Bill Gates and Climate Change

I work out at the local YMCA, which unfortunately was founded by a wealthy Republican, and thus, on the way to my favorite machines, I have walk by a set of televisions, one of which always shows Fox News.

As I made may way across the floor yesterday, the topic was reducing our consumption of meat.  On the screen:  “Bill Gates’ decision to go vegetarian will not save the planet.”

Do you think Gates believes that his eating habits alone are going to move the needle on climate change?  Doesn’t it seem more likely that Gates, an extremely bright human being, is trying to lead masses of people to cut meat out of their diets, thus arresting the destruction of the Amazon rain forest?

Apparently, the people who write this garbage for Fox have an extremely low opinion of their viewers’ intelligence.
