re: Worlds richest man donates $10B to... Climate Change

So he take 10bill and "invests" in climate change..... But honestly just create another LLC to use for tax purposes.
Who can he send that 10 bill too that can effect change short of Mother Nature? or maybe Father time? There isn't a guy (other than Al Gore) that's standing there with a series of switches with a price tag on them.
Liberals are this weak in the mind. This should Blow you away. Wind energy has proven 10 fold that it burns twice the fossil fuels to create the opportunity than it can ever garner in clean energy. The earths climate has went thru proven ice ages and warm ages for billions of years before humans were this developed. What makes us think we can have this kind of impact? 2/3 of the earth is still water and 75% of that is unexplored. Let that sink in. Only 1/3 the planet is being used and less than 33% of that has a consistent footprint.

I think who the 350 (nice) employees are matters more than the number.

I do wish him and other billionaires would focus a ton of their efforts on two environment things:
- Water cleanup in Asia (India and China), trying to pull trash out of those rivers that is going into the ocean
- Re-forestation. Planting millions and millions more trees would be great for our planet.
If they focus on those two things, they won't ruffle political feathers and would do a bunch of good for the world.

Are you referring to the humans in Asia or does god live there? Because humans can’t change the climate.

Money well spent. Will not change one single thing.

$10B? Isn't that like throwing sand at the beach. I remember the number in Obama's effort being in the Trillions to cool the earth by something like a tenth of a degree.
No problem with the man putting up his own money to gain emissions efficiencies. Curious how it will specifically be used.

Or shite, just look south of the border, and invest of massive clean up efforts in Mexico. Hard truth is, poor people don't give a shite about the environment, and are more concerned with important things, like feeding their families/themselves.
No amount of climate change activism will cleanup the burn piles and ravines in Tijuana.

Oh you means things that have been scientifically proven to be issues? Yeah they don’t want to do that because that would involve actually doing things and most environuts usually just want everyone else to do something different.

With 10B you could construct a dozen desalinization plants and dig canals across Africa to irrigate central plains.

Climate change? You seem to be confused. This isn't about Climate change.

It'd be cool if they bought up large swathes of land all over the world, restricted humans from going onto it, and just planted a frick ton of trees.
De-forestation is a bitch for animal ecosystems, CO2 emissions, and oxygen creation.
A billion trees might help

A human breathes about 9.5 tons of air in a year, but oxygen only makes up about 23 percent of that air, by mass, and we only extract a little over a third of the oxygen from each breath. That works out to a total of about 740kg of oxygen per year. This is about seven or eight trees' worth.

Wind energy don't burn baw. Well maybe Louisiana swamp wind might burn but normal wind don't burn.
