Billionaire Bill Gates says we should back away from urgent emissions cuts and bet instead on tomorrow’s tech. But unless that innovation is democratically controlled, it will serve the same interests that caused the climate crisis in the first place.

You know the biggest steps we could take literally right now or any time in the past 150 years to reduce emissions?

Switch to trains and veganism.¹

The tech is not the problem.

The wealthy want a culling, because technology is do efficient that a great deal of the work force has been made redundant. They want us to do nothing about climate change because we have outlived our usefulness and they want to keep stringing us along until we fucking die so we dont kick them off their skull thrones.

So whose side are you on? Humanity and earth, or billionaires?

¹busses and vegetarianism still pretty good.
