NEVERMIND: Bill Gates Recants Climate Doomerism — The Climate Realism Show #180

NEVERMIND: Bill Gates Recants Climate Doomerism — The Climate Realism Show #180

Author: The Heartland Institute November 4, 2025 Duration: 1:23:44

After years of funding and fueling climate panic, Bill Gates has done an about-face. In a new 17-page memo released ahead of COP-30 in Brazil, Gates admits that rising temperatures will “not lead to humanity’s demise” and urges the climate community to drop its “doomsday outlook.” This marks a stunning shift for one of the world’s most prominent climate influencers and could signal a long-overdue return to honest, fact-based climate discussion.

In Episode #180 of The Climate Realism Show, hosts Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely break down what Gates’ reversal means for climate policy, science, and the green tech industry. They also cover the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including a new study showing wind turbines are even worse for birds than previously believed, claims that climate change is to blame for higher Halloween candy prices, and why attributing the intensity of Hurricane Melissa to global warming is misguided.
