Bill Gates Wants to Stop Global Warming. He’s Earned Billions From Climate-Polluting Landfills.
---
Gates owns a dominant stake in America's second-largest landfill operator, but he's failed to make the company live up to his own climate principles. Inspectors have repeatedly found excess methane escaping from its landfills.

Bill Gates has no interest in saving the climate any more than he wanted to make good software. His Foundation only serves to a) make him more money and b) make him look good doing so.
Billionaires are not going to save us, nor would we want them to, because they are not beholden to the people. Governments at least *can* be, theoretically. They are not the best solution, but far better than relying on rich people and "the market".
