Bill Gates Denounces Climate Change – Or Did He?

by | Nov 5, 2025 | Liberty Matters | 0 comments

Last week Bill Gates shocked the world and his global “climate” allies when he stated the “doomsday view” of global warming is wrong.

On his “Gates Notes” website, he stated there are three truths about climate and he began with stating:  “There’s a doomsday view of climate change that goes like this:

In a few decades, cataclysmic climate change will decimate civilization. The evidence is all around us—just look at all the heat waves and storms caused by rising global temperatures. Nothing matters more than limiting the rise in temperature.

Fortunately for all of us, this view is wrong…[i]t will not lead to humanity’s demise.”

His three “new” truths include:

  1. Climate change is a serious problem, but it will not be the end of civilization.
  2. Temperature is not the best way to measure our progress on climate.
  3. Health and prosperity are the best defense against climate change.

Gates’ about-face is hard to believe since he had a decisive hand in engineering the climate crisis narrative.  In his 2021 book, “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster,” he said climate change is one of humanity’s greatest challenges and predicted that it could cause more deaths than the COVID-19 pandemic, which killed millions of people worldwide.

President Trump claimed on TruthSocial: “I (WE!) just won the War on the Climate Change Hoax. Bill Gates has finally admitted that he was completely WRONG on the issue. It took courage to do so, and for that we are all grateful.” 

However, nobody should be fooled with the supposed reversal. Gates’ shift from an all-out climate attack on humans, agriculture, beef, and modern industry to a more “moderate” position can be best summed up – follow the money.  

Maybe his investments in snuffing out the beef industry while standing up fake meat products has not been as lucrative as planned, or he fears exposure for his role behind the scam. Interestingly, he also recently withdrew his support for Arabella Advisors, a left-wing non-profit funding group founded by George Soros. It seems Gates can’t run away from the left fast enough.

In recent meetings with President Trump, the two met to “discuss the importance of U.S. global health programs and health research that is necessary to save lives, protect Americans’ health, and preserve U.S. leadership in the world.”

Notice “climate change” didn’t make the list of topics.  With Trump’s position on renewable energy and his belief that climate change is a hoax, one can only surmise he “negotiated” with Gates suggesting he “soften” his stance on climate change in exchange for Gates spending money on global health and research. We may see Gates support Trump’s “Make America Healthy Again” project to save lives worldwide and protect Americans’ health – his “America First” agenda.

But remember, Gates was instrumental during the COVID-19 breakout donating billions of dollars to pharmaceutical companies to develop vaccines and promote people to isolate and wear masks in order to prevent the spread of the manmade disease.

He’s also been buying up thousands of acres of America’s farm land, uniquely poised to profit off of the food crisis he helped manufacture.

Now he’s saying that while climate change will have “serious consequences” and hurt poor people the most, “it will not lead to humanity’s demise.”  He goes on to say that the biggest problems the world faces are poverty and disease, not rising temperatures.

One other factor for this change of heart might be from a July report by Trump’s Department of Energy, concluding that warming caused by carbon dioxide (CO2) “appears to be less damaging economically than commonly believed, and that aggressive mitigation strategies may be misdirected.”

This caused a shift in the debate over climate change, so like other opportunists, Gates likely realized his climate position needed to be modified to gain the good graces of the Trump administration and have an economically worthwhile relationship.  

ASL has been predicting for years that once the global elites decide they have enough power over our land, food and liberty, they will declare the climate emergency is over. We may be seeing the beginning of that today in Gate’s about-face. 

However, what likely has happened is that the elite’s plan was interrupted by President Trump’s agenda, and Bill Gates pivoted to chase the money.
