Bill Gates is a “super emitter” of carbon dioxide, with one of the largest carbon footprints in the world, according to an article published yesterday by the liberal magazine The Nation.
The Nation article is titled, “Bill Gates, Climate Warrior. And Super Emitter.” The article observes, “According to a 2019 academic study looking at extreme carbon emissions from the jet-setting elite, Bill Gates’s extensive travel by private jet likely makes him one of the world’s top carbon contributors—a veritable super emitter.”
The Nation quoted the academic study: “‘Affluent individuals can emit several ten thousand times the amount of greenhouse gases attributed to the global poor,“ the paper noted. ‘This raises the question as to whether celebrity climate advocacy is even desirable. As some authors suggest, celebrity climate advocates contribute to controversy, undermining efforts to politically confront climate change.’”
