Bill Gates has said he’ll carry on using private jets and campaigning on climate change, per CNBC.

“I spend billions of dollars on ... climate innovation,” Gates tells the BBC. “So, you know, should I stay at home and not come to Kenya and learn about farming and malaria?”

“Well, I buy the gold standard of, funding Climeworks, to do direct air capture that far exceeds my family’s carbon footprint,” he said.

He said that he was: “comfortable with the idea that, not only am I not part of the problem by paying for the offsets, but also through the billions that my Breakthrough Energy Group is spending, that I’m part of the solution.”

“What the rich countries owe to the entire world is that they need to get their emissions down to zero as fast as they can,” he says.

“They also need to invent new approaches so that the cost of being green, the cost of not having emissions in all areas, gets down to be zero.”

“So a new way of making cement or steel, you know, electric passenger cars, that’s all in the rich countries.”
