Bill Gates has chosen a new crisis

The billionaire is making headlines for admitting that changes in the weather “will not lead to humanity’s demise.” For 20 years, he and his foundation have used “global warming” and then “climate change” to advocate for draconian industrial and social changes in America and other advanced nations. But his new 17-page memo, released October 28, has suddenly swapped out crises. “The metric that should count even more than emissions and temperature change [is] improving lives,” the memo states. “Our chief goal should be to prevent suffering, particularly for those in the toughest conditions who live in the world’s poorest countries.” Gates’s drastic de-emphasis of climate change as it has fallen out of favor is yet another piece of evidence that climate change was a hoax that was adopted to advance radical policies.
