every humans living in this planet have their role to play in order to safe mother earth.....not just the rich....

I think it's awesome that they're directing a lot of money towadrs these issues. Sort of like earn it from the consumer population and invest in things that will be beneficial to all.

I like your channel. But I get frustrated with yet more climate change propaganda. The single biggest threat to human survival is not the production of a gaseous molecule that all plant forms require in abundance to grow. The biggest threat is having the global public mindset channeled into a red herring for the direct purpose of directly taxing them for the planets problems. Its a shift of blame away from the raw greed and exploitation and direct poisoning of the ecosystem by mega corps.

@xSilverPhinx So like taxes but instead of people voted for by the public it's a few private individuals that get to decide what to do with the money. Yeah that's awesome...

@knowltz83 Who are the trillionaires.....I doubt there are any trillionaries, Bill Gates is a smart man and knows with all that money he has the power to help people and to be something more than just a rich person. You didn't live if you don't die feeling accomplished. He gives a damn, and we all should. Earth is our home. You don't have to be rich to change the world, anyone can do it not just rich people or celebrities. You are capable of greatness also.

@knowltz83 who gives a damn about what their motives really are? Even if its for personal glorification what does it matter? At least their doing SOMETHING that just might help to make a difference rather than being an armchair critic like yourself!

You really think the ultra poor in africa give a DAMN about Bill Gate's motives for giving them food and medication and a basic education?

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!!!!  Thank you private supporters of the planet.

This video is complete BS, and an insult to my intelligence. In order to be part of the 'billionaire' club, you have to abide by certain rules. To have that kind of sick sensation to need all of that money shows psychological issues, possibly psychopathy, or sociopathy. So they put on a smile, and hide under so-called 'philanthropic' agendas whilst being obedient to another agenda.

Lets not forget that there are handfuls of trillionaires that make these guys look like African children.
