After years of predicting a global warming doomsday scenario, Bill Gates is seemingly walking back those views and prioritizing innovation above alarmism.

Earlier this week, Gates released “Three Tough Truths About Climate,” a memo that marked a striking departure from his previous advocacy. He wrote that ultimately global warming “will not lead to humanity’s demise” and suggested “we should measure success by our impact on human welfare more than our impact on the global temperature.”

Such sentiments mark a dramatic change from his 2021 book “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster.” It predicted that “we are going to have a catastrophic warming of the planet” if we don’t reach net-zero emissions by 2050.

Climate tech entrepreneurs and investors are cheering Gates’ new perspective.
