    EXCERPT:

    GATES: "Well, I -- I -- by the gold standard of funding Climeworks to do direct air capture, that far exceeds my family’s carbon footprint. And I spend billions of dollars on climate innovation. So, you know, should I stay at home and not come to Kenya and learn about farming and malaria? (...) 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."
