Bill Gates released a video arguing that persistent aircraft contrails are “just clouds” but still warm the planet, and that airlines can avoid making them. He framed contrails as a major piece of aviation’s non‑carbon impact and suggested that cutting them could shave a meaningful share off warming. The claim touches a nerve. Many Americans distrust top‑down climate fixes from billionaires. They also want straight answers that do not empower unelected global players.

Webmaster Addition: Bill is an idiot. Clouds reflect sunlight back into space, thereby cooling the planet!
