The climate alarmist establishment is in veritable disarray, as one of its most influential patrons appears to have defected from the faith. Last week, billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates wrote a long missive from his digital pulpit GatesNotes<\/em>, titled \u2018Three tough truths about climate: What I want everyone at COP30 to know<\/a>\u2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What upset devotees of the Church of Climate<\/a> was Gates conceding that climate change will not cause humanity\u2019s extinction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Although climate change will have serious consequences \u2014 particularly for people in the poorest countries \u2014 it will not lead to humanity\u2019s demise. People will be able to live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This departure from the apocalyptic fervour that once aligned Mr Gates with the high priests of environmental doom \u2014 figures like Al Gore, Bill McKibben, Michael Mann and UN Secretary General of \u201cglobal boiling<\/a>\u201d fame Ant\u00f3nio Guterres, who prophesied planetary demise unless humanity submits to the ironclad dogma of \u2018Net Zero by 2050\u2019 \u2014 was met with righteous indignation by upholders of the faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Mann of the University of Pennsylvania, who concocted the infamous global warming \u2018hockey stick\u2019 chart<\/a>, wrote to HuffPost<\/a> <\/em>that he observed \u201can alarming shift in Gates\u2019s rhetoric on climate change in recent years\u201d. The reliably Leftist-progressive outlet quoted Mann\u2019s accusation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

It was hardly surprising to me to encounter Gates\u2019s dismissive recent words downplaying the threat of climate change and the need for urgent action. They simply reinforce the fact that he has been misguided on climate for some time now.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

PBS reported<\/a> that Jeffrey Sachs, Director of the Centre for Sustainable Development at Columbia University and President of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, called Gates\u2019s essay \u201cpointless, vague, unhelpful and confusing. \u2026 There is no reason to pit poverty reduction versus climate transformation. Both are utterly feasible, and readily so, if the Big Oil lobby is brought under control.\u201d Robert Bryce<\/a> refers to Laura Mauldin, an academic at the University of Connecticut, who writes in the New Republic <\/em>that Gates\u2019s essay was a \u201cgreat example of why we shouldn\u2019t be listening to people like him<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bill Gates was on the right side until he wasn\u2019t, and one can imagine Mann, rather Greta-like, spluttering indignantly, \u201cHow dare you?<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It must be particularly inflammatory to the climate industrial complex for President Trump to have proclaimed<\/a> in his usual rumbunctious style on Truth Social: \u201cI (WE!) just won the War on the Climate Change Hoax. Bill Gates has finally admitted that he was completely WRONG on the issue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why the Pivot and Why Now?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gates now urges a pivot away from climate alarmism toward human welfare: vaccines to combat disease, resilient agriculture to feed the hungry and a pragmatic acknowledgment that fossil fuels aren\u2019t vanishing anytime soon. This is no minor tweak. It is a tacit admission that the climate models, once touted as gospel, have diverged wildly from empirical reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But why this shift, and why now? Is it the dawning of reason amid mounting scientific evidence against modern day Lysenkoism<\/a>, or a calculated repositioning by one of the world\u2019s shrewdest investors, perhaps hastened by the counter-revolution<\/a> in American politics under President Trump?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To grasp the magnitude of Gates\u2019s volte-face<\/em> one must revisit the historical arc of climate alarmism, a movement that has morphed from scientific inquiry into a quasi-religious crusade. For decades, Gates was a fervent acolyte, pouring billions from his foundation into initiatives that amplified the direst projections of the climate industrial complex. His 2021 book, How to Avoid a Climate Disaster<\/em>, read like a manifesto for technocratic salvation<\/a>: massive subsidies for renewables, carbon taxes to punish emitters and a global mobilisation akin to wartime efforts. The blurb to the book declares: \u201cIn this urgent, authoritative book, Bill Gates sets out a wide-ranging, practical \u2014 and accessible \u2014 plan for how the world can get to zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to avoid a climate catastrophe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This echoed the Malthusian warnings of arch-doomster Paul Ehrlich whose 1968 Population Bomb<\/em> predicted mass starvation by the 1980s \u2014 prophecies that crumbled<\/a> under the weight of economic growth, widespread use of agricultural fertilisers, relatively free markets for food and bountiful natural resources. Similarly, the climate models Gates championed relied on implausible worst-case scenarios<\/a>, assuming hypersensitivity to CO2<\/sub>, projections that have consistently overshot observed global temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I noted in my 2021 review of Gates\u2019s book<\/a>, these models ignored the adaptive ingenuity of human societies and the economic folly of mandating a rushed transition away from fossil fuels, which still power over 80% of global energy. The evidence against such alarmism has accumulated, eroding the foundations of the alarmist narrative. An independent assessment by a panel of experts untainted by the climate-industrial complex, commissioned by the US Department of Energy under Secretary Chris Wright, has authoritatively debunked the notion of imminent catastrophe. The July 2025 report<\/a> concludes that while greenhouse gas emissions warrant attention through innovation and adaptation, the risks to human existence are exaggerated and are not borne out by rigorous scientific analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy consulting giants like Wood Mackenzie, who have been eager participants in the Net Zero mantra for the past decade, now belatedly forecast<\/a> that fossil fuels will dominate the global energy mix well past mid-century, rendering \u2018Net Zero by 2050\u2019 not just prohibitively costly \u2014 with trillions in stranded assets and disrupted supply chains \u2014 but technologically infeasible. The International Energy Agency under Director Fatih Birol, long a cheerleader for renewable energy, has now reversed<\/a> its previous ridiculous call<\/a> to stop all fossil fuel investments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

I want to make it clear\u2026 there would be a need for investment, especially to address the decline in the existing fields. There is a need for oil and gas upstream investments, full stop.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Has Gates changed his mind when the facts change? Surveying the empirical wreckage of the climate alarmist narrative, perhaps he has embraced a Keynesian humility. Alas, if only that were so. To begin with, the facts have not changed as much as scientific objectivity has had greater access to alternative media. With President Trump\u2019s energy dominance agenda<\/a> and his executive order to \u2018Restore Gold Standard Science<\/a>\u2018, contrarian scientists and sceptics have been able to pierce through the veil of Leftist-progressive media censorship that was a defining feature of the climate-industrial complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bill Gates is (still) all for solar and wind power, battery storage and EVs. In this, Gates is unlike Energy Secretary Chris Wright who is aware of the need to curb Western carbon colonialism<\/a> that seeks to keep African countries from exploiting fossil fuels for cheap energy. Gates wishes for the Global South have not changed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

All countries will be able to construct buildings with low-carbon cement and steel. Almost all new cars will be electric. Farms will be more productive and less destructive, using fertiliser created without generating any emissions. Power grids will deliver clean electricity reliably, and energy costs will go down.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Like his 2021 book, Gates still hankers for a technological cornucopia with a long list of \u2018exciting innovations\u2019 such as zero emission steel, clean cement, geologic hydrogen, carbon capture, sustainable aviation fuel, synthetic zero-emission fertiliser, feedstock additives and vaccines to curb cow-burped methane and the like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can policymakers do? Well, Democrats in the US, EU bureaucrats in Brussels and Energy Secretary \u2018Mad Ed\u2019 Miliband in the UK will be pleased to note that Gates still recommends that policymakers \u201cprotect funding for clean technology and the policies that promote them\u201d. A tiger cannot change its stripes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expediency and Opportunism Perhaps?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a satirical barb<\/a>, the Wall Street Journal\u2019<\/em>s Holman Jenkins Jr captures the irony: \u201cBill Gates Apologises for Earth\u2019s Survival: The science never said humanity was doomed. Now, apparently, you\u2019re not obliged to believe it is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gates is now saying that we should be free from the paralysing fear he once peddled. His epiphany carries the whiff of opportunism, a strategic pivot masked as intellectual evolution \u2014 especially in the wake of Donald Trump\u2019s return to the White House, which has unleashed a torrent of scrutiny on the climate-industrial complex. As Glenn Beck acidly observed<\/a>, Gates\u2019s sudden \u2018climate reasonableness\u2019 smacks not of science but of political survival, a hasty retreat from doomsday rhetoric now that Trump\u2019s administration is dismantling the globalist grip on energy policy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Bill Gates\u2019 Sudden \u2018Climate Reasonableness\u2019 Isn\u2019t About Science \u2014 It\u2019s About Trump. For years, Bill Gates and the globalist elite pushed a doomsday climate agenda: shut down economies, ration energy and let the \u2018useless eaters\u2019 fend for themselves. The plan was simple \u2014 until Donald Trump won. Now, with the WEF and UN\u2019s grip slipping, Gates is singing a new tune: \u2018Maybe we should improve lives in a warming world instead of crippling them.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Coincidence? Hardly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look no further than the Senate Judiciary Committee\u2019s probe<\/a>, led by Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, into the Gates Foundation\u2019s $11.7 million funnelled to arms of China\u2019s Communist Government, including entities tied to the military and state-run universities bolstering Xi Jinping\u2019s regime. In his letter to Mark Suzman, Chief Executive Officer of the Gates Foundation, Sen Grassley starts with these statement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

According to recent reports, the Gates Foundation, through grants and direct payments, has funded the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its allies. I am writing today to ask you whether these reports are true or not and, if true, how your organisation\u2019s conduct comports with 501(c)(3) requirements.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

These funds, in turn, looped back to US climate NGOs, raising the possibility of influence-peddling. Rogan O\u2019Handley, a lawyer and conservative political commentator with a combined five million followers on Facebook, Instagram and X as of March 2024, argues<\/a> that this was no coincidence: Gates amplified climate hysteria to hobble American industry with regulations, while China ramped up coal-fired dominance, perhaps in exchange for favourable deals on his software empire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Trump vowing to unravel such entanglements, Gates\u2019s pivot looks less like enlightenment and more like pre-emptive damage control. This scrutiny extends to the Gates Foundation\u2019s broader role in environmental funding and NGO advocacy, now under the microscope of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). DOGE\u2019s early findings exposed<\/a> a web of public-private partnerships that channel taxpayer dollars to activist NGOs, amplifying agendas like \u2018environmental justice\u2019 and anti-fossil fuel litigation \u2014 networks in which Gates\u2019s philanthropy plays a starring role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, DOGE slashed $67 million in EPA grants under the Biden-era \u2018Justice40\u2019 initiative, targeting recipients like the Institute for Sustainable Communities and the Deep South Centre for Environmental Justice for pushing ideological pursuits over practical protection. Elon Musk has branded US-funded NGOs the \u201cbiggest scam ever<\/a>\u201c, accusing them of fraud and graft that bankrupts America, while congressional hearings decry these as \u2018slush funds\u2019 advancing radical causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although DOGE focuses on federal waste, its investigations indirectly implicate Gates. His foundation, with an endowment over $75 billion and annual grants exceeding $7 billion, supplements Government aid through partnerships like USAID\u2019s $40 billion portfolio, which DOGE has disrupted by suspending officials and programmes. Gates has publicly decried these cuts, warning they endanger children\u2019s lives in HIV\/AIDS hotspots, but Musk retorts with accusations of fraud in philanthropies \u2014 perhaps a veiled jab at Gates\u2019s networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gates\u2019s Breakthrough Energy arm, committing over $2.5 billion to climate tech and NGOs like the Rocky Mountain Institute, amplifies clean energy advocacy but, amid DOGE\u2019s pressure, has curtailed grant-making in 2025, signalling retreat. For Gates, DOGE\u2019s axe threatens a legacy built on blended philanthropy \u2014 potentially exposing mission creep where private agendas leverage public funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vaccines and Genetic Engineering<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gates\u2019s priorities in health and development \u2014 vaccines for health and \u2018resilient\u2019 agriculture \u2014 align with his vast investment portfolio and influence networks. Consider his fixation on vaccines. Empirical history tells us that the lion\u2019s share of human health gains over the past century stems not from pharmaceutical miracles but from foundational public health infrastructure \u2014 clean water, sanitation, nutrition and hygiene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Plummeting child mortality in the developing world correlates with economic growth and urban sanitation, although vaccines do have an important role to play. Why, then, does Gates\u2019s foundation channel billions into vaccine development, often at the expense of these basics? The Gates Foundation, as the WHO\u2019s second-largest funder (providing 9.5% of its income from 2010-2023), has skewed priorities: out of $4.5 billion contributed, 82.6% targeted infectious diseases, with 58.9% ($3.2 billion) funnelled to polio alone. In 2024, Gates poured $889 million into polio eradication \u2014 roughly $3 million per each of the 289 confirmed paralytic cases worldwide \u2014 despite the vast majority of outbreaks now being vaccine-derived polio from live-attenuated vaccines, rendering eradication an impossible goal. Dr Robert Malone<\/a> argues that this focus ignores root causes like poor sanitation, which historically drove polio\u2019s decline, and perpetuates a cycle where vaccines infect people with both asymptomatic and paralytic forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even more damning is the DTP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis) vaccine saga<\/a>, a vaccine which was phased out in the US in the 1980s for causing brain injury or death in one in 300 children. Yet Gates\u2019s initiatives continue administering it to more than 160 million African kids annually. This is negligence writ large, prioritising patentable interventions over proven public health initiatives. This pharma-centric worldview extends to Gates\u2019s outsized role in the World Health Organisation (WHO), where he ranks as the second-largest funder after the US Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WHO, recipient of hefty donations from pharmaceutical giants, has faced accusations of corruption and capture, particularly in its bungled Covid response. Overnight in early 2020, the WHO jettisoned decades of pandemic wisdom favouring targeted protections for the vulnerable, as articulated in the Great Barrington Declaration<\/a>, in favour of draconian lockdowns that ravaged economies, livelihoods and mental health across much of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turning to agriculture, Gates\u2019s proposals evoke similar scepticism. He advocates \u2018resilient\u2019 crops, genetic engineering and even whimsical interventions like inoculating cows to curb methane burps \u2014 framed as a climate imperative. But with his newfound doubt on planetary doom, why persist in demonising bovine flatulence? The real levers for feeding the world\u2019s poor lie in time-tested investments: irrigation networks, affordable fertilisers, rural extension services and pest-resistant seeds tailored to local ecologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lab-grown meat and synthetic biology, cornerstones of Gates\u2019 portfolio, smack of hubris. In sub-Saharan Africa, where malaria claims hundreds of thousands of lives annually, Gates\u2019s malaria vaccine push diverts from proven mosquito control via improved drainage, insecticides and insecticide-treated bed-nets \u2014 interventions that eradicated the disease in many parts of the world without a single jab. Why the aversion to these fundamentals?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps because they offer scant patentable profits, unlike the biotech ventures in which Gates holds stakes. As David Blackmon astutely observes in his Substack<\/a> analysis, Gates\u2019s dialogues with energy realists like Chris Wright reveal a man grappling with the unintended harms of green zealotry: soaring energy prices, food insecurity and stymied development in the name of emissions cuts. This is not to impugn Gates\u2019s intentions outright \u2014 philanthropy on his scale has undeniable potential to achieve much good. Yet history abounds with cautionary tales of roads to hell paved with good intentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can Philanthropy and Economic Development Go Together?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What, then, is the path forward? Genuine initiatives in philanthropy would embrace the basics of economic growth and human flourishing known since the birth of classical liberalism, although Adam Smith<\/a> had \u201cnever known much good done by those who affected to trade for the public good\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good governance and measured efforts toward verifiable public health basics, the fostering of energy abundance (including nuclear and fossil fuels) and adaptation to the natural variability of climate change make eminent sense. In the Global South, this could mean partnering with sovereign nations on local priorities \u2014 irrigation in India, use of hydrocarbons in Africa, flood control in Bangladesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gates\u2019s climate volte-face <\/em>underscores a profound irony: the billionaire who sought to engineer the planet\u2019s salvation may now recognise that human flourishing demands less engineering and more economic freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Gates truly means to pivot, he would begin by supporting what history has shown works: energy abundance, resilient infrastructure and economic freedom. The greatest leaps in global welfare occurred when energy, goods, ideas and people moved freely, not when elites sanctioned carbon markets or distributed patents to gene-edited crops and lab-grown food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether the Gates turnaround on climate alarmism marks a true awakening or merely a tactical retreat amid the US Senate\u2019s investigations and DOGE\u2019s dismantling of NGO slush funds, it exposes the fragility of narratives built on technical fixes alone. The answer will shape not just climate discourse, but also the contours of global philanthropy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
