Entering the Gates of Lies: Unmasking the Climate Version of Theranos
https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2026/08/14/entering_the_gates_of_lies_unmasking_the_climate_version_of_theranos_1199986.htmlOne of President Trump’s campaign promises was eliminating climate scams. As net-zero climate policies fade into the shadows, another climate scam is biting the dust.
Bill Gates’s daughter, Phoebe Gates, may not have her father’s entrepreneurial talent, but she, too, frequently peddles climate alarmism. Mr. Gates, however, renounced climate doomerism last year in a widely-shared memo.
A recent media investigation determined the younger Gates and her cofounder, climate influencer Sophia Kianni’s self-described sustainable e-commerce startup, Phia, was fraudulently collecting sales commissions. Phia was marketed as a climate-friendly platform that directed shoppers to secondhand products. Unsurprisingly, the startup created its own climate of lies.
Climate change is a sham.
