Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has done an about-face on climate change alarmism, recently saying that there are more pressing matters people should be worrying about instead.
The 70-year-old tech billionaire, who has been an outspoken environmental activist for years, said as much in a <a href="https://www.gatesnotes.com/work/accelerate-energy-innovation/reader/helping-the-worlds-poorest-adapt-to-climate-change">&#8220;memo&#8221;</a> published Tuesday titled “Three Tough Truths About Climate.”
&#8220;Climate change, disease, and poverty are all major problems,&#8221; Gates wrote. &#8220;We should deal with them in proportion to the suffering they cause.&#8221;
The businessman admitted that the Earth’s temperature is not the most important factor for improving life on the planet and said the &#8220;doomsday&#8221; view of climate change is “wrong.”

&#8220;Although climate change will have serious consequences — particularly for people in the poorest countries — it will not lead to humanity’s demise,&#8221; Gates wrote. &#8220;This is a chance to refocus on the metric that should count even more than emissions and temperature change: improving lives. Our chief goal should be to prevent suffering, particularly for those in the toughest conditions who live in the world’s poorest countries.&#8221;
Gates added, &#8220;Although climate change will hurt poor people more than anyone else, for the vast majority of them it will not be the only or even the biggest threat to their lives and welfare.&#8221;
He wrote the 17-page analysis ahead of next month’s United Nations climate change conference in Brazil, in hopes of shifting funding away from climate initiatives toward other endeavors he now believes are more important.
Gates insisted that climate change remains a major concern but should be moved lower on the priority list. 
“If you think climate is not important, you won’t agree with the memo. If you think climate is the only cause and apocalyptic, you won’t agree with the memo,” Gates <a href="https://apnews.com/article/bill-gates-climate-change-united-nations-4108f76e746d1e3e13845f33b8ae7007">told</a> reporters of his stance, per Associated Press. “It’s kind of this pragmatic view of somebody who’s, you know, trying to maximize the money and the innovation that goes to help in these poor countries.”
