How Bill Gates is playing both sides of the climate crisis – video
Think Bill Gates is fixing the climate crisis? Not if you follow the money. While he funds green innovation and talks about cutting emissions, Gates also invests in dirty industries such as coal, oil and private jets. In this episode, Neelam Tailor exposes how one of the world’s most powerful climate voices is betting on both sides of the crisis – and making a lot of money in the process
Both? Both sides? Both sides of the climate crisis? My dudes, nobody gets to go live on the Sun under its protection, not even with all the money. There's one side to the climate crisis, and we're all on it.
Oh, I see. He's making money pretending to invest in green technologies, and he's making money polluting the environment. That's the "both sides" they meant. Except those two industries are still both on the same side of the equation. It's like we're all on the Titanic, and Gates is spreading towels over deck chairs AND sitting at a table by the bar, like "Oh no! A guy with all the money is being greedy and dishonest. What should we do?"
Not quite. When you're very rich, you can live the rest of your life in comfort. You and your children won't feel the effects of climate change.
Depends on the severity and the speed of the collapse, but point taken.
