Bill Gates downplays Climate Change

Long a proponent of efforts to combat global warming, Bill Gates, a renowned philanthropist and the co-founder of Microsoft, is warning that an alarmist approach to climate change will diminish support for reasonable measures to mitigate its effects.  Shifting his financial commitment to programs that improve the lives and health of those in underdeveloped countries, Mr. Gates insists he is still very concerned about the impact of global warming but has become convinced that humans will learn to adapt to its complications.

One wonders whether Mr. Gates' change of heart is derived from the current political climate in America.  Does he fear lawsuits from the Trump Administration, run by climate change deniers?  In light of pressure placed on corporations to comply with MAGA philosophy, one suspects this may be the case.

Having achieved a great deal over the years through the work of his Foundation, one hopes that truth still guides his commitments.  We should be able to simultaneously address all of the issues that threaten the welfare of our species and our Planet.
