Transcript

I want to like ask if you saw the Bill Gates memo that he put out. A lot of people are talking about this memo. I just want to say Billy G is not my love. You'd think that someone like Bill Gates who started a technology company that's one of the biggest companies in the world, Microsoft, you'd think he'd be really quite strong in the sciences, but actually he is not strong in the sciences. Yeah. He he's now taken a 180 on climate. He's saying maybe this shouldn't be the top priority. Climate is gay. The reality of the whole climate change thing is that you've just had people who

say it doesn't exist at all and then people who are super llamist and saying R is going to be underwater in 5 years. And now obviously neither of those two positions are true. The reality is you can measure the carbon concentration in the atmosphere. At some point if you continue to take billions eventually trillions of tons of carbon from deep underground and transfer to the atmosphere and oceans you will change the chemical constituency of the atmosphere and oceans. You just literally will. And the reality is that in my opinion, we've got at least 50 years before it's a serious issue. I don't think we've got 500 years, but we've probably got, you know, 50. It's

not 5 years. The concern level for climate change is on the order of 50 years. It's definitely not five, and I think it probably isn't 500. So really the right course of action is actually just the reasonable course of action which is to lean in the direction of sustainable energy.
