Billionaire Bill Gates has bought and is in the process of renovating a sprawling oceanfront property in San Diego right — where he predicts will be underwater due to global warming..The Microsoft mogul, an ardent supporter of tackling climate change, in a year-end review of 2021, said he was encouraged to hear from leaders investing in the innovations needed to “be at the forefront of any plan to get to zero emissions by 2020.”.“Even if the world hits its goal of net-zero by 2050, we’ll still experience significant warming,” said Gates..“We still have a lot more work to do — even if every commitment made at the COP is fulfilled, we still won’t hit our target of limiting global warming to less than two degrees — and I hope the world builds on the progress made in Glasgow.”.In Gates’ book — How to Avoid a Climate Disaster — released in 2021, he explains why he feels the world needs to achieve net-zero emissions and discusses how rising temperatures will affect people around the world, including rising sea levels. .Global warming alarmists suggest it could be possible to see portions of San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco underwater within decades due to climate change..Estimates for climate predictions from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) suggest by 2100, the sea could rise by six feet, while Zillow estimates 1% of San Diego’s housing would be underwater..A sea-level rise viewer has been made available by NOAA to view potential coastal flooding impact areas..The $43 million, six-bedroom, three-bathroom oceanfront estate, purchased in March of 2020 is the second-most expensive real estate purchase in San Diego County’s history..Gates bought the home in immaculate condition a real estate source in Del Mar told the New York Post, however, the billionaire proceeded to demolish the home, to the chagrin of his neighbours, and has been rebuilding it in hopes of moving in by August..Although several sources have reported on the purchase, including the Wall Street Journal, Forbes and Business Insider, a spokesman for Gates told the Post he “does not own this property and he has never been there.”.Melanie Risdon is a reporter with the Western Standard.,.mrisdon@westernstandardonline.com
