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.

You have wilfully misrepresented what he actually said.

He was proposing a more pragmatic approach to global warming, weighing it up against other threats to humanity. For example, given the choice between eradicating malaria and allowing temperatures to rise by 0.1°C, he would choose the latter.

That in no way implies a downgrading in the severity of climate change.

Why is he seeking a more pragmatic approach? Because there is now so little money designated for climate change mitigation and it has to stretch further than ever before.
