Last Tuesday, as the strongest Atlantic storm in 90 years slammed the western coast of Jamaica with 185-mph winds, Bill Gates was downplaying climate change.
The billionaire does not appear to have publicly addressed the disaster in Jamaica, which extended throughout the Caribbean, with Melissa having killed dozens across Cuba, Haiti, the Bahamas, and the Dominican Republic. And his overall point, frankly, does not hold up to scrutiny.
Gates isn’t alone; climate change has slipped down the world’s priority list in the past few years—and it shows. Governments and corporations are shelving emissions goals, budgets are being redirected from climate initiatives to warfare, the media is pivoting away from climate journalism, and even activists are urging a softer, more “hopeful” tone. It all signals a vibe shift in how we talk about climate change, reframing it from the existential risk it actually poses to a less urgent, peripheral issue—even as the floodwaters reach our front doors.
He should only take advice from Balmer. And to be clear, the cocaine Balmer.
Bill Gates is a monopolist whose shady business practices in the 90s and 2000s make him a very evil man.
All billionaires are inherently evil by their own nature. Unless they literally won the lottery with take home $1 billion.
To become a billionaire you have to do some dark Machiavellian deeds whether by exteeme exploitation of human labour or manipulation of the most unethical proportions. A billion in wealth is something quite unimaginable before the 20th century, and the means to obtain that level of wealth in history has always been dark and dirty.
This is libelous. His business practices were also shady in the '70s and '80s.
Nah, not respectfully, bill Gates is a piece of shit who has spent millions in charities to pretend he’s a nice guy.
I too can pretend to be really nice by slamming millions around even though I have acted like a shit stain before.
i once tried to question him when he did an AMA like a decade ago, the mods/filters dint allow it though,specifically about him money laundering.
For a billionaire he is pretty nice. Which only makes him an absolute piece of shit.
By all means do so then, please. An asshole spending millions on charity helps way more people than a nice guy receiving government aid.
A guy receiving government aid has a MUCH smaller climate footprint than this asshole.
And a car has a smaller climate footprint than a ship transporting solar panels, or the factory producing them. What is your point?
Lol Bill Gates now openly towing the WEF propaganda line which KurzGesagt produced for him earlier. This is so expected.

Ladies and gentlemen and others, this is what they call “the good billionaire”!
Irrespectfully most tech moguls need to shut the fuck up, especially about shit that has nothing to do with tech
he was always known to be ruthless during his ceo days, his current image is trying to reinvent, and also to soften the blow of him being associated with epstein.
This does have to do with tech because the firm he founded is knee deep in the AI bullshit which is burning energy at an incredible rate.
He is getting old and confused, obviously.
High-school dropout nepo-baby Bill Gates? That one?
TBF, he dropped out of Harvard.
The guy that stole IBMs UI setup and made Windows?
Xerox’s
Respectfully, Bill Gates is a piece of shit.
Disrespectfully, Bill Gates needs to shut the fuck up
Why respectfully? Who has Bill Gates shown actual respect for?
Jeffrey Epstein?
ok good point
Epstein, from who melinda seperated from when she found out. his "current entrepuenership, was nothing more than money laundering and reinventing his own image from his MS ceo/epstein days, he did not charity by accident/genuine. plus he was criticized for his “vaccine colonialism” during covid by african countries.
Yeah. Shut the fuck up, Bill.
Might I add, also disrespectfully.
I wish someone could just start removing problems for us.
No respect needed.
All due can be 0
Gates does not need to “shut up”. He needs to testify as to what his relationship is with Epstein.
Quiet, you fool! Don’t antagonize him. You think all that Windows AI is out there for our benefit? Oh no, it’s there for Bill to press the button and blue screen the world. And don’t tell me Linux users are safe; that’s what the assassination squads are for.
