Billionaire Bill Gates on Tuesday published an essay where he urged philanthropists to donate to causes that aim at ending disease and hunger instead of climate change.
Gates, who has been a major supporter of reducing carbon emissions, said climate change will not wipe out the human race and that past efforts to reduce carbon emissions have made significant progress. However, he said past efforts to invest in climate change had been misplaced.
