Source: The Crucial Years
by Bill Mckibben
“I feel quite strongly that we should pay less attention to billionaires (indeed that’s rather the point of this small essay) so let me acknowledge at the outset that there is something odd about me therefore devoting an edition of this newsletter to replying to Bill Gates’ new missive about climate. But I fear I must, if only because it’s been treated as such important news by so many outlets—far more, say, than covered the United Nations Secretary General’s same-day appeal to international leaders that began with a forthright statement of the science. … In fact, I could probably just note that Gates, with impeccable timing, decided to drop his remarks at the same moment that Hurricane Melissa plowed into Jamaica, doing incalculable damage because of winds made stronger by the ocean heat attributable to global warming.” [editor’s note: Amazing how this screed is timed, even though I agree with the title – SAT] (11/01/25)
