Bill Gates changes mind on Global Warming.

@ItsMeMorgue It's common knowledge. Google it, you will find a plethora of stories. Don't tell any Democrats,
they are pretending not to know about it

@DogMan So your source is "trust me bro".

@DogMan I love when the far right cites "common knowledge!" Clearly the OP did not actually read the statement or explanation, I did both that and a Google/AI:

Bill Gates' recent statements on climate change suggest a "strategic pivot" in the global approach, arguing that the focus on a "doomsday scenario" has diverted resources from other pressing issues like poverty and disease, especially in the poorest countries. He advocates for a shift to prioritizing human welfare, stating that the primary goal should be to prevent suffering and that climate solutions should be considered in the context of overall human welfare, even if it means not achieving all emissions goals in the short term.
Key arguments from Gates' statements
Shift focus from emissions to human welfare: Gates believes that climate change will not lead to the end of civilization and that the best way to measure progress is by improving human welfare, not just by reducing global temperatures.
Prevent suffering first: He argues that in the face of life-threatening issues like malaria and malnutrition, he would choose to eradicate a disease over a minor reduction in global temperature.
Critique of the "doomsday" narrative: Gates says this outlook has caused the climate community to over-focus on near-term emissions goals, diverting resources from the most effective actions that can improve lives in a warming world.
Climate action and poverty reduction are not mutually exclusive: While acknowledging the severe consequences of climate change, he argues that improving health and prosperity is the best defense against it.
Innovation and adaptation: He still supports climate innovation but believes that adaptation and resilient infrastructure are critical components of any effective climate strategy, especially in the most vulnerable regions.

@samueltyler2 Correct, we have been told for Decades that if we don't spend trillions of dollars, we are all going to die.

@DogMan You are going a little over the top! Those were never the actual words. There is no question that left to the curve we are on with climate change, there will be increasing number of unnecessary deaths. Some may be preventable or delayed by attacking the root causes of climate change, which is indisputably tied to some extent, to human activity. You also show your bias by stating we must spend trillions of dollars, although that may be true, it is over many years, and the economy actually will likely improve with such expenditures. We also must understand that fossil fuels are a finite resource, so we need to conserve it anyway.

@samueltyler2 I didn't say that we need to spend trillions. I don't want our Government to spends trillions.

Like Gates, I believe there are more important things. Let Gates and the private sector keep developing renewable
energy. They are doing a great job so far.

@DogMan Again, re-read Gates statement and the discussions about it. You probably also don't want the government to spend money to help provide medical care, clean water and air, should I go on?

@samueltyler2 Imagine that. A reich-whinger refusing to provide his source because he's twisted the words that were said.

@ItsMeMorgue choose your words carefully

@samueltyler2 I'm talking about dog boy, not you.

@ItsMeMorgue I understand that, but by responding the way the far right dies, you only feed into their frenzy. Just my opinion.

@samueltyler2 Well, you're certainly entitled to your opinion, but I've tried reasoning with these people, with real paragraphs and citations and everything, and they just treat me like I'm a useful іԁіоt of some radical left conspiracy.

@ItsMeMorgue if you attack them, they will attack you. Just my experience.

@samueltyler2 Oh, honey, I'm sure for most of your life, Republicans were kind of like wild animals, where they were respectful as long as you didn't threaten them, but now they're more like that scorpion in the story about the frog. No matter how nice you are to them, they'll sting you, even if it hurts them. It's in their nature.

@ItsMeMorgue they were always way out there. In college the young Republicans seemed more right than Attika the Hun.

@samueltyler2 So, the last generation of Young Republicans grew up and are now running the party, is what you're saying.

@ItsMeMorgue yes.
