Bill Gates changes mind on Global Warming.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, who has spent more than a decade warning that the world was on the brink of unimaginable peril due to rising global temperatures, now says climate change “will not lead to humanity’s demise” in a stunning reversal.

Gates, 70, who has sunk billions of his vast fortune into initiatives ostensibly meant to combat global warming, penned a lengthy blog post this week urging a shift away from the “doomsday outlook” many climate activists have adopted to terrify nonbelievers into seeing things their way.

Democrats were ready to bankrupt the world over global warming.

Astonishingly, Gates goes so far as to point out that cold — not heat — is a far greater threat to humanity, writing, “surprisingly, excessive cold is far deadlier, killing nearly ten times more people every year than heat does.”

He even noted some of the ways the obsessive focus on lowering greenhouse gas emissions has negatively impacted the very groups climate alarmists have warned would suffer most due to rising global temperatures.

This is true. The alarmists have kept poor countries from developing gas and coal power plants, that have
kept their countries from prospering and progressing into the future.

@DogMan I know, right? Because burning semi-fossilized wood seems like such an efficient way to power a country without hurting anyone.

@ItsMeMorgue Correct, so they won't freeze to death in the winter.

@DogMan Sorry. I reacted to the wrong BS statement. So, your position is that it's healthy and okay to breathe in some of the filthiest smoke humans have ever generated in order not to freeze to death?

So you are ok with not allowing CNG powered furnaces so people freeze to death? Would you rather have them
build little wood fires in their home?

You know some people believe we should kill off enough people, so that others may live. Are you in that camp?

@DogMan I'm not going to respond to you if you're not going to answer my question. You're avoiding my question and throwing out a question that makes it sound like I'm in favor of murder. That's a dishonest tactic and I will not engage it.

@ItsMeMorgue I'm sorry, I forgot that I need to treat you special, and do everything I can to keep from
triggering you. No one mentioned Trump, but I see above that you brought your TDS out into the open.

I will refrain from using the T word, as I don't want to upset you.

I'm leaving the office now to head to Utah for a long weekend of riding, take care.

I didn't realize using common courtesy and honest debate tactics was "treating me special".

I'll ask it again, since your attention span seems to be tragically short.

Are you in favor of polluting the air with toxic particles that will eventually kill us just so that people won't be cold in the winter, when there are better ways of keeping people warm? Yes or no?

I will refrain from using the T word, as I don't want to upset you.
Who, the guy who keeps passing executive orders intended to erase the T in the LGBT, whom we all know is coming for the rest of us? That guy? No, the fact that you blatantly kiss his ring doesn't upset me.

Your conclusions would only make sense if heat and cold were the only causes of death among humans. Since that's absolutely NOT the case, let's look at what actually kills humans.

#1 is heart disease; extremes of both heat and cold exacerbate heart disease; for example heat causes the heart to pump faster and harder to cool the body, while cold can constrict blood vessels raising blood pressure.

#2 is stroke, with the same heat and cold effects as #1.

#3 is lower respiratory infections. And that's where mosquitoes enter the conversation. The mosquito is far and away the world's deadliest animal due to the diseases it carries.

So how does global warming affect mosquito habitat and activity? It extends their geographic range and gives them better habitats due to increased average rainfall. And it extends their season because temps need to fall below 50°F to inhibit their activity.

In short, warming increases human deaths thru increased mosquito habitat and activity period.

@ElwoodBlues Wasn't it the environmental left that stopped the killing of mosquitos?
@DogMan No. You've got that backwards.

The environmental left is trying to protect predators of mosquitoes, such as certain birds and fish.

Yeah, I know, you thought you were making a joke, but instead you got it 100% backwards🤣😂
DogMan · 61-69, M
@ElwoodBlues Oh I think it was. So are you figuring out a way to cool the earth so those pesky skeeters stay south
of the border?

Not too cool, OK
@DogMan says
Oh I think it was.
Then surely you can link us to a news report in support of your claim🤣😂

So are you figuring out a way to cool the earth so those pesky skeeters stay south of the border?
Environmentalists are trying to protect predators of mosquitoes, such as certain species of birds bats and fish. There was also research about releasing sterile mosquitoes but I think your orange pedophile may have cut the funding for it. SAD!!

@ElwoodBlues Environmentalists to stop the killing of Mosquitos
Environmentalists are advocating against the killing of mosquitoes due to the potential ecological and ethical implications. They argue that the removal of mosquitoes could disrupt ecosystems, impact vital processes like pollination and food webs, and lead to biodiversity loss. Mosquitoes play essential roles in the food chain, providing sustenance for fish, predatory insects, and filter feeders. The removal of mosquitoes could necessitate dietary shifts for numerous fish species, potentially causing ecological ripple effects.
@DogMan That's about eradicating entire species. Not the same thing as reducing populations.

Oh gee, you THINK?
@DogMan tRump & JFK Jr halted multi-year medical studies that were already in progress, wasting years of prior funding. Plus, future researchers are funded thru grad school as research assistants. Cutting funding for research thus also reduces the pool of future research scientists.

Between February and August 2025,
The National Institutes of Health has canceled funding for at least 383 clinical trials in the last year, affecting some 74,000 participants.

Sickle cell disease, sleep disorders and lung cancer: these are just a few of the medical issues that were under investigation in at least 383 clinical trials that have had research grants terminated by the National Institutes of Health since February.

That’s about 1 in 30 of all the clinical trials—tests of medical interventions in human volunteers—funded by the federal agency ...

@DogMan Lemme know when you have evidence against me. Meawhile.

He just might be a pedophile if ...




... He told Howard Stern during a radio interview that his lower age limit for a sex partner was "above 12";
... He invited a notorious pedophile to his wedding;
... He bragged about barging in on undressed teen pageant contestants;
... Katie Johnson says she was 13 when raped by him;
... He suggested his 16 year old daughter was so "hot" he'd be dating her if not related;
... His 17 year old daughter told him he couldn't "date" anyone younger than herself;
... His admin is trying to overturn the law requiring clergy to report child sexual abuse;
... He refers to a visit to Pedo Island as "a privilege"
... It took 1000 FBI agents working in shifts for three weeks to redact all mentions of him from the Epstein files
... He sent a birthday card to a notorious pedophile mentioning "wonderful secrets"

tRump brags about barging in on undressed teen beauty contestants

Responded Trump: “Is everyone OK? You know they're standing there with no clothes. And you see these incredible looking women. And so I sort of get away with things like that.”

Tasha Dixon, Miss Arizona 2001, told CBS 2 Los Angeles that Trump — now the GOP presidential nominee — just came “waltzing in” while contestants were nude or half-nude as they changed into bikinis.

... Dixon described her experience with Trump as a contestant that year in a dressing room where she and others were changing into bikinis:

“He just came strolling right in. There was no second to put a robe on or any sort of clothing or anything. Some girls were topless. Other girls were naked.

“Our first introduction to him was when we were at the dress rehearsal and half-naked changing into our bikinis.

@ElwoodBlues Well, if @DogMan doesn't need evidence to say it about you, we should start saying it about him.
