Bill Gates, who is worth an estimated $7 billion, recently seemed to backtrack on some of his prior statements about climate change.
“There’s a lot of climate exaggeration,” said Gates at a recent event. “The climate is not the end of the planet. So the planet is going to be fine.”
Gates made the remark at the Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit, which was also attended by billionaire Michael Bloomberg and British Prince William.
A few days later, at a New York Times event, he made a similarly climate-related remark. As Gates put it, “there are effects on humanity, the planet less so,” and “no temperate country is going to become uninhabitable.”
Gates added at the NY Times event that if world leaders are going to implement climate polices, it cannot be achieved by using “brute force.”
