Bill Gates Stuns Climate Debate: “I’ll Sacrifice 0.1°C to Eliminate Malaria” – What You Need to Know
Bill Gates urged a shift in climate funding from emission cuts to fighting poverty and disease, saying he’d accept “a tenth of a degree” more warming to eliminate malaria. UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned the world will overshoot the 1.5°C target without rapid action. Climate scientists criticized Gates’s memo, insisting both emissions cuts and human welfare are needed. COP30 in Brazil will debate adaptation versus mitigation this November.
