The following report is by CNBC:
Climate change is being fueled by the release of greenhouse gas emissions and those emissions are coming from every sector of the global economy: Electricity, manufacturing, transportation, agriculture, industrial processes. Collectively, greenhouse gas emissions have generally been climbing for decades. Activists often advocate using less and consuming less as one potential solution to climate change — degrowth, it’s often called.
This idea is quixotic, according to Bill Gates, who founded Breakthrough Energy, an investment fund for climate technology and innovation, in 2015 and published “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster” in 2021.
I don’t think it’s realistic to say that people are utterly going to change their lifestyle because of concerns about climate.
You can have a cultural revolution where you’re trying to throw everything up, you can create a North Korean-type situation where the state’s in control. Other than immense central authority to have people just obey, I think the collective action problem is just completely not solvable.
Gates said to Akshat Rathi in an episode of the Bloomberg podcast, “Zero,” which published on Thursday. The interview was recorded in August before the Inflation Reduction Act was passed.
Most individuals are not going to change their individual behavior in ways that make them less comfortable for the benefit of a global problem, the billionaire technologist said.
Anyone who says that we will tell people to stop eating meat, or stop wanting to have a nice house, and we’ll just basically change human desires, I think that that’s too difficult. You can make a case for it. But I don’t think it’s realistic for that to play an absolutely central role.
Gates said.
Even if those countries and individuals who have enough abundance in their life and are able to cut back, that won’t be enough reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to sufficiently rein in climate change, Gates said. Gates himself pays $9 million a year to compensate for his own greenhouse gas emissions, he said.
But just having a few rich countries, a few rich companies and a few rich individuals buy their way out so they can say they’re not part of the problem, that has nothing to do with solving the problem.
Gates said.
Also, there are a slew of other issues competing for attention and dollars, including the global pandemic, rising health care costs, aiding poor countries for issues besides climate change, and the war in Ukraine, too.
People who are in the climate space may not realize how many things are competing for the modest amount of increased resources that society has. And that not that many people are prepared to be worse off because of climate requirements.
Gates said.
The solution, according to Gates, is creating better technological alternatives where it is the same price or cheaper to accomplish the same goal in a climate-conscious way. Gates has long talked about the space between the cost of how something is conventionally done and the way it should be do in a decarbonized way the “green premium.” To make meaningful change on climate change, that green premium has to slowly reduced and then eliminated in all sectors of the economy, according to Gates.
In an effort to close that green premium, Gates’ investment fund, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, puts money into early-stage startups that are working to to create new pathways for producing things or new ways of doing things.
In the course of the interview, Gates hinted that Breakthrough Energy Ventures would be raising a third fund by next year to continue to invest in and accelerate the development of these climate startups. He also indicated that Breakthrough Energy will likely raise money to invest in later stage companies, too.
Even as the ebullience in investing in tech and climate companies is down a bit, I still think we’ll be able to raise the money.
he told Rathi.
Also important, the path to decarbonization is not always a straight path of progress away from fossil fuels. The war in Ukraine and Europe’s efforts to reduce its dependence on energy from Russia has shown that there might be temporary setbacks in larger decarbonization goals for the sake of taking care of people.
When people say to me, ‘Hey, we love your climate stuff, because we can tell Putin we don’t need him.’ I say, ‘Yeah, 10 years from now. Call him up and tell him you don’t need him.’
Gates said.
Between now and then, the European Union may need to fall back on fossil fuels.
Should you reopen coal plants? Probably. These pragmatics are pretty important. Should that Netherlands’ gas field be reopened? Maybe so. It’s a very tough set of tradeoffs. Very unexpected.
In the short range, you just have to find any solution, even if that means emissions are going to go up. The sooner that war ends, the better. But there’s a lot of considerations that go into how to bring it to an end.
Gates said.
In the long run, however, finding new ways of supporting people is the only feasible solution, according to Gates.
I’m looking at what the world has to do to get to zero, not using climate as a moral crusade.
he said.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
Proverbs 11:9
Gates’ oozing hypocrisy here needs no commentary; however, he along with the media filling in for him, have dropped subtly hints into what the real agenda is.
Consider Gates’ statement:
Anyone who says that we will tell people to stop eating meat, or stop wanting to have a nice house, and we’ll just basically change human desires, I think that that’s too difficult. You can make a case for it. But I don’t think it’s realistic for that to play an absolutely central role.
This makes me wonder if Bill and these rich psychos in ‘the club’ read The WinePress, because I have said nearly identical statements such as this. People are simply just not going to voluntarily follow these climate agendas. However, as I have said many times before, an economic collapse around the world will do the trick; coupled with deep famine, pestilence, and war to boot. Moreover, I have theorized that a zoonotic plague will be imagined or actually unleashed in a bid to justify culling most livestock, which would force people off of the meats.
[1] Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.1 Timothy 4:1-3
Furthermore, CNBC opened up their article by mentioning “degrowth” – which is something I reported on last week, where the WEF and TED indirectly hinted at reducing the world population as the real means of reducing “carbon.” Once again: YOU are the “carbon” they want to reduce.

Only then can these climate indicatives finally be implemented: significantly less people, who are petrified and will be groveling to the state for hope.
The average person is not going to notice these implications, even though mainstream is plastering these comments everywhere online.
The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
Proverbs 28:11
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
The WinePress needs your support! If God has laid it on your heart to want to contribute, please prayerfully consider donating to this ministry. If you cannot gift a monetary donation, then please donate your fervent prayers to keep this ministry going! Thank you and may God bless you.
“Gates himself pays $9 million a year to compensate for his own greenhouse gas emissions, he said.”
If only everyone on earth had $9 million to compensate for his own greenhouse emissions, we could save the earth!!! Lol
And we can drive Teslas and instead of gas stations we have charge stations, and the earth will become greener than grass.
Haha.
Jacob, and readers. Have you come across these reports about certain small insects having numbers printed on them, somehow connected to this psycho Gates? I’m not sure how real this is yet.
I don’t know about that, but there are graphene objects that can be imprinted into a person’s wrists so that their blood pressure can be monitored continuously. Ridiculous. Who would want to live like that? Oh wait…….unsaved people who terrified of death……except for Halloween movies.
This demon needs to begin the population-reduction plan with himself!… He thinks of himself as a brilliant voice that everyone should listen to and kneel down to, he is a murderous Kermit the Frog voice with contempt for mankind. May God Soon bring this evil, vile, arrogant creature down!
Antichrist witch. Thinks he’s a god, or on his way to joining his spark to the greater creation ‘one’….always about sacrificing someone else, lying, stealing someone else’s stuff & life. One day soon he’ll know which fire he’s consigned himself to & he won’t be rising some ‘Phoenix’ or flaming dragon, or joining himself to it, from that fire. Looking narrowly on the one he followed & trusted who is just as, and even more, deceptive, thieving, greedy, ungrateful, hypocritical, unloving, unfaithful as he. Like Crowley who died ‘perplexed’, or Voltaire, cursing & clawing the walls, or Michael Landon who deceived so many into the antichrist crafted religion of Genesis 3 deceived ascending humanity—pathetically trying to resist death, crying out ‘no’, that he ‘wasn’t ready’. Indeed. Isaiah 14 & 2 Corinthians 5 KJB.

2Co 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
2Co 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.
2Co 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
