So, the original article from Heatmap was a much better written piece. Whatever the fuck this is, is trash. Pure yellow journalism. So, yeah, if you read this, and feel angry, that's the point. It's click bait. Read the Heatmap article if you want a better idea of what's actually happening.

Bill Gates Gives Up on making money out of Climate change.

There, I fixed it for ya.

He promoted gas as "hybrid" clean power, carbon capture and other stupid ventures while using his philanthropic investments as a way of making a killing.

Carbon capture is probably the most egregious of them all. And all parroted by the media he has been influencing, even propaganda stuff like Kurzgesagt.

There are two reasons why you stop corporate advocacy. You've either ran out of money, or the goal you've sought to accomplish, was accomplished. I didn't see him begging in the streets yet. So I guess whatever the end goal of his advocacy war has been achieved.
