"Are you following the science now that Bill Gates has declared CO2 NOT to be a global threat? Oh, they didn't mention that on CNN and MSNBC, did they"

Maybe because that's not what he said.

Bill Gates said climate change 'will not lead to humanity's demise'?

...Some users argued that Gates' memo indicated a softening on his stance on climate change. Gates wrote:

I know that some climate advocates will disagree with me, call me a hypocrite because of my own carbon footprint (which I fully offset with legitimate carbon credits), or see this as a sneaky way of arguing that we shouldn't take climate change seriously.

To be clear: Climate change is a very important problem. It needs to be solved, along with other problems like malaria and malnutrition. Every tenth of a degree of heating that we prevent is hugely beneficial because a stable climate makes it easier to improve people's lives.

Rat thinks it will worsen both malaria and malnutrition. It won't be the end of humanity, but it's been the end of many civilizations. Why should this time be any different?
