   • 2021 February 15, Emma Brockes, quoting Bill Gates, “Bill Gates: ‘Carbon neutrality in a decade is a fairytale. Why peddle fantasies?’”, in The Guardian‎^[1]:

     Of the Green New Deal, the proposal backed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that raises the goal of carbon neutrality in a decade, he is flatly dismissive. “Well, it’s a fairytale. It’s like saying vaccines don’t work – that’s a form of science denialism. Why peddle fantasies to people?”
