The man sits on the board for a tech company that repeatedly lobbies against right to repair and purposefully accelerates computing devices towards obsolescence in an attempt to increase sales of its operating systems software. His lifetime achievement is creating more e-waste than any other human. Thanks for the fluff piece CBS.
One can not port MS office from one machine to another, because he need to make money for his climate agenda
never forget how he got control of windows... any one remember woz?
I bet you Bill Gates flew his private plane to that location
He flew a private jet to a island as well
@@user-cq9ph5pz1j is there a problem with that?
But he spends 9million a year purchasing carbon offsets /s 🤣
@@jackred2362 I wish more billionaires would do that too.
and made everyone else get their on their own
I don't trust him!
How much energy does those carbon plants use?
A lot... it's a good use for solar and wind at times of the day when they're producing more electricity than is demanded (curtailment). Investments like this help drive better efficiency so it takes less energy per ton of co2 removed
@@alexpetersen5 The best thing to do with excess wind and solar is to store it in a "battery of sorts" that is not electro chemical, and a good one is to convert electricty into liquid air+stored heat and when desired run it back through the turbine that compressed it. The riound trip e to e efficiency is about 60% which compares well to pumped hydro. They are building some of these in Scotland to go with the wind farms. The only materials needed are steel for tanks, sand for heat, and air for liquification plus all the turbines.
@@johnjakson444 hell yeah love to see progress with these different types of storage (especially, as you note, thermal) and agree that right now it's a much better decarbonization bang for your buck... but those things aren't going to clean up air travel... looks like we'll need fuel for that
lets start with all the rich people and their private jets
do what i say not what i do.
Start with campaign finance reform.
Too late to start there. We all have to do something right now. Burning wood, not oil, and letting 1/4 of the property you own grow wild is something we can all do. Be creative, use your ideas to reduce your plastic and carbon footprint.
Stop talking about private jets. It's like ivermectin: a completely irrelevant detail meant to distract
We're not fighting against climate change. We're fighting against eachother.
Dont worry fellow taxpayers. That feeling you have that you're being robbed while being Fd in the A, is nothing more than you being robbed while being Fd in the A. Go back to sleep. Dont pay attention so much.
Just plant native plants flowers bushes trees and succulents.
Line the empty middle spots that freeways or hyways have where its 50 to 60 feet of dirt just put some native trees in there.
Off ramps with there big dirt sides cover in native greenery.
Yes. We should also do that on 1/4 of all of the property we own. Let whatever wants to live there run wild. That will protect plant species and animals as well as provide a carbon sink and oxygen.
You're the carbon he wants to eliminate.
I need this to be pinned! 👆🏾
Gates=a regular on Epstein's Island
Look at the comments no one likes this dude yet he will never have a bad thing said about him in the media
No mainstream media said nothing bad about this dude. 95% of all US media are owned by six conglomerates , and this conglomerates are owned by Fortress Investment Group, Soros Fund Management, etc.
I do not think that media companies will be publishing articles saying something bad about their own boss.
Tho people still feel that sometimes is off.
I skimmed Gates' book on addressing the climate crisis, and he just doesn't understand that the climate crisis is just a symptom of the root problem, which is the ecological overshoot that results from industrialized societies and consumerist lifestyles that are totally out of whack with Earth's limits and the laws of nature. If we look at the big picture and ask how can we feed, house, and clothe eight billion people while stopping the destruction of Earth's ecosystems (and thus our future), the only way to accomplish that is to transform civilization and shift to much smaller, more localized, semi-circular, and de-industrialized economies, shrink human consumption radically, phase out most man-made products, chemicals, and industrialized processes, and return to living using more natural materials, more manual labor, and just holding onto the most essential/beneficial aspects of our modern civilization.
I read the whole book , my favorite part is how rationalizes his carbon footprint by basically saying I’m rich so I can produce more carbon than everyone else but it’s ok because I offset it . Which means he isn’t interested in reducing his own carbon footprint he just wants everyone else to
@@joejoey7272 Thanks for the reply.
And of course, carbon offsets are just a colonialist accounting-trick scam.
#ESG
The book you refer to is the Gates version of the David MacKay book "Without the hot air". The MacKay book was a book with UK centric stats and in metric and is well worth reading. The Gates version was written for the US market, haven't read it yet.
Nevertheless, we all use energy for comfort, but we have vastly overshot what we should be expecting to use, for instance small cars were once acceptable, now people want SUVs, the bigger the better. I survive the car crash, you don't. All atempts to push EV will be wasted because the shift to ever larger ICE SUVs is much faster than the push to EVs so going backwards. And those EVs are getting big too, the weight of cars goes up so more wear tear on roads and this is in merry olde England, not the US.
@karlwheatley1244
Bill is going to suck out all the CO2 out of the air, which means we won't be able to breath
Most took his safe and effective clot shot and now he cares about the weather.
recent studies have shown if climate activist would stop blowing all the hot air out of their pie holes the climate temperature will stay in a safe equilibrium right now
Direct air capture is an insane scam
Direct CO2 capture from the oceans is about 1400 times denser so more practical. But if you use a nat gas power plant to convert methane into energy plus CO2 and nature captures that CO2 in the oceans then use energy to capture that CO2, guess what, the energy required is more than the nat gas power plant gave in the first place.
As long as power plants produce energy and CO2, running the process backwards is a fools errand. Renewables like wind and solar still needs nat gas peakers. The only non CO2 alternative is nuclear.
Hahaha, billionaires like himself are responsible for most of the polution and emissions. And datacenters are responsible for 1.1% of the total amount of worldwide global electricity consumption. For 2020 the total amount of electrical consumption is approximately 25.2 petawatt hours (PWh), according to data from the International Energy Agency (IEA). This means datacenters around the world are responsible for the consumption of aprox. 1.1% of 613 exajoules. That means the consumption is equal to approximately 6,743 exajoules. To make a rough estimate, let's say an average household uses about 10,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity per year.
Now we need to convert the total amount of energy in exajoules to kilowatt hours (kWh). One exajoule is equal to 2.7778 × 10^14 kWh.
So, 6,743 exajoules is equal to:
6.743 exajoules * 2.7778 × 10^14 kWh/exajoules ≈ 1.8729 × 10^18 kWh.
Now we can calculate the number of households that can be supplied with electricity:
Number of households = Total energy / Average energy consumption per household
Number of households = (1.8729 × 10^18 kWh) / (10,000 kWh/household)
Number of households ≈ 1.8729 × 10^14 households
So, with 6,743 exajoules of energy you could provide approximately 187,290,000,000,000 households with electricity.
Well, now look who's talking?
He might as well fight against the rotation of the Earth.
Democrats ARE fighting against that.
"He might as well fight against the rotation of the Earth." Those are totally different things: The rotation of the Earth is a natural process we have nothing to do with but ~98% of global warming since 1900 was caused by our emissions, and if we stop emitting more CO2, the Earth will stop warming.
Real issue just seemed to be shareholders. Let's see: shareholders existence is the actual foundation of capitalism. So what is the issue?
An over heated, unlivable planet is very bad for the markets and capitalism.
Lies!
The elite must geoform earth to conform it for the underground aliens. Only then can they come to surface.
Net zero oil??? Are you joking? Once you have oil corporations behind this project with the intend to improve their income and to use tax benefits...there is something really wrong...
Scam!!
Jeff would be so proud of bills work if he were still with us
It's almost may, and it's 0 C in Europe
Is he lowering his carbon footprint?
WHAT CREATES THE HUGE AMOUNT OF ENERGY NEEDED to FILTER ALL THIS CO2 out of the air and get it underground again???!!!!! They left this out entirely!!!!
You think they haven't thought of that? lol
5m followers only 500 views In 1 hour lol😂
For Pete's Sake, will the private jet class of people ever realize their own gross hypocrisy on this issue?
Time to learn from the ANT. And build deep into the earth
She is really Not aging very well.
Yeh I’m sure shoving it in the ground will not have any negative consequences
I'm watching this because Jharkhand India temperature is 43°c and it's rising above day by day, fans , cooler are failed, harder to live, harder to sleep, night temperature is 28°c but feels like 38°c, I don't know, how to make environment cooler, even in Jharkhand is hills and forest area, but it's temperature rising continuously! What to do
Earth goes though this hot cold cycle, just live with it. There is nothing man made, all this are lies. Humans are not suppose to be forever species on planet earth.
That is the price of western lifestyle spreads everywhere.
Yes! So excited for the future!
Lol, he does not care, just looking for more ways to line his pockets.
They have invented the earth, goebels is still alive
He is pure evil
@@user-dc1dr9kr8x ur comment isn’t as funny as u think it is
It must be nice to live in such a simple world.
Why?
keep gates out off our lands and our foods
Busy work for the ultra rich. We need Co2 for Life
"We need Co2 for Life" This comment sort of misses the point, which is that although yes, we need CO2, there is zero risk we will run out of it, but the existential threat to the future of life on earth is that we have jacked up CO2 levels from 280 ppm to 420 ppm, but all ecosystems on Earth are well-adapted to CO2 levels under 300 ppm. Critically, our lives, economies, and societies are totally dependent on the health of the ecosystems and species we are driving toward collapse/extinction through our EXCESS CO2 emissions, other pollution, direct killing of species, and direct destruction of ecosystems.
Quite simply, humans are pushing the Earth toward a mass extinction event.
@@karlwheatley1244
"quite simply", u say. 😆 hardly.
the climate change he fights is our soul's climate he knows the earth is on a cycle that this happened before red kachina is here again
Totally greenwashing.
I think we need to keep studying before we make any drastic changes that can’t be immediately reversed if something unforeseen goes wrong
We always jump the gun and do more damage in some other way we don’t understand.
Evil
Bill Gates isn't doing anything meaningful, that's for sure
Computer-generated AI and Bitcoin mining use incredible amounts of energy. Using Hydrogen to generate power could avoid Carbon emissions and also avoid the problem of nuke waste disposal. If we do nothing to reduce the amount of carbon in our atmosphere we won't leave the garden we inherited for our grand kids.
I’d love to see the lady in greens honkers
4:50 If she can balance the Carrots(Carbon Credits) and the Sticks(Carbon Tax)....She's already leading the pack and a Good Hero in climate books.
Isn't this guy a tech guy , why is he all over biotech and climate stuff , so called expert???
I believe Bill Gates should Produce More Computer Technology.😊.
6:03 Good Question #Efficiency is the Magic number: Bottom Line
Ban privste jets and 20000 square foot houses. Then maybe I'll start listening to these hypocrites.
I can ask a lot of questions too....
Welp at least he's doing something..
He claim to be software guy when his foundation software was purchase.
Maybe he can fix our Border!

The best way to pull CO2 from the environment is not from the air but from the oceans where CO2 is massively more concentrated by 1400 times. The process is simple, pass a low freq AC current through the salt water and the CO2 bubbles out but the AC current leave the chemistry of the ocean alone. That CO2 should be used to make synfuels. The energy source needed to drive that current and convert the CO2 back into fuels should be coming from baseload nuclear. The US Navy did this some 2 decades ago to make jet fuel on aircraft carriers.
In the end all of these journalists are still idiots. And using CO2 to pump out more oil is just greenwashing unless the CO2 that is buried is vastly more than the oil will release.
Also Bill Gates rewrote a book on energy based off the David MacKay book "Without the hot air". The latter is well worth reading since it explains why we all use so much energy, about 10KW primary in the US, or 300GJ/year. You can look up Wikipedia for Per Capita Energy Use in various countries.
This commercial brought to you by Gates Foundation 😮
It's like I am living on Gillians island 🏝️🤷
Gilligan's island?
@@TheErik249 yes. And I will let you guess who Gillian is
By volume, the dry air in Earth's atmosphere is about 78.08 percent nitrogen, 20.95 percent oxygen, and 0.93 percent argon, adding up to 99.96 percent. A brew of trace gases accounts for the other approximately 0.04 percent, including the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. To think that a small increase (200 parts per million in the last hundred years) of carbon dioxide would affect the weather is absurd.
I agree.
400 PPM CO2 is just a slight improvement above a carbon dioxide bottom of 180 PPM where photosynthesis would shut down.
But you can't tell the ignorant masses anything about how photosynthesis actually works after years of programming and propaganda about an alleged climatic apocalypse.
If they really did believe that co2 was driving temperatures up, it would be illegal to chop trees down.
"To think that a small increase (200 parts per million in the last hundred years) of carbon dioxide would affect the weather is absurd." First, we're talking about climate not weather. Second, it may be a trace gas, but those trace gases pack a huge punch: Without CO2, the global climate would be more than 50 degrees F colder than it is, much of it would be frozen solid, and there would likely be no life on it.
Meanwhile, thousands of research studies prove that out emissions caused ~98% of net global warming since 1900.

I thought it was a Russian hoax and conspiracy theory
Al Gore invented climate change before Hillary invented the Russian hoax
Sweet! I can keep rolling coal.
Not really
Carbon dioxide increase is making bigger yields in agriculture and greening the planet.
"Carbon dioxide increase is making bigger yields in agriculture and greening the planet." Actually, it's already causing hundreds of harmful/destructive ripple effects for people, societies, other species, and ecosystems, including an increasing global browning trend that is gradually eclipsing the earlier global greening trend.
Big changes in CO2 levels for species and ecosystems adapted to different CO2 levels and the different climate and ocean chemistry they create cause mass extinctions of life. Period.
Liar. Increased carbon dioxide causes heating, which causes droughts, which is bad for agriculture.
The bigger yields are actually due to continuing better agricultural practices, technology, and improved cultivars, including GMO crops.
@@GerryMantha Right, and pretty detailed research shows that net global crop yields are already lower than they would have been on a cooler mister planet with less CO2 (about 1% less). That number will keep going up as it warms.
So we are getting help from Epstein's acolytes?
I believe him 😂 those people only want to increase their incomes all the time
You want to help fight climate change. Stop fighting against technology that helps in this fight like EV and stop publishing articles against those technologies and star acknowledging that the Fossil Fuel industry needs to be held accountable for the mess its made.
This is the greenest the earth has been in recorded history, and its famously known digging for batteries for the "EV" causes more harm than "fossil" fuels.... which there is absolutely no evidence that shows crude oil even comes from fossils🤦♂️
Mining minerals to build EV batteries does more damage to the environment than gas powered cars do. Facts matter.
I skimmed Gates' book on addressing the climate crisis, and he just doesn't understand that the climate crisis is just a symptom of the root problem, which is the ecological overshoot that results from industrialized societies and consumerist lifestyles that are totally out of whack with Earth's limits and the laws of nature. If we look at the big picture and ask how can we feed, house, and clothe eight billion people while stopping the destruction of Earth's ecosystems (and thus our future), the only way to accomplish that is to transform civilization and shift to much smaller, more localized, semi-circular, and de-industrialized economies, shrink human consumption radically, phase out most man-made products, chemicals, and industrialized processes, and return to living using more natural materials, more manual labor, and just holding onto the most essential/beneficial aspects of our modern civilization.
What's critical to understand is that virtually all man-made products cause net harm to the web of life we depend on, and given that we are currently overshooting Earth's sustainable carrying capacity by about 75% per year, we must drastically reduce the amount of stuff we make.
@@alk3078 And drilling for oil and causing oil spills is much better. Any technology such as ICE vehicles or EVs requires raw materials that need to be mined or did you forget why people steal catalytic converters
@@Wongseifu548 Doesn't change the fact that mining minerals to build EV batteries does more damage to the environment than gas powered cars, does it?
Since the American flag is now offensive let's just change our national song 🎶 here on Gillians Island 🎶🏝️😎🎸🐒🥥

Ai consumes super energy imagined
Making as much money as he can intell people find out it's a scam, the earth is naturally changing and has done it many times.
if bill is doing it you can be sure that we'll all get charged for it while he gets rich.
Carbon capture is critical, even if we get to net zero tomorrow, we still have 100 years worth of CO2 in our atmosphere so we'll need to get rid of it.
It'll be interesting to know if Occidental oil is pumping in more CO2 than that produced by the resulting oil.
As you can tell, I'm a pragmatic optimist
Ha finally a spicy yet nuanced comment, i would say we could use carbon capture bet lets first reduce emissions drastically . also, could the capture of the co2 require less energy than the pumped up oil produces?
@@aatkarelse8218 i certainly do think that reducing emissions is more urgent than CO2 capture, but I'd argue that, as we know we'll need CO2 capture, we should start developing and scaling it ASAP.
I do doubt that the CO2 captured will be more than the CO2 from the resulting oil, but my thinking is only based on a hunch.
@@francowabongo I'm afraid my friend we will have to rely on trees for this one, noting tree hugging or something like that.
1 Grow em in diverse forests (so we can have some biodiversity in the mean time)
2 Cut them down/ harvests them.
3 Put the wood to good use in buildings etc (or turn them in stable charcoal powder/carbon)
4 Keep the wood from burning/decomposing store the carbon deep underground.
5 Do this for generations.
If work for the people is politically good (somethings you can win a lot of votes with).
Then this is pure gold, there is a lot of manual labour in forestry.
I hope the technology can catch up with the damage we as humans are causing. God speed Bill Gates and everyone fighting the good fight. Most of the people in the comments solidify why we need to fund education.
Worst man ever
@@pattymorton8880 who Bill Gates? Why?
"I hope the technology can catch up with the damage we as humans are causing." More man-made stuff just kills the planet faster, albeit by other means. We must face the fact that this form of civilization is laughably but tragically unsustainable.
@@JazznRealHipHopHe does children.
"I hope the technology can catch up with the damage we as humans are causing." It is more technology that caused the damage. We need much smaller economies and simpler and lower-tech lives (using more natural materials and manual labor) to save as many people and species as possible.

The climate will always change 😂 winter to summer, fall to spring..😂 hell we are technically in an ice age currently and global warming creates life global cooling kills life... lets you know exactly where he stands
"The climate will always change winter to summer, fall to spring." That's NOT what climate means.
"global warming creates life global cooling kills life." Actually, it is rapid CHANGES in the conditions species and ecosystems are adapted to that causes things to die off, and we are currently driving the planet toward a mass extinction event by warming the planet ~20 times faster than it usually warms when coming out of an ice age and raising global CO2 levels more than 10X faster than they usually increase after an ice age.
I respectfully suggest reading a little more in-depth science on these issues.
I never thought I would need to say this, but we are not in an ice age. It is also worth noting that the last time carbon dioxide levels were this high, humans did not exist. This is not a human-friendly climate.
Someone maxed out their education at the 6th grade level.
@@timtruett5184The earth has been in a cooling trend for 40 million years. The ice age started 39 million years ago when Antarctica became glaciated. Ice caps are the definition of ice age. The warmer periods when North America melts are called interglacial periods
Wow, interesting to hear you say we are looking for a solution to the climate over-heating problem - as if everything will get back to "normal" ( so far it seems impossible to find such a solution ) Rather it seems more sensible to hear how we will adapt to the climate predicament.
We should just tax the billionaires into none existence.
Study James Hansen on the global heat imbalance. GHG equivalent CO2, CH4, and SO2 is over 500 ppm. These are extinction levels. We are toast without CO2 drawdown and capture and geoengineering.
Look at that hard hat! He really is just one of us! 🙄
thats the only time his hat gets hard because.......he's microsoft ;)
Im bill gates and did not approve this.
Bill Gates achievements are great on software computation and may be even grater on AI and cloud programs, but whatever else he like to achieve, including green energy and energy transition together with CCS or direct air CO2 Capture and Sequestration, is and will be failure and disaster for the economy. For more clarifications on this subject, and a test on his AI and cloud I suggest direct contact from Bill Gate.
He asks a lot of questions because he pretends that he cares for his persona. In reality, he doesn't care at all like th rest of the rich people. He lives comfortably and has no worries if the world ends tomorrow.
Meanwhile, they creat 10x's the emissions to just build these facilities. 🤦♀️
Bill Gates, good man. 👍
You don't read much do you?
You go right ahead and let him do whatever he wants to you.
Good for nothing that is.
go woke, go broke
first of all that is a huge rack. Second of all, Gill bates' father started the eugenics movement in america. Gill is a computer guy, not a doctor-just stop
I see Gates point but then again I think about Centralia just cause they say goes back into the rock and never heats up again is that really true? 😂 Overtime everything has its limits.
haha. gates does not care about climage change, if he did, why did he short Tesla, arguaely the most "green" comapny there with a 500 million bet again it. so creepy
no one cares what that peo thinks
Bill is a farmer too and don’t forget about his vac company’s but he’s not the best chemist.
funny cuz his daughter likes to burn coal
It will take many idea options with us all working together being willing to let go of current high emissions machines/modes of travel. Let's do this together as a nation.🇺🇲
It's to late we are doomed!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is Bill still having play dates with 13-year old girls?
Probably daily since Melinda left.
Keep labeling Americans while promoting everyone from the island 🏝️
