Bill Gates Says Climate Change Won’t Destroy Humanity

Tech billionaire pivots away from climate alarmism, says poverty and disease are greater global threats.

After years of leading the climate crusade, Bill Gates has finally pumped the brakes on environmental doomsday hysteria. In a striking departure from his usual rhetoric, the Microsoft co-founder admitted this week that climate change will not bring about the end of humanity a refreshing moment of candor in a world obsessed with fear-driven narratives.

In a 17-page memo titled “Three Tough Truths About Climate”, Gates argues that while climate change remains a serious issue, it doesn’t rank as the top global crisis. Disease, poverty, and other harsh realities particularly in the world’s poorest countries should take precedence.

“Although climate change will have serious consequences particularly for people in the poorest countries it will not lead to humanity’s demise,” Gates wrote. “This is a chance to refocus on the metric that should count even more than emissions and temperature change: improving lives.”

It’s a far cry from the climate panic that has dominated elite circles for decades and a significant walk-back from the same billionaire who poured hundreds of millions into green energy startups and carbon capture technologies.

Key Points from Gates’ Climate Memo:

  • Climate change is not the existential threat it’s made out to be, particularly when compared to more immediate issues like disease and extreme poverty.

  • Poor countries face greater and more urgent threats than rising temperatures threats that won’t be solved by carbon offsets or UN talking points.

  • Gates now wants funding and innovation redirected toward life-improving measures, not just emissions reduction.

“If you think climate is not important, you won’t agree with the memo. If you think climate is the only cause and apocalyptic, you won’t agree with the memo,” Gates told reporters, acknowledging the memo won't please the extremes on either side.

Translation? Gates is finally saying what conservatives have known for years: the climate obsession pushed by global elites has distracted from the real crises facing millions of people especially in places where clean water, medicine, and food security are far more urgent than the latest IPCC report.

For years, the global left has used climate fear as a political tool to justify radical policies from restricting agriculture to banning gas-powered vehicles and forcing ESG standards on businesses. All while jet-setting across the globe and buying up farmland.

But even Gates now admits the climate narrative is out of proportion. And when one of the movement’s biggest funders starts calling for a reality check, it’s time the rest of the world listens.

Meanwhile, President Biden continues to pour billions into green slush funds, climate czars, and UN climate summits while American families struggle with inflation, crumbling infrastructure, and a southern border in chaos.

It’s time we reprioritize. The planet isn’t ending. But lives are, every day, due to policies that ignore the actual needs of real people.
