COP28: Bill Gates on climate optimism, wealth and the human condition | BBC News
The world’s most important climate meeting is being hosted in Dubai by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) – one of the world’s top ten oil producers.
COP28 is the biggest gathering of world leaders of the year.
King Charles III and Rishi Sunak will be there, along with dozens of other world leaders and some 70,000 other attendees.
One attendee, the billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates, spoke to BBC News.
Gates chose to attend COP 28 to share his message of “funding more innovations that reduce carbon emissions while making clean energy affordable for everyone, help people (especially in poor countries) survive and thrive in a warming world, and continue the world’s progress on fighting disease and poverty,” according to his latest post on his website.

There have been a lot of sanctions programmes against Iran. But this week US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced Operation Economic Outcast, which promises to go further than ever before.
It will punish not just Iran but any country helping Iran – including China. It is the Trump administration’s latest attempt to end the war. Will it work?
We speak to Vali Nasr, professor of international affairs and Middle East studies at Johns Hopkins University, and ask whether in trying to end one war, President Trump risks starting a global trade conflict.

At least 224 people are dead and a state of emergency has been declared after Colombia was hit by one of its largest earthquakes in years.
The death toll is likely to rise, with more feared trapped under collapsed buildings.
The magnitude 7.4 quake struck at 07:34 (12:34 GMT) at a depth of 103km (64 miles) in Chocó province, the country’s geological service said. It was felt across an enormous area, stretching for hundreds of miles across western Colombia.
Many of the deaths have been concentrated in Cali, Colombia’s third most populous city.

I came across a belief that people like Mr. Gates, with their control mindset and poor cultural resources, are only accelerating the collapse (if there is any, but that's another thing). And that we need more holistic approach in general, more Kumbaya singing actually, and not limit ourselves only to do things measurable, to make it more convenient for monetarization, eventually. That belief seems to me more convincing than anything Mr. Gates had ever said.
Nevertheless, I assume he pays well to have such publicity. Billions of eyes are watching.

I have some ideas how to speed up the process of a transition from fossil fuels…
Maybe if each and every country could prepare an:
🕊 extremely ambitious
🕊 yet still realistic
🕊 plan of the green transformation
(with the specialists, engeneers and other smart people… in a month for example…)
And then each country would present its plan to others on some kind of a public conference such as COP…
(There could be some time to compare the plans, talk about the sollutions and share the ideas between the international experts…)
After that each country would present a modyfied, extremely ambitious yet still realistic plan to the public after lets say 2 weeks…
(With a special emphasise of how the rich countries could help and support the poor ones, that are especially voulnerable to the climate change…)
Than the modyfied plans would be presented once again…
And after that the COP alike conferences could be repeated regularly, for example once in 3 months…
In order to monitor and assess the progress, solve the specific problems, make further modifications and share the sollutions…
(and also to educate people, to implement the right daily routines, such as recycling and ways to save water, to find the sollutions for preserving nature and to get funds needed to help the poor countries to adapt to the climate change effects…)
If we all work together in repeating cycles, on public conferences and other meetings, sharing the ideas, talking and cooperating, we could actually solve most of the world's serious problems… 🙂 🙏🙏🙏

Remember poor countries aka Africa this is the same guy who said in 2020 millions and millions of Africans will die if they don't get the vaccines first. I read Africans had zero deaths of covid deaths. His favourite lines are we need to help poor countries so he can go there and do his population control

Always respected a genius who done so well out of his garage yet he literally put me straight to sleep here. I would rather he was talking about the most sophisticated economic vehicle software in the latest cars, his specialist field, than why the COP28 is in Dubai. It caused such a comatose for me I didn't wake up for the follow up COP28 speaker. Seems to be trying here but still no real confidence in finding real solutions…

Several HUNDRED thousand have been executed by your UN appointed "administrator" and still your media is silent about your UN annexation of West Papua

It have become clear to me; cop 28 is not about saving the climate, it is about how one can pretend that one is saving the climate, and also make the rest of the world believe that one really intend to do so !!!

There is no climate change. It’s people like Bill Gates and all the elites poisoning everything/everybody, spraying the skies and trying to take control of the people by talking about “climate change”, one world currency, etc. Jesus is coming soon! They will have their day when God’s wrath comes down upon these evil people unless they repent. End times, ALL BIBLICAL! God just laughs at these evil people. GOD WINS! JESUS IS THE ONLY ONE WHO SAVES, NOT MEN!

To the now KING OF ENGLAND and ALL AT COP 28. FULMINOLOGY CLEAN FREE ENERGY HIDDEN IN ARCHIVES. Dear Prince Charles, Once upon a time, on 11th September 2004 to be exact, a Gran and Granddad were driving back from babysitting their grandchildren when all of a sudden Gran shouted: "WATCH OUT". Granddad was not looking where he was going and nearly crashed the van they were in. Granddad said he was "Sorry, and that he was put off his driving by something that caught his eye up in the sky" Granny looked up into the sky and asked "What is that?" Granddad stopped the van, and they both got out to look. "WOW," said Gran "WOW," said Granddad They were looking at a spaceship, huge, gigantic. Granddad said. "I could hit that with a catapult if I had one" Gran said. "Why doesn't it make a sound? Why are there small thundery clouds rushing inside it?" They watched the spacecraft for over Eight minutes, then it started to move slowly at first, then quite speedily. They jumped back in their van and followed it up the road till it went out of sight towards London. They never saw anyone, nor did they see any traffic pass them at that time. Gran and Granddad told their children and friends what they had seen, and most smiled and laughed at their story, mainly because the area in question has hundreds of cameras close by. If Gran and Granddad's story were true, then it would have surely been seen. Eleven years later on the anniversary of the sighting Granddad woke up early and told Gran he was going to visit the place at the exact time where they had seen the spaceship. Gran said, "Yes, go see if there's anything different?" Wow! He came back saying that the most unusual thing happened. This time there were planes in the sky, maybe four or five planes that he could see at any one time? He told Gran he saw crows flying and geese too, making sounds, Also Granddad counted the seconds for the next vehicle to pass by and could only reach 40 or so seconds then another vehicle would pass? Gran asked Granddad "What does this all mean?" Granddad said, "It means that the spaceship never got caught on cameras because it was speeding in some type of time tunnel,- a Bubble of some kind? and we both traveled in this phenomenon somehow?" "So why was the spaceship there?" said Gran, "So why were we allowed to see it? Was it the future? was it today's technology? Was the thundery rushing clouds on the inside of the Spaceship its camouflage or could it be how it was fuelled?" They have the exact time, the exact place. Surely this spaceship the size of Wembley Stadium would have left a trail somewhere? Somewhere on some radiation counters? Radar? Spectrometers?Gravitational Readings? Gran said, "All they need to do is investigate to find the answers?" Granddad sobbed and told Gran "That because of the size of the spaceship and no camera evidence, there was no way that this story would ever be believed? Because of how important this story is to mankind, and to the future I beg you all to tell your children in the hope that they find out how and why all this happened one day. yours sincerely Michael n Betty FULMINOLOGYTHE FUTURE SAVE THE PLANET Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela is the place on Earth that receives the most lightning strikes. Massive thunderstorms occur on 140-160 nights per year with an average of 28 lightning strikes per minute lasting up to 10 hours at a time. Grid will feed the EARTH-free clean energy for us all.
