Climate scientists take Bill Gates to task.
First off, thank you to everyone who joined last week’s virtual event, where four leading climate scientists shared about Bill Gates’ controversial climate memo. If you couldn’t make it, the full video is here.
Rather than summarize the entire discussion, here are a few useful quotes — starting with this one from Texas Tech’s Katharine Hayhoe:
“[Gates] talks about how climate change will affect people who are poor, but it won’t be the worst thing that affects them; there will be other things like hunger and poverty. Well, how does climate change affect us? It affects us by making hunger and poverty worse. They are not separate problems. They are problems that are being exacerbated by this very issue. So we’re not talking about humans becoming extinct, but we are talking about massive suffering, including loss of life, as well as livelihoods, homes and more. And that suffering increases degree by degree.”
