Bill Gates Gives Up on Saving the Planet: A Turning Point for Environmentalism | The Daily Galaxy --Great Discoveries Channel
 
 
For years, the world’s wealthiest individuals have been at the forefront of the fight against climate change. With their vast resources, billionaires like Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk have funded green energy initiatives, backed carbon capture technologies, and championed climate-friendly policies.
 
Their efforts positioned them as indispensable players in the global environmental movement. But as new reports reveal a dramatic pullback in funding and advocacy, the question arises: were these billionaires ever truly committed to saving the planet, or was it all just a facade?

The recent downsizing of Bill Gates’ climate nonprofit, Breakthrough Energy, marks a turning point in this narrative. Once a powerhouse in climate policy lobbying, Breakthrough Energy has shuttered its policy and advocacy offices, laying off dozens of employees across the U.S. and Europe.

This move signals a broader trend among the ultra-wealthy: a retreat from climate activism as economic and political winds shift. But what does this mean for the future of climate action, and why are the billionaires who once led the charge now stepping back?

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
