Climate: Time for state to reassess policies
Re: “Bill Gates calls for climate fight to shift focus from curbing emissions to reducing human suffering” (Oct. 27, Climate Lab):
Now that Bill Gates has repudiated his own apocalyptic predictions for human harm from global warming, or climate change, or climate crisis or whatever he now calls it, is it not time for Washington state to reassess its “carbon” and “climate” policies?
The impact of the Democrats’ “climate” policies and taxes hurt all Washingtonians, most especially those who are low income. High gas and utility prices hurt blue-collar people the most — and as Bill Gates must now concede, to what end?
