Smart People Say Dumb Things: Bill Gates Edition

By Norman Rogers

May 20, 2021

Bill Gates has written a book: How to Avoid a Climate Disaster. Unfortunately, the book is a disaster. He doesn’t get past the introduction before making mistakes that negate the rest of the book. He claims Carbon Dioxide emissions must be reduced to zero to avoid a climate disaster. Assuming that CO2 can even cause a climate disaster, about half the CO2 emitted every year is reabsorbed by the Earth – by the oceans and by plants. Thus, you don’t need zero, a fifty percent reduction would stop the rise of CO2 in the atmosphere. It is vastly more difficult to cut out all emissions compared to cutting them in half.

Gates claims we have to deploy solar and wind faster and smarter. I wrote a book about wind and solar with the title: Dumb Energy. There is no smart deployment of wind and solar. They are very dumb and very, very expensive. It is routine for solar to cost five times more than electricity from natural gas. Heavy solar deployment makes it even more expensive due to the use of auxiliary batteries.

Gates says we need to create and roll out breakthrough technologies. That’s called the pie in the sky.

Gates is the fellow who wants to deploy tons of talcum powder into the Stratosphere to combat Global Warming.  He's worse than Algore.

Gates is a business tycoon, not a scientist.

His opinions on the Cult of Global Warming are as relevant as his opinions on the invasion of Europe by the muslims in the 12th Century.

He's probably wrong about those, too.

Wait ... wait ... wait a minute ...
I thought Bill Gates was a medical doctor?
Only a month ago he was lecturing America about vaccines.
Why they are important, who should get them, how many to get, and on like that.
He was lecturing like he is an epidemiologist.

Now to find out he is really a Global Warming expert?
Apparently, Bill Gates thinks he is an 'expert' on just about everything.

Sure!  Just ask him about the Peloponnesian War.

Volcanos emit more CO2 in a year than man has caused in 100 years.
Is Dr. Gates going to fund volcano plugs? To keep them from erupting.
How does he plan to eliminate 100% of forest fires on Earth?
Which cause more CO2 emissions than industry.

I think all that wild sex he had with strippers, hookers, and Epstein's girls, has turned his brain to pudding.
