Bill Gates said what? Cue David Bowie - Changes.
After all the existential threats of climate change, the rising oceans and seas, if not for the reduction of carbon emissions would result in the end of times, Bill Gates has his SNL Emily Litella moment, NEVER MIND! .As reported at Fox News, Bill Gates makes a change in his 'Climate change' strategy by shifting the focus away from reducing carbon emissions to fighting poverty and preventing disease and hunger.
Bill Gates is calling for a change in the fight against climate change by shifting the focus away from reducing carbon emissions to fighting poverty and preventing disease and hunger.
In an essay published Monday, Gates, who has long pushed for policies to limit the rise in temperatures, said resources should be diverted to improve life in warming parts of the world and improving the lives of people there.
"Climate change, disease, and poverty are all major problems," Gates wrote. "We should deal with them in proportion to the suffering they cause."
He noted that the global temperature doesn’t give insight about the quality of people’s lives.
"Although climate change will have serious consequences — particularly for people in the poorest countries — it will not lead to humanity’s demise," the Microsoft co-founder wrote.
