The Issue: Bill Gates’ revision of his former stance on the urgency of fighting climate change.
Well, well, well — Microsoft founder and climate-change zealot Bill Gates has had a change of heart (“Gates: OK, sky not falling,” Oct. 29).
He knows he’s milked the climate-change cow for all its worth, and now he’s on to the next big money-maker: artificial intelligence.
He’s acutely aware of the tremendous need for electricity to power Microsoft’s development and deployment of AI.
He’s also aware that this energy won’t come from windmills and solar panels, but from gas, coal and nuclear power plants.
If necessity is the mother of invention, then greed is the father.

Bill Gates’ company TerraPower is developing a “Natrium” reactor, which is one of the most closely watched and advanced reactors.
Gates probably wants a whole lot of credibility when he promotes his “hot” nuclear company, so he’s now telling us he has come to his senses about “climate change.”
All these new AI data centers need unimaginable amounts of power to open, and now President Trump is simplifying the regs, so I am glad Gates had the foresight to invest in this new technology.

Bill Gates, and his climate Nazis have cost the American taxpayer hundreds of billions of dollars, if not more.
Gates now points out that “excessive cold is far deadlier, killing nearly ten times more people every year than heat does.”
Are we now going to be taxed for the new “Ice Age” we are bringing upon ourselves?

Bill Gates is urging us to abandon the “doomsday outlook.”
Why?
It’s bad for business.
Climate activists, misguided by Gates for years, have wasted hours at corporate meetings proposing resolutions to “save humankind” from a climate disaster Gates told them was imminent.
Stupid corporate executives swallowed this scam and pledged millions to fund and promote climate activism.
If corporate executives follow Gates’ new advice, they’ll get back to business by immediately putting the climate activists and their ill-considered resolutions out to greener pastures.

The Issue: NBA gambling scandals involving rigged poker games and illegal sports betting.
There is far too much money and gambling in sports at every level (“Big scam dunk goes bust,” Oct. 24).
The integrity of professional and collegiate sports throughout the ranks is lost. But who cares? These clowns characterized as so-called “professional athletes” are overpaid and overrated anyway.

The NBA’s reaction to gambling scandals involving Chauncey Billups and Terry Rozier reminds me of Capt. Renault’s line in “Casablanca” when he shuts down Rick’s Cafe: “I’m shocked! Shocked to find that gambling is going on in here.”
When looking to place blame, the NBA and all other sports organizations should look in the mirror at their decisions to maximize profits over integrity.

The gambling scandal that rocked the NBA has ruined the integrity of the game.
Of course there was a thorough investigation by the league and FBI, but why wasn’t this stopped sooner?
Who knows how far down the rabbit hole goes, or how many more players, coaches and even teams might have participated in fixing games?
I’ll stick to college games.
At least in those games, the young players give it their very best without making millions.
