Bill Gates To Headline Paris Climate Talks
theodp writes: The NY Times and others report that Bill Gates will announce the creation of a multibillion-dollar clean energy fund on Monday at the opening of the two-week long Paris Climate Change Conference. The climate summit, which will be attended by President Obama and 100+ world leaders, is intended to forge a global accord to cut planet-warming emissions. The pending announcement was first reported by ClimateWire. A spokesman for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation did not respond to a request for comment. Let's hope it goes better than BillG school reform!
Aren't all these climate talks the political/economic equivalent of a BSOD?
Thus, having Bill Gates open up the talks where a bunch of Really Smart People tell us they're going to increase the weekly chocolate ration to 20g from 30g is strangely apropos.

AGW won't necessarily imply chocolate rationing.
No, but the Orwellian nature of anthropogenic global climate non-constant change warming does.
