On CBS, Gates Labels Climate Threat Response ‘Greater’ Than Deadly COVID

[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS This Morning on Friday promoted the alarmist claims of Bill Gates, not objecting to his incendiary assertion that the response to fighting global warming will have to be greater than the deadly COVID pandemic. The Coronavirus has killed 2.3 million people worldwide. That should have been pointed out. It wasn’t. CBS previewed this Sunday’s 60 Minutes in which the Microsoft founder will be allowed time to promote his book How to Avoid a Climate Disaster. After Cooper offered up this softball, “You believe this is the toughest challenge humanity has ever faced,” Gates responded, “Absolutely. The amount of change, new ideas, it's way greater than the pandemic. And it needs a level of cooperation that would be unprecedented.”
