Bill Gates: 'Shutting down' economy 'nowhere near sufficient' to stop climate change

This guy is a piece of work. He doesn't care about the people who get hurt by his crazy ideas.

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.

Go to one of his mansions and see much electricity he uses to heat just one of his pools, yearly.
You could power a dozen houses.

If we don't stop these loons here, it's over.

Bill and Melinda Gates are full blown Globalist People Manipulators.

When COVID runs it course they will try and shift us into a wave of Global Warming Panic to redistribute wealth not already theirs. The vast majority of Americans forced to live like dirt poor to make his vision come true.

Why operate under the old fashion premise, "What's mine is mine, and what's yours is negotiable", when you can get greater return under the new and improved, "What's mine is mine, and what's yours is also mine."

You have to have a sociopathic mind for monopoly, you see.

Gates has had a captive audience for so long, he probably has great distaste for actual markets of ideas and products.

Bill Gates should turn over all his wealth for climate change if he wants anyone to listen to his insanity

Unfortunately, those listening to him are those in a position to make his ideas come alive.

As is the case with so many liberals, the operative principle is this: Do as I say, not as I do.
