RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
[CLIP BEGINS]
BILL GATES: “The actual economic and death toll from climate change will be much, much, much greater than what we have than what we have with this pandemic.”
[CLIP ENDS]
Jedediah Bila: “Ominous Bill Gates warning back in August that climate change would be worse for humanity than Covid-19. Seemingly setting the stage for his book release on the climate fight next month.
Now he is being slammed for taking part in a four billion dollar bid for the world’s largest private jet company. Here to discuss is executive editor ofClimateDepot.com. Marc Morano. Welcome to the show. This is what hypocrisy looks like. How does someone like this get away with one thing and doing another over and over and over again, not just him but others in celebrity culture like him?”
MARC MORANO: “Others have been doing this for years. Bill Gates has been doing this for years. Bill Gates, this is 1.6 million private jet flights a year that he is going to be bidding to sort of service and take over. He was listed in 2019 as the number one carbon footprint of all the celebrities. He beat Al Gore, Jennifer Lopez. He beat Bernie Sanders and a bunch of others that have, Harrison Ford. He came out number one, Bill Gates.
He has a new book coming out about the climate crisis what we can all do. He spoke to the World Economic Forum and claimed we have to change every aspect of our lives to fight global warming but Bill Gates is not willing to do it. The last estimate in 2010 he paid $30,000 a month in his electricity bill at his home. Since he is now recently bought a 43 million-dollar oceanfront property, not very worried about sea-level rise apparently. He gets away with it, that is what the climate leaders do. Whether talking about Leonardo DiCaprio, U.N. Officials there is no accountability for their personal actions but they want to impose this on the rest of us.”
BILA: He gets away with it he often remains unchallenged, others do as well. Interview with Bill Gates in 2019. This is a quote from the interview. “I’m investing climate change very broadly substantial amount of monies. I don’t think anyone is doing more. If there is whoever that is congratulations.: That he is investing more he is practicing behaviors that admit what into the air. Private jet in terms of carbon emissions I’m sure the numbers are pretty high.”
MORANO: “Private jet travel is 40 times the ‘carbon footprint’ of a commercial airline traveler. What he saying investing he is investing in helping to restrict and regulate everyone else’s lives. When he talks about investments in wind and solar, they’re mandating wind and solar before it is energy and banning fossil fuels proven they work. Gates is behind our restrictions, economic restrictions energy restrictions.
Same thing with the lockdowns. Bill Gates just said we need to continue lockdowns on bars, restaurants, small businesses. Meanwhile, the billionaire class is reaping benefits of lockdowns — his pals from Amazon, Walmart, all other big box stores. What is interesting climate activists are calling for flying only when it is “morally justifiable” as the new normal post-pandemic. Bill Gates is in on that. He is saying well business travel he expects 50% reduction. So now if you want to fly commercial, if you’re not Bill Gates or Leonardo DiCaprio or Al Gore, you need to come up with a “morally justifiable” reason. This is what the climate activists are doing. Crushing the airline industry, by boosting private planes. They’re living one way for themselves and imposing whole another set of austerity on the rest of us.”
BILA: “Yeah, you mentioned those mandates. We know mandates when it comes to clean energy don’t work if the marketplace isn’t ready to meet them. Thank you for being here, Marc. We appreciate it.”
MORANO: “Appreciate it.”

Bill Gates House – Lake Washington, WA: “When Bill Gates began building his new home on Lake Washington near Seattle, expectations for the dream house ran high. After seven years of construction, the 45,000-sq-ft residence has been appraised at more than $53 million. Not surprisingly, the typical monthly electric bill is also expensive — it averages$30,000.
Because of this expense, Gates needed a way to monitor and track his electrical use down to the subpanel level…Visitors wear small electronic pins coded with their preference for room temperature, visual art, music, television programs and movies. Computers track the pins as visitors travel from room to room. All floors, driveways and walkways at the Gates residence are heated, and a 10-car subterranean garage electronically transforms into a basketball court.
Automated security systems and hidden cameras cover every inch of the grounds, and floor sensors track visitors to within six inches of their location. More than 100 electricians were involved in the installation of these systems. Many miles of communication cable — mostly fiber optic — connect computer servers throughout the house, yet no electrical outlets are visable. Operating and maintaining these electrical systems is a huge job…”

Bill Gates explains how cutting CO2 emissions means transforming nearly every aspect of our lives
In 2018, an average human emitted less than five tonnes of CO₂ overall. But this hides vast differences in individual contributions. In the case of air travel – the most energy-intensive human activity, no other human activity consumes as much energy in such a short time – the global average is 115kg CO₂ per person per year. Yet the vast majority of humanity never fly. This average is created by the staggering emissions of the richest proportion of humanity. I calculated that Bill Gates, for example, causes at least 1,600 tonnes of CO₂ to be emitted into the atmosphere – and this is from flying alone. https://theconversation.com/these-celebrities-cause-10-000-times-more-carbon-emissions-from-flying-than-the-average-person-123886#:~:text=This%20average%20is%20created%20by,this%20is%20from%20flying%20alone.
BILL GATES, JENNIFER LOPEZ AND PARIS HILTON AMONG CELEBRITIES WITH ‘HARMFUL’ CARBON FOOTPRINTS, STUDY FINDS
Bill Gates, the Microsoft billionaire, was found to have the biggest carbon footprint of the 10 celebrities whose travel habits were examined by the study.

Bill Gates: ‘Shutting down’ economy ‘nowhere near sufficient’ to stop climate change – ‘Simply shutting down is not going to get to our goal’ of net zero – Bill Gates, the 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: “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.”
Bill Gates: ‘Climate change has the potential to be even more devastating’ than COVID – ‘We need to get to zero net ghg emissions in every sector of the economy within 50 years’ – Gates: “As hard as it is to imagine right now when we’re still in the middle of the pandemic, climate change has the potential to be even more devastating.”
Bill Gates: ‘COVID-19 is awful. Climate change could be worse’
Bill Gates: ‘Climate Change’ Deaths Will Match COVID-19’s In 40 Years – Claims COVID’s ‘misery’ will ‘happen regularly’ if climate change is not stopped – “If you want to understand the kind of damage that climate change will inflict, look at COVID-19 and spread the pain out over a much longer period of time,” the Microsoft co-founder wrote on his blog Tuesday.
“The loss of life and economic misery caused by this pandemic are on par with what will happen regularly if we do not eliminate the world’s carbon emissions.”

Flashback: Add ‘climate change’ to death certificates – New study demands ‘climate change’ be added as ‘pre-existing condition’– Cause of Death? Climate Change. – “Climate change is a killer, but we don’t acknowledge it on death certificates,” co-author Dr Arnagretta Hunter, from The Australian National University (ANU) Medical School, said. “There is second component on a death certificate which allows for pre-existing conditions and other factors.
Warmist Bill Gates Quietly Buys $43M Oceanfront Home in Midst of Pandemic – He must not ‘truly believe the oceans will flood the coasts’ – “Which proves that just like CNN and Barack Obama, Bill Gates is a Climate Change activist who knows it’s all a hoax (and trust me, it is) because no one who truly believes the oceans will flood the coasts would invest 43 million goddamned dollars on a doomed house that sits right on the ocean.”
“The six-bedroom home spans about 5,800 square feet, according to the listing, the Journal reported. It has a 10-person Jacuzzi overlooking a fire pit, a long oceanfront deck, limestone flooring and a swimming pool,” reports the New York Post, but the real news is that these people don’t even care anymore.
