Morano: "Bill Gates 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." ... 

"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 a 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.”

UK Daily Mail: "The Microsoft boss's company Cascade Investment entered the bidding war for British private jet servicing company Signature Aviation Friday
Cascade teamed up with Blackstone Group to make a $4.3 billion bid 

In February, Gates will release his book 'How to Avoid a Climate Disaster: The Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs We Need'
In it he sets out his plans for how the world can reach zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to prevent a climate crisis
This comes months after he published a blog post lecturing the public that climate change 'could be worse' than the coronavirus pandemic
Signature Aviation handles 1.6 million private jet flights every year
A private jet flight emits up to 40 times as much carbon per passenger as regular commercial flights, according to research"

Dec 2020: Bill Gates, Worth Nearly $120 Billion, Advocates For Keeping Small Businesses Closed Due To COVID - “Bars and restaurants in most of the country will be closed as we go into this wave. And I think, sadly, that’s appropriate.

Flashback Nov. 2020: Bill Gates says more than 50% of business travel will disappear in post-coronavirus world - Gates: “My prediction would be that over 50% of business travel and over 30% of days in the office will go away." Moving forward, Gates predicted that there will be a “very high threshold” for conducting business trips and there will always be a way to work from home.

Climate Depot's Morano: "Decimating the Commerical airline industry with endless COVID lockdown policies won't impact people like Bill Gates, Prince Charles, Al Gore, Leo DiCaprio -- They will continue to fly on (and own) private jets & private jet companies.

Prince Charles: "It is high time we paid more attention to ... the wisdom of indigenous communities and First Nations people all around the world." "We can learn so much from them as to how we can re-right the balance, and start to rediscover a sense of the sacred, because ... Mother Nature is our sustainer," Charles added.

Reality Check: The Myth of Noble Eco-savage - "Native peoples can be as destructive to their environments as anyone else, & that historically aboriginal tribes often changed whole ecosystems by the repeated burning of forests & by hunting animal species to extinction."

Wash Times: Climate Depot founder Marc Morano, who recently released the film “Climate Hustle 2,” called The North Face incident “a prime example of a company pandering to the corporate woke trend.”

“The hypocrisy of North Face refusing to do business with an industry that is essential to their product is breathtaking,” Mr. Morano said. “If North Face wants to prove their stance is more than virtue signaling, they should refuse to sell their clothing to any customers who are employed in any fossil fuel company. Or how about refusing to sell to any customers who used fossil fuels to travel to and from their stores? If not, why not?”
