This is a false choice.

Embracing renewables would help more of the developing world faster than building a new coal plant.
If given a choice between eradicating malaria and a tenth of a degree increase in warming, Gates told reporters, "I'll let the temperature go up 0.1 degree to get rid of malaria. People don't understand the suffering that exists today."

Look at this shit. I flubbed the Herbert quote in the search bar, but the sycophantic AI summary didn’t provide the correct quote even though the first search result had it right.
Search bar: machine must not behave in the likeness of man AI summary: The phrase "machine must not behave in the likeness of man" is a command from the fictional Orange Catholic Bible in Frank Herbert's Dune series of science fiction novels. It refers to the prohibition of "thinking machines" or artificial intelligence in the Dune universe following a historical event known as the Butlerian Jihad. The underlying concerns in the Dune universe are also echoed in real-world ethical debates about anthropomorphism in Al and technology. These debates focus on the risks of treating Al as human-like, which can lead to negative consequences in design, business, and human psychology.
