People Will Not Abandon Lifestyle for the Sake of Climate Change: Bill Gates

Bill Gates, a billionaire, dismissed the possibility that people could make significant lifestyle changes like becoming vegetarians or giving up meat to combat climate change.

“I don’t think we can count on people living a impoverished lifestyle as a solution to climate change,” Gates At an Indian event on March 1. “You know, meat consumption in India will be less … That’s wonderful. Will all Indians become vegetarians? Will all Americans become vegetarians? I wouldn’t want to count on it. Anybody who wants to evangelize that, they’re welcome to. I won’t resist in any way.”

Gates previously advocated for rich nations adopting 100 percent synthetic beef made from plant proteins, such as peas or beans, and fats like coconut or canola oil. He also advocated for minerals and flavorings.

Gates advocated for widespread adoption of plant-based meat products in an online Reddit interaction in January.

“For people who want to go Vegan that is great but I don’t think most people will do that. There are companies making ‘beef’ in new ways and people working to still use cows but reduce the methane emissions,” He Submitted.

“I have backed a number of innovators in this space including Beyond and Impossible and Memphis. I think eventually these products will be very good even though their share is small today.”

Gates is currently busy purchasing farmland in America and pushing for a shift away from meat consumption.

According to a July 20,22 Let me know Rep. Dusty Johnson (R.S.D. The Microsoft founder, Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) is seeking testimony from Gates regarding his farm purchases. “largest private farmland owner” The United States has more than 270,000 acres in farmland in 19 states.

Energy Consumption

Gates spoke at the India event about energy consumption. Gates pointed out that air conditioning could be prohibited if the government is willing to enforce tough laws. “good for the climate.” He said that it would not happen because a warmer climate will continue to increase the demand for cooling.

“But as India gets warmer and warmer, I’m betting the demand for air condition is going to skyrocket. The country that has the most air conditioning by far is the United States. Even Europe doesn’t have what we have. And so, as it gets hotter, you know, you demand more electricity, which if it’s not green, then you’re in a positive feedback loop,” He stated.

Gates pointed out that middle-income nations such as India are responsible for most of the demand to increase energy, cement and steel. “where even if you stop at, say a quarter of American energy intensity, that climate change is very, very dramatic.”

Microsoft co-founder and CEO suggested that the United States could still use Microsoft’s services. “half as much energy per person,” It would be “unjust” Ask India to maintain its current consumption level.

Our World in Data estimates that energy use per person in the United States was close to 11 times India’s 6,992 kilowatthours per capita.

Climate Change Agenda

Patrick Moore, one the founding members of Greenpeace, stated last year that climate change was based on false narratives.

In an email received by The Epoch TimesMoore, who resigned from the organization in 1986, stated Greenpeace was his favorite charity. “hijacked” by the political left when it became apparent of the money- and power involved with the environment movement.

“The ‘environmental’ movement has become more of a political movement than an environmental movement,” Moore stated. “They are primarily focused on creating narratives, stories, that are designed to instill fear and guilt into the public so the public will send them money.”

Climate Intelligence (an independent foundation founded by Climate Intelligence) received signatures last June from more than 1,100 scientists and professionals around the globe for its World Climate Declaration, which declared that there is no emergency in climate.

Interview with The Epoch TimesMarcel Crok is the founder of CLINTEL. He stated that although it is now accepted that carbon dioxide plays a major role in climate change, he still believes that there is no other explanation. “climate emergency”

“We simply state that all evidence so far indicates that the increase in CO2 and the increase in temperature [are] not harmful for us or for nature and therefore the climate hysteria surrounding the topic is totally unjustified [and] that the ‘cure’—getting rid of fossil fuels asap and replacing them with renewables—probably will be worse than the ‘disease’ [climate change].”
