Step one...with his obscene wealth Gates buys up US cropland. For growing food? Hardly--there's plenty of taxpayer money to siphon off for these low-carbon crops in the form of subsidies.

Employing huge tracts of farmland, these crops--corn, that is--require large inputs of synthetic fertilizer, herbicides, pesticides, et al. These inputs are manufactured from OIL and so-called natural gas.

Those fertilizers, etc. run off, and have polluted virtually every body of fresh water, and have traveled down the Mississippi to render the Gulf of Mexico an anaerobic dead zone.

Corn is a very thirsty crop, so while Gates is performing his "good deed", he's also contributing significantly to the depletion of aquifers. All this damage--just so he can boast how he's saving the world by flying his private jet on "low-carbon" fuel.

In the meantime, land that might have been used to grow food has been taken out of use. Furthermore, monoculture corn production kills local biodiversity and depletes precious topsoil. On the other hand, if this land were farmed sustainably, using any number of proven regenerative practices, we could be preserving topsoil, restoring biodiversity and recharging our dwindling water resources.
