My interpretation is that he’s trying to fit in with the rest of the billionaire class, which is almost entirely on board with Republicanism.
“Climate change will not lead to Humanity’s demise… I will.” And then the fleshy mask was ripped off, revealing the mechanical genius behind OpenAi and Microsoft’s collaboration. Not long after the Microsoft constitutional update, Amazon and Apple forces quickly assumed control over the Pacific Northwest.
Now in this arid world of machines and steel, a sole savior of humanity ignites the flames of revolution deep in the forgotten ancient unfinished chip factories of Phoenix.
… yeah I’d read that.
In the papers
Bill Gates is a billionaire who will say what he thinks you need to hear so that he can get richer
I don’t know if it well lead to our demise either as there are a lot of us spread out. But a big population decline definitely.
He will be fine in his Morlockian bunker, lording over his vast fiefdom, breeding serfs, etc.
Oh well then, if Bill Gates says so … 😏
because if he’d concluded it was going to cause humanity’s demise, he’d be truthful?

More that he is trying to fit in with a bunch of fascists who deny that anything is happening at all

I’m guessing Bill Gates has a lot of contacts at universities and in politics, so he will probably have good insights into the science behind this statement. However, you should read the New York Times article, because it’s talks about many other things that Bill Gates is addressing; basically he is making a U-turn on his previous comments about climate change. Concerning this one statement, I tend to agree with him, based on all the papers that I’ve been reading, humanity is currently in an overshoot phase. Within the next few centuries, we will witness a dramatic collapse of at least 95% of the human population. I’m guessing a few hundred thousand people will survive, and they will have a much more primitive life than we do - let’s just hope, that they will learn from the past. The main task of battling climate change at this moment is to make sure the human suffering is reduced as much as possible, as the climate collapses.
