hummingbird69 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Bill Gates is one of the worlds biggest douchebags. This guy says he spends a lot in offsets so his use of fossil fuels isn't part of the problem. The whole offset argument is total BS!  His planes are still polluting no matter how much money he spends on others climate control shit.  https://nypost.com/2023/02/09/bill-gates-defends-private-jet-habit-despite-climate-activism/  Bill Gates claims his private jet habit ânot part ofâ climate problem By Thomas Barrabi February 9, 2023 10:16am  Billionaire Bill Gates defended his habit of using private jets for personal travel despite being one of the worldâs most vocal climate activists â testily denying that he is âpart of the problemâ when it comes to climate change. The Microsoft co-founder grew visibly irritated when confronted on the topic during a lengthy interview last week with BBC journalist Amol Rajan. âWhat do you say to the charge that if you are a climate change campaigner, but you also travel around the world in a private jet, youâre a hypocrite?â Rajan asked. âBy the gold standard of funding Climeworks to do direct air capture that far exceeds my familyâs carbon footprint, and I spend billions of dollars on climate innovation. So, you know, should I stay at home and not come to Kenya and learn about farming and malaria?â an annoyed Gates responded. âAnyway, Iâm comfortable with the idea that not only am I not part of the problem by paying for the offsets, but also through the billions that my breakthrough energy group is spending, that Iâm part of the solution,â Gates added. Gates owns at least four private planes, according to a report from the website Private Jet Charter. He is the worldâs sixth-richest individual, with an estimated fortune of $106.7 billion, according to Forbes. Bill Gates argued he offsets carbon emissions despite his private jet travel. REUTERS Climeworks is a Swiss-based company that developed âa way to capture carbon dioxide directly from the air,â according to the companyâs website. Last July, Climeworks announced a 10-year agreement with Microsoft to supply the company with âtechnology-based carbon removal.â Last year, Gates told Bloomberg that he paid Climeworks, which offers individual packages, to conduct âdirect air captureâ on his behalf. âI bought out their capacity and I got volume discount,â Gates said. âI think that may be at $600 [per ton of carbon emissions].â Bill Gates defended his private jet use, saying he âspend billions of dollars on climate innovation.â Getty Images The billionaire founded Breakthrough Energy in 2015 as an umbrella company for his investments in sustainable energy and carbon-cutting technologies. In December, Reuters reported that Gates has invested more than $2 billion toward climate-related technological development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at the very least go cold turkey on watching the mostly moronic shit that just seems to daily plague the ESPN network. Maybe if I can just cut down to one hour of ATH and PTI, that would help...  4 hours ago, Stryder1978 said: ...I cut the cord three years ago, I stopped watching ESPN (except for college football games) well before that when they started taking cues from Disney and their woke agenda. I don't watch ESPN's news and gabbing shows, with the exception of PTI.

Bong-Man Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Just saw an article about how the average temps in Michigan rose almost 4 degrees in the last century. This prompted a discussion with a couple friends over beers about the Winters we endured during our teens and 20's. We used to take our cars out a mile on Lake St Clair, passing parked cars of fisherman that never made you aware you were even on the ice. Once the cars thinned out a bit, you'd still see random vehicles a 1/2 mile out fishing from their cars with the door open. Every household had ice picks and ramming rods for the yearly Spring ritual of getting rid of the two tracks of ice that built up through the Winter so you could drive safely down your street. Now? We haven't seen anything close to that in 30-40 years. The whiskey runners who drove their model Ts across the ice from Canada to supply America booze during Prohibition would need pontoon boats now. Call it climate change, global warning, or explain it away as some type of natural cycle, whatever makes you feel better, but it's happening.    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul carruthers Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 In the "more depression" column, I see a blurb on one of the news networks that Pumpkin head is now planning to fight a subpoena, which prompted me to ask, is there anything the Teflon Donald can't do or say that won't get his ass prosecuted. I imagine if an average Joe like myself tried pulling half the shit he has done, I would be on solitary confinement, and would be lucky to get a required meal from the guards... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
