Claim by President Donald Trump:
President Donald J. Trump claimed on Truth Social that he “won the War on the Climate Change Hoax,” asserting that Bill Gates “finally admitted that he was completely WRONG on the issue.”
Explanation:
This claim is false. Bill Gates has not reversed his long-standing acknowledgment of climate change. His recent climate memo and multiple interviews reaffirm that climate change is real and a serious global threat. However, he urges leaders to focus more on improving human welfare alongside reducing emissions. Gates wrote that climate change “will not lead to humanity’s demise,” but emphasized the need for continued innovation to achieve net-zero emissions and protect vulnerable populations.
Trump’s statement misrepresents Gates’ nuanced position, which calls for balancing emissions goals with efforts to fight poverty, disease, and malnutrition—not denying climate science. No credible evidence supports the claim that Gates recanted his belief in human-caused climate change.
Conclusion:
Fact or Fiction? Fiction. Bill Gates did not admit he was wrong about climate change. He continues to support climate action while advocating for broader humanitarian priorities.
fact check? or left check? here are the facts that this propaganda machine left out…
Gates wrote Tuesday. “Unfortunately, the doomsday outlook is causing much of the climate community to focus too much on near-term emissions goals, and it’s diverting resources from the most effective things we should be doing to improve life in a warming world.”
how’s that for Fact Checking?

Perhaps you missed this part in Gates statement factcheckchecker: To be clear: Climate change is a very important problem. It needs to be solved, along with other problems like malaria and malnutrition. Every tenth of a degree of heating that we prevent is hugely beneficial because a stable climate makes it easier to improve people’s lives.
In other words, saying that Gates thinks Climate Change is now a hoax, like the President, or admits he is wrong about climate change, is a Blatant Lie. You have failed as a factcheckchecker I am afraid. Keep trying.
Trump lies! That is the one thing in this world you can bet on. Always has, always will!
Why didn’t just quote what Gates said?
