Bill Gates once again shilling for Monsanto using climate change as his excuse

Rather than feed 500,000 people, Bill Gates chose to buy 500,000 shares in Monsanto! Unfortunately as sea levels rise, the areas in which many starving people live, are going to be under salt water! No amount of GMO trickery will solve that problem.

Already fresh water reserves are being inundated by sea water in Lagos, fastest growing city in the world and already home to many climate change refugees. Areas in Alaska have already seen people moving their village to higher grounds as Permafrost melts. Many island nations are planning moving their entire populations to other countries as the sea level rises and fresh water supplies dwindle. The situation in Greenland continues to worsen and the Arctic loses even more ice. Increased acidification of the oceans is detected in locations around the world. Coral reefs shrink in size and are found to produce ever softening structures. Unusual and severe weather events are seen across the globe. Parts of Russia prepare for one of their coldest winters on record, while Germany has just experienced a rather warm start to winter with rivers falling to such low levels bombs from WW2 are exposed. Many, many more events too, but let's not go on forever.

Rather that rise to occasion and fund renewable energy projects and help educate farmers about the beniftits of organic and diversified crops, folks like Bill Gates cash in instead. For many who want to increase their already massive wealth, further their political careers, or gain a strangle hold on particular markets, anything that benefits the people and frees them from debt and burden is thrown out the window, along with morals, values, any sense of responsibility or any sense of compassion for the world and humanity. Helping fund food for the starving people of African nations ravaged by drought didn't occur to Bill, no instead lining his own pockets and continued promises of this "miraculous" technology that is supposed to one day feed the starving masses seemed more logical? I prefer to not succumb to the flawed logic of setting myself up at the cost of my fellow living creatures.

Great article, thanks for posting.

It's just like antibiotics.
Attempting to trick nature produces supergerms and superweeds.
Attempting to "fix" the atmosphere with bioengineering will destabilize it even further as climate scientists are finding.

Good Post. I guess everyone needs to start keeping even closer tabs on this guy. A multi-billionaire whose adopted whole-sale an evil agenda, has a very strong likelihood of being able to carry it out.

the only way to stop starvation is to educate the masses instead of dumbing down them

These GM seeds which are bound to their toxic herbicides which are now failing and causing superweeds and toxicity of our waterways cannot be saved by farmers who are bound to technology agreements. Their prices are exhorbitant for farmers and in India have resulted in over 250,000 farmer suicides besides dead livestock. Their contamination is global. They have also taken the livelihoods of farmers through transgenic contamination for which Monsanto has stated they are not liable for. Monsanto is an outright evil company using GMOs clearly as a profit making scam and Bill Gates is then no better than they are.

Monsanto is also exacerbating climate change in deforesting huge swaths of land in Argentina, Paraguay, etc., in order to plant GM soy and corn used to feed cattle, not people. We do not need GMOs to feed the world. With one billion plus hungry people on this planet even WITH them, it is proof positive they are not in this to save peoples’ lives or “feed” them but to keep them in control. Lack of access to food is the main driver of hunger in this world. That and lack of access to food sovereignty (sustainable agriculture) in developing nations. Bill Gates is an accomplice in a world wide monoculture/environmental crisis and what one day could become a monoculture famine. I give him no credit for this.

Monsanto is already being sued for biopiracy in India as they are stealing traits from drought tolerant crops and claiming them as their own through patents. Patenting nature is also not the move of any company looking to feed anything but their own bank accounts and they are now using climate change as their reason for pushing these seeds in countries where farmers do not want them. Global resistance to GMOS is vociferous because they are a danger to our planet and our health. Bill Gates can play ignorant on this all he wishes. Those who know about this will not be silent in allowing him, Monsanto and other companies pushing these dangerous seeds on the world to now use climate change to do it.
