Bill Gates contributes $700,000 to preserve California's climate change [hoax] law - Capitol and California - fresnobee.com

Bill Gates, the nation's wealthiest man, has donated $700,000 to the campaign opposing the rollback of the state's landmark climate change law, said Steve Maviglio, spokesman for the campaign against Proposition 23.

Gates, Microsoft Corp.'s co-founder, is the latest high-tech billionaire to back the state's four-year-old greenhouse gas reduction law.

Last week, Google Inc. co-founder Sergey Brin contributed $200,000 to the No on 23 committee while Intel Corp. co-founder Gordon Moore contributed $1 million.

During the past year, the No on 23 commitee has raised more than $27 million, dwarfing the $9 million raised by the Yes on 23 committee.
