. If you recall, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation pledged $7 billion back in November to improve health, agriculture and gender equality in Africa. Bill Gates recently defended his private jet travels noting his many investments in carbon-capturing technologiesAdditionally, Gates’s Breakthrough Energy Group, which he founded in 2015, invested in Climeworks last year. The Swiss-based company is currently working to reduce CO2 emissions by capturing and removing them from the air using renewable energy sources. They then store the greenhouse gases underground where they no longer pose a threat to global warming.
Gates later doubled down on his private jet usage in the interview saying, “I’m comfortable with the idea that not only am I not part of the problem by paying for the offsets, but also through the billions that my Breakthrough Energy Group is spending, that I’m part of the solution.”
