Gates-funded project will not 'chop down' millions of trees

Bill Gates has an array of investments in environmental projects, but an article claiming the billionaire philanthropist is financing the deforestation of 70 million acres in North America is false. The claim misrepresents a California-based venture that aims to reduce emissions by burying excess trees removed in controlled burnings, a project Gates is supporting through his investment fund.
