If you have heard about Bill Gates’s climate change letter you may have noticed it’s being used as a weapon by both sides. I read this summary article, and I think it’s an excellent appraisal of not just Gates position but of the climate change industry (haddad is an industry) as a whole.

This is truly fantastic.

According to Pielke, this means the narrative will likely shift: from purely "are we saving the planet or not?" to "how can we make people much better while also limiting/dealing with global warming?"  


De timing is perfect because food now comes with a carbon score:





What you can measure, you can control.

Food now comes with a carbon score—and, paired with digital ID, it’s the perfect on-ramp to behavioral control. From bank “footprint” dashboards to elite carbon offsets, we map how measurement becomes management, nudging toward a two-tier system where compliance is rewarded and resistance is penalized.

You cant tank Bill Gates enough for his efforts to limit your freedom.(For your own well-being of course and safety.)
Remember during the COVID period, those who didn't want an injection were the ones to blame?
Don't let them talk you into a climate disaster and an electronic identity card that they can use to monitor and control every aspect of your life.

 Save A Tree !!!!

 Use A PLASTIC Bag !!!

Calling it a "challenge" does not make it less deadly.

 True.  But the fact that it is less deadly is why it is called a challenge.  

 I'm far from a Gates fan but his 3 Truths in this case are very accurate.  Climate change won't end humans in the next decade.  Many models predicted billions dead 10 years ago, so just the global population alone should be evidence.

 Temperature is not the only way to measure climate.

 Health and prosperity do more good for longer periods of time than tax credits and carbon scores.  

 Challenging but not imminently deadly.

But ultimately deadly for MOST of the population. And unregulated capitalism is to blame.

 I think that's Gates point, rising temperature is not as deadly to the 3rd world as previously calculated.  Most of Africa and middle South America should be uninhabitable by now if we used the 1990's models.

The US DOES have heat related deaths. Every year. They are rising.

We have widespread use of air conditioning. No one is dying directly due to a 1 degree change. While  there are clear statistics that show more people die during heat waves now than in 1999 for example, but that’s not due to 1° heat increase. There are likely numerous other factors such as people live longer and are more susceptible, more people live in the cities, you could even dig into the fact that far more elderly people are on their own today than in the past.

This phrase comes to mind:: causation does not equal correlation

And again, any heat related deaths due to temperature increase would be offset many times over due to fewer cold related deaths.
