While I believe that Bill Gates deserves high praise for his sustained commitment to protecting public health, I agree with @michaelemann.bsky.social that he is failing to understand that we must—and can—rapidly quit fossil fuels while addressing illness and poverty. @docsforclimate.bsky.social
You can’t reboot the planet if you crash it
What Gates is putting forward aren’t legitimate arguments that can be made in good faith. They are shopworn fossil fuel industry talking points.
