@evan "too much good money has been put into expensive and questionable efforts", agree with this if he means his #nuclear "investments".

@evan Mr Gates is neither a philanthropist nor a climate scientist. He's always been a businessman, with a significant stake in tech biz. Every supposed "good work" he does benefits himself personally.

Framing this as a national choice between climate change mitigation and social justice is self serving nonsense, no doubt designed to distract from the fact AI contributes significantly to #Climate change.

@evan what if we shifted resources away from billionaires and redirected them to fund efforts aimed at preventing disease and hunger.

@evan "past investments fighting climate change have been misplaced, and too much good money has been put into expensive and questionable efforts."
Like maybe these, Bill? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/deep-sky-startup-grant-1.7413954

He's decided he's too bad at climate activism to competently allocate his billions, so... He's decided to continue making allocation choices?

@evan Yeah. Defeatist. Not good.

@evan Remember when Mark Carney was known as the environmentalist banker?
