I'm aware of all his points, having, unlike him, worked on climate for several decades.

This thread explains it all better than I could bsky.app/profile/keta...

TLTR: he is arguing against noone & simply wants more money for innovation when we can already do majority of work with electrification
notes on gatesnotes, in a thread

"A new way to look at the problem" - er, no, he's been running this line for DECADES

On the headline: you can absolutely guarantee anyone presenting themselves as telling tough, hard truths is about to deliver some self-aggrandising nonsense

My problem is summed up in this sentence:

"To be clear: Climate change is a very important problem. It needs to be solved, along with other problems like malaria and malnutrition"
