Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, said the coronavirus pandemic demonstrates that "simply shutting down" the U.S. economy won't bring about net zero carbon emissions to fight climate change.

Gates said the emissions reductions from the pandemic were "quite modest," despite the drastic drop in air travel and car travel.

"Simply shutting down is not going to get to our goal, so just as we need breakthrough innovation for COVID-19, we also need that to get rid of emissions from all the different sectors and bring down climate change," Gates said during the annual meeting for the National Academy of Medicine. "This crosses many areas — how we make electricity, how we make industrial products, grow food, cool our buildings and all of transportation."

Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, said the pandemic has taught humans a lot about climate change, emphasizing that decreased air and auto travel hasn't made a huge impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions to zero.

"The change in behavior, like driving less or flying less is helpful but nowhere near sufficient — 2020 is a great example of this," he said. "We've cut down carbon emissions ... but the reduction in emissions is actually quite modest. When COVID-19 hit, air travel effectively stopped. Car travel last April was half what it was the year before, and even so the international energy agency estimates that the global emissions only dropped about 8% this year."

Gates wants to emerge from his bunker after cleansing the earth of human competitors, to fill it back up with his clones. Heil!

Can’t wait for Gates to shut the fuck up, and for the public to recognize the real agenda that he is pushing.

Gates is from a few generations of eugenicists and population control advocates combined with Malthusian projections of too many people using up the resources. Funny, though, it's always 'their' genes they want to promulgate, and 'your' genes they want to eliminate and they think that the non-selfs should just gladly and peacefully go into that dark night, case closed, while the selfs rule the world. The needful Royal Hierarchies are baked in.

The philosophies have been around since the Industrial Revolution at least in organized ways, but poor old Hitler made them unpopular to espouse until the Globalists have taken up the banner.

Every method they use, though, is not based on reason and persuasion, because one can rightly argue that population is excessive and resources are limited, and that the future might require methods of control, but they ALWAYS use psychopathic techniques of lies, sacrosanct elitism, propaganda, fake science, co-opted medicine, political repression, physical repression and various forms of terrorism and unilateral 'cleansing' to promote the agendas.

That Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum is quite the stereotypical German piece of work. "Order. Vee MUST HAVE ORDER AT ALL COSTS!!"

Exactly. Overpopulation is a myth. Overconsumption/wealth concentration by the elites is, was and always will be the problem. And mark it down, the biggest consumers are ALWAYS the ones telling you that YOU must consume less ( so that they can keep more for themselves).
