Bill Gates: Climate God or Farmland Baron?

Updated: Apr 7, 2021

Bill Gates authored quite a book about climate change called How to Avoid a Climate Catastrophe. Given his nearly infinite resources to promote it, it just may be one of the most important books to be written in quite some time. To help spread the word, I wrote Summary: Bill Gates: How to Avoid Climate Change, in multiple formats and languages, over one hundred pages, which gives you what you need for under $3.00 in many book markets for its ebook forms. Audiobooks cost slightly more.


Until we are masters of technology to support other planets' colonization, we, as a species, are nothing without our environment. Bill Gates lives sworn to prod us to change our ways to avoid mass catastrophe worldwide and encourages research and development in that direction.


Gates also admits he acts based upon another motive, one of getting richer. He focuses on new environmental technologies and happenings. He leads one or more investment groups with that purpose. Cascade Investments, one of his companies, buys farmland for “sustainable farming” --and a lot of it. In 2017 alone, Cascade spent over a half-billion USD to buy over sixty farms.


He invests in Beyond Meat, a plant-based protein operation, and John Deere. He used to have a significant stake in Monsanto. Gates knows that farmland and its products value go nowhere but up.


Gates is not ashamed nor hiding his motives. He wants to help. But he also wants to become more prosperous. He states the “environmental” business will produce more of the world’s richest.


Land ownership, like wealth in general, finds itself in fewer and fewer hands, which seems to be the natural way of the world. The small tend to get swallowed up by the big, often with the help of the government. This will likely result in a greater push for more intensive farming to produce bigger returns. Only about one percent of the

world’s farms control nearly 70% of the world’s farmlands.[1]


Although Gates increases his wealth, his also increases his good deeds, like fighting malaria in Africa, finding solutions for the COVID19 pandemic, and resolving general energy inequality worldwide.


Bill Gates, in his new book, brings much-needed attention and practical proposals for solutions to the climate, energy, and farming challenges we all face.


Yes, he may have excessive influence and control--and wealth--but I can think of people, countries, and governments much worse that I would rather not see in his position.
