they buy what they can’t create or compete with, then screw up what worked or disappear it entirely.
Bill’s not the guy I want in charge of my healthcare or near this country’s economy.
I other words, Gates would like the world population decreased by 50-80%, so that the enlightened wealthy could have just enough servants to satisfy their needs without the unwashed masses depleting the worlds resources. I despise him and the enlightened wealthy friends of bill.
This coming from a ex-felon who developed a GUI and then had people write viruses for it so he could then sell the anti-virus software to them.
Shit heads like Gates want to rule the world. Now that they know how submissive most people are, nothing will stop them.
Why to people think that a computer nerd is an expert on healthcare and the environment?
@Uncle Al (at 7:35 pm): More like argumentum ab culus.
🙂
I fart in Gate’s general direction.
Shutting down Bill Gates would be an excellent start
Makes me want to buy a second laptop, scrub all Windows from it, and download Linux OS. (But I’m gonna need some help). Then transfer all my stuff from my first laptop (Win10), then convert that one to Linux (again, I’m gonna need help).
STFU, Bill.
On the road to the new world order march to global government and a feudalism…
Maybe Gates will do us all a favor and die in his sleep. Tonight.
Wouldn’t it be great to watch Bill Gates wake up one morning to find every penny he had disappeared?
OK smot guy … explain the Penultimate Glacial Period, the Last Glacial Maximum, and the Medieval Warming Period in terms of industrialization.
What? Never heard of em? Maybe you ain’t so smot as you think?
Ax them computer-modeling yokels you hire.
Everybody out here in flyover country laughs about this shit all the time!
You fukkin smot guys are all morons! Probably comes from surrounding yourselves with paid yes-men stooges who are too scared to tell you the facts.
izlamo delenda est …
From what Gates says there is but a small step to seriously consider even more drastic population controls well beyond abortion. Like, fr’instance, eliminating the feeble minded, incurables, older WHITE MEN, and other undesirables. It’s post birth abortion carried to its logical but terrible outcome.
Yes, we billions of humans are all super guilty of damage to mother earth. We are all to be blamed for our insatiable appetites for more of everything, especially things that consume fuels, which is just about everything.
