Billionaire software tycoon Bill Gates has pontificated that businessmen who operate in free markets are too greedy and incompetent to reduce concentrations of carbon dioxide that he believes are disastrously heating the planet.

Gates held forth on his anti-capitalist views in an interview published in this month’s issue of The Atlantic.

Gates, who made his billions in free markets, declared that “there’s no fortune to be made” in private-sector attempts to lower CO2 levels.

We are SOOOOO lucky to have brilliant folks (and ultra rich smarty pants) like mr. gates and george soros and nannie bloomers around to let us know just how stupid we are. Sure is easy to let us know that when you just happen to be sitting on stacks of wealth unimaginable by most of us. Hey billy boy. Stick to what you know best. 1's & 0's. Like those in your bank account. Then, STFU.

Capitalism seemed to work well enough for that enormous ego of yours, Bill Gates. Now, if only your intellect would play catch up like YOUR life depended on it... because the degree of stupidity you plan to impose upon everyone else puts their lives and livelihoods in jeopardy.

Gee Mr. Gates why don’t you give all your billions to some world government, give away your products instead of making obscene profits from selling them, sell your mansions, cars boats and planes and give that money to the government as well as get your carbon footprint down to the level of us poor schlubs then buy a Prius and move into a two bedroom house in some working class neighborhood. If you are not willing to do that then STFU. Typical liberal elite hypocrite. We are to give up our liberty to save the planet from a non existent climate crisis while he keeps his billions and flies around on a private jet telling us how to live.

A Russian defector was observed: “Socialists HATE capitalism, but LOVE capital.” If not so damn scary, Gates would be laughable! Private sector is “too selfish and inefficient” to solve AGW/CC. We need more “efficiency” like ObamaCare? Rich liberals are the worst kind of GREED... they want more (power in this case), but demand you have LESS!!! They see us a little more than human livestock, which they “own”. Gotohail Bill Gates!

This SOB stole or paid others to produce the technology that created his wealth.

More idiocy from this clown:

"The world's richest man, Bill Gates, has said that the private sector is too selfish and inefficient to produce effective energy alternatives to fossil fuels."

Bill Gates says that capitalism cannot save us from climate change

I would say that Bill should reduce his income to $100K a year and donate the rest to save the planet. Hey Bill, what’s more important? Your wealth or the survival of all living and future living souls on this planet? C’mon man, think about it!

Obviously this jackass knows little about the real world. making money means you get to be heard - for Gates that’s a curse.

What global warming? Antarctic ice is INCREASING by 135billion tonnes a year, says NASA
express.co.uk ^ | Mon, Nov 2, 2015 | Jon Austin

Posted on 11/2/2015, 8:08:07 AM by GonzoII

A NEW Nasa study of the Antarctic from space has thrown the case for climate change into disarray after finding that more new ice has formed at the Antarctic than has been lost to its thinning glaciers.

The US space agency research claims an increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is “currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from melting glaciers.

Global warming theories have been thrown into doubt after Nasa also claimed current horror predictions into future sea-level rises may not be as severe.

Major studies previously made the case for global warming being a man-made problem, including the the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2013 report, which said that Antarctica was overall losing land ice.

But a Nasa spokesman said: “According to the new analysis of satellite data, the Antarctic ice sheet showed a net gain of 112 billion tons of ice a year from 1992 to 2001.

“That net gain slowed to 82 billion tons of ice per year between 2003 and 2008.”

Oh I see once Billy Boy has made his money in a capitalist system he wants to shut down the very system that gave him his wealth. Guess Billy does not want ANY COMPETION? He’s a CONTROL FREAK that wants more power.

If this Rat really believed in the BS he is saying, then he should practice what he preaches by give up 75% of all his money, company ownership, investments, properties AND asserts..... Although don’t hold you breath for this lying control freak to do that. No it’s only for the slaves.
