Bill Gates and His Climate Change About-Face

Tech billionaire Bill Gates has altered the discourse of climate politics by publishing a lengthy memo calling for a rethink on his pet issue, climate change. Gates refers to his latest actions as setting the stage for a “strategic pivot” in climate strategy.

This pivot is being described by the left as an about-face, reversal, or even a retraction. Many are confused and angry over his new revelation. In my mind, Gates’ memo is the closest we will come to hearing him confess there is no such thing as anthropogenic climate change. He actually did something slightly similar some years ago when he and his influencer buddies swapped the term “global warming” for the all-encompassing handle, “climate change.” Back then, liberal environmentalists were panicked by facts that were too obvious to ignore; namely, the earth’s atmospheric temperature was maintaining itself within historical norms as described in my bestseller, Climategate: A Veteran Meteorologist Exposes the Global Warming Scam (2010).

So, “climate change” became the title to scare the world’s idiots into submission.

Bill’s long-winded missive begins with a befuddling claim: “Although climate change will have serious consequences—particularly for people in the poorest countries—it will not lead to humanity’s demise. People will be able to live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future.”

See what I mean? “Climate change…will not lead to humanity’s demise.” This is a far cry from the cataclysmic predictions Bill and friends made back in the day regarding global warming bringing an end to humanity. Clearly, the important books written by me and others—blasting holes into their pet theory of human-caused global warming/climate change—have proven to be more convincing than the left will ever admit.

So now, instead of spending gazillions to supposedly straighten an out-of-control atmosphere, Gates contends more money must be spent to improve living conditions for the world’s poorest. No doubt Gates is all for New York’s Mamdani who was elected Mayor of New York with a similar theme. As for we conservatives, we know the best way to help the down and out is by first exposing the very real dangers imposed by communism, socialism, democratic socialism and tyrannical governments.

In his new plan, Gates highlights what he refers to as three “Truths.” The first is, “Climate change is a serious problem, but it will not be the end of civilization.” Very likely, this was the statement causing President Trump to respond to Bill’s memo with a post on Truth Social exclaiming, “I (WE!) just won the War on the Climate Change Hoax. Bill Gates has finally admitted that he was completely WRONG on the issue.”

Indeed, given a myriad of past gloom and doom statements by Gates, including his 2021 book entitled, How to Avoid a Climate Disaster, this new “truth” seems to indicate even Billy silently concedes that just a few years ago he was full of hot air.

Gates’ second so-called truth states, “Temperature is not the best way to measure our progress on climate.” What a hilarious copout. Obviously, Mr. Microsoft has finally realized he can run but can’t hide from the fact that global temperature has not altered out of its age-old rhythm.

The third claims, “Health and prosperity are the best defense against climate change.” Certainly, health and prosperity are incredibly important issues, but the best defense against climate change?  That’s another nuanced allegation by a guy who refuses to just come out and admit he’s lost a major battle in his efforts to scare the masses into submission. Health and prosperity are the fruits of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in a republic that is by, of and for its citizens.

No doubt Gates published his memo to coincide with the United Nations climate confab, “COP30,” held in Brazil with 50,000 hypocrites from over 190 countries flying in on fossil fueled jets, staying in air-conditioned luxury hotels, and drinking lots of booze (which requires fossil fuels for distillation) as they bloviated about their communist green agenda and other one-world machinations.

Thank you, President Trump, for wisely keeping the U.S. from participating with the blowhards in Brazil.

A Plea For Climate Sanity

It was an absolute pleasure to be a return guest on the Tom Nelson Podcast!

Tom graciously provided me with over an hour to present a PowerPoint presentation based on content found in my book, Climate Cult: Exposing and Defeating Their War on Life, Liberty, and Property.

We discussed everything from the absolute hoax regarding CO2 being a deadly pollutant, to the attempts to modify the climate via solar geo engineering. And, of course, I provided jaw-droppers from the book that convincingly illustrate how direct disciples of Marx founded the modern environmentalist movement.

Not only do I believe you will enjoy this podcast, but I hope you will help get the word out by sharing it.

Thanks, and many blessings to you!

PS: Not surprisingly, YouTube has somehow prevented me from sharing the link to the podcast, so instead I’m linking to Tom’s lesser known Rumble account.

LIVE on Rumble: Kamala, the Ultimate DEI Candidate

In today’s inaugural edition of my livestream on Rumble, I provide information on Kamala Harris, the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party, that you have likely never heard before. My facts come from my many years in San Francisco media where, in some cases, I was provided with inside information regarding Harris.

Kamala is not a cackling, clueless bureaucrat; she’s a political beast with an insatiable appetite for abortion “rights.”

This episode is a must for voter on the fence, and especially for my Christian brothers and sisters who refuse to vote for Trump. PLEASE, take a half-hour to listen to this podcast.  Click here for Rumble.

I plan on going LIVE each Monday/Wednesday/Friday at 9AM Pacific.

The podcasts are also heard on all audio platforms.

Thanks for your prayers and encouragement (I don’t require financial support).

 

Shamed Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s Vengeance Tour: My Front Row Seat

Former Congressional House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is on a vengeance tour designed to oust eight Republican Representatives who voted against him as Speaker. A Political Action Committee (PAC) has been established and funded to support candidates running against these eight members of Congress in the primaries. McCarthy allies have identified three GOP Reps they felt were most vulnerable in primaries: Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), Bob Good (R-Va.) and Eli Crane (R-Ariz.). Nancy easy won her primary, Good’s fate will be determine this Tuesday (June 18), while Crane’s primary in Arizona will be held on July 30.

As many of you know, I have been hosting a radio program in Arizona for the better part of three years. Because of the show’s local popularity, I was asked to  moderate a debate last weekend in Yavapai County, Arizona between Congressman Crane and his McCarthy-backed opponent, Jack Smith. My pointed questions caused Smith to reveal his positions on a number of key issues including climate change (Smith is a believer), Ukraine (Smith is all for more funding) and his association with the pro-McCarthy PAC.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Flor.) tweeted video of one of my questions, bringing even more attention to this very important congressional primary.

In my most recent podcast, I passionately express why McCarthy’s thin skin is contemptible, why his plan won’t work, and why Eli Crane–a former combat Navy SEAL who is dedicated to the will of his constituents–must, and will, win.

I hope you are inspired by the podcast and ask that you share it with fellow patriots.  The Brian Sussman Show is available on nearly all audio platforms as well as Rumble and YouTube.

Confronting the Woke Climate BS at the Wall Street Journal

This post was originally published at American Thinker.

My publisher contacted me this week, drawing attention to a Wall Street Journal article claiming climate change is producing  shortages of “the finer things in life,” like wine, coffee, cocoa, and olive oil. The implication was clear: your carbon footprint is causing the price of these commodities to sharply rise.

“Total bull-bleep,” I replied.

Specifically, the story speaks of the recent drought in West Africa which has resulted in a cocoa shortage; dry spells in Vietnam which have reduced coffee harvests; and parched Italian olive groves and grape vineyards recently destroyed by wildfires.

None of these meteorological events has anything to do with the use of fossil fuels and the subsequent release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Truth is that these regions of the world are historically well known for witnessing wild swings in otherwise natural weather patterns.

As I explain repeatedly in my new book Climate Cult: Exposing and Defeating Their War on Life, Liberty, and Property, such misinformation feeds into an elaborate propaganda campaign designed to frighten the developed world into demanding a carbon-neutral energy grid that would be about as reliable North Korea’s.

Let’s begin with West Africa where the climate periodically exhibits large spatial and temporal variabilities that allow for recurrent droughts, some lasting hundreds of years. In fact, the past couple years of dry weather pales in comparison to the West African droughts in the 1970s and 80s.  As for the cocoa production, a reality missing from the discussion is that global consumers are demanding more cocoa than ever, so a blip in production impacts retail price and availability like never before.

The recent drought in Vietnam is quite serious, but I’m happy to report it’s not being caused by your SUV.  While the lack of rain in parts of Southeast Asia is the worst since the 1930s (a decade which remains the hottest on record throughout much of the world), the drought is associated with an El Nino weather pattern. El Nino, and its sister La Nina, are ancient occurrences that possess the dynamics to both enhance or diminish precipitation, depending on a variety of quite ordinary atmospheric circumstances.

Wildfires feeding on extremely dry vegetation have certainly taken a recent toll on olive groves in Italy and drought has impacted wine production there as well. The journal Nature recently published a study, claiming, “Climate change is affecting grape yield, composition and wine quality. As a result, the geography of wine production is changing.” However, the publication’s editorial bias seems to have caused them to ignore the historical record. The worst drought in modern Italy occurred in the 1920s. However, going back further, that region’s most catastrophic precipitation deficiency began in the 1530s and lasted the better part of a decade. It was so extreme that Protestant reformer Martin Luther wondered if it was a sign of the end times. Clergy in Germany, Italy, and England urged the people to beg God for forgiveness and pray for the deliverance of rain.

As I explain in my book, those pushing the climate agenda employ ad hominem arguments that appeal to raw emotions rather than intellect. And, as I also detail, those on the left aren’t fond of examining history. For them, Karl Marx stated it best in his 1844 book, The Holy Family: “History does nothing; it possesses no immense wealth; it wages no battles.”
