The Issue: Bill Gates’ revision of his former stance on the urgency of fighting climate change.
Well, well, well — Microsoft founder and climate-change zealot Bill Gates has had a change of heart (“Gates: OK, sky not falling,” Oct. 29).

He knows he’s milked the climate-change cow for all its worth, and now he’s on to the next big money-maker: artificial intelligence.

He’s acutely aware of the tremendous need for electricity to power Microsoft’s development and deployment of AI.

He’s also aware that this energy won’t come from windmills and solar panels, but from gas, coal and nuclear power plants.

If necessity is the mother of invention, then greed is the father.
