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.
Insufficient opportunities to signal your virtues. That on top of actually doing something instead of talking about doing something.
Talking about doing something is far more important when it comes to signaling virtues.

We could set off 2000 nuclear bombs across the globe, slip into nuclear winter, and some on here would still say humans can affect the climate.
Would that help with the 6 months of mugginess in South Louisiana?

So this guy starts a company that now requires tons and tons of cardboard to be made by the evil plants polluting the air and the river, As well as making those plastic air bubble things they put in the box, which had to be made from a chemical plant, once again polluting the air and rivers, and then he decides to buy his own fleet of delivery trucks which pollute the air every second of the day if they aren’t electric and if the are electric then those batteries will do the polluting on top of the coal power plant that provides the electricity to recharge it, on top of the fact those vans had to be made by some facility who also pollutes the earth with their own factories as well as the many factories that make components for them.
Without oil and gas, as well as trees, his business doesn’t exists.
Thanks for giving back I guess, dumbass.
As others have mentioned, that $10B would be much better served to find a cure to cancer and Alzheimer’s and the many other terrible diseases that will plague every family in America at some point.

what a strange thread
I hear many criticize the wealthy for talking down to people about climate change or whatever cause, but not really doing anything (and I agree, virtue signalling is worthless)
and now we have a billionaire who is donating $10 billion to a cause that he believes in, and yet, he still gets criticized

Way to bring a no-bias link to the discussion. But your Link did mention that it was consensus that man can warm the planet

I never said it wasn’t. I just said it wasn’t 97%

I’m just pissed that paper straws are still a thing because one stupid fricking turtle tried to snort one.

My favorite test to weed out those types of people when it comes to climate change, pollution, etc. is to bring up LFTRs (thorium salt reactors). Most "environmentalists" of the virtue signaling type either give me a dumb look or immediately go "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE NUCLEAR BAD REEEEEEEEEEE".
Actually brought it up with my niece's rabid environmentalist boyfriend. Dude immediately goes, "you know about LFTRs?" I was impressed the grasp he had on what it took to power a stable grid, how wind and solar wasn't going to cut it, and what options were out there for safe, green power production. Guy has seriously done his research and he walks the walk, and comes at it from a 100% rational and reason-based perspective. Was a breath of fresh air to say the least.

There’s a consensus among the scientific community that humans need to think they can influence the climate so that fools like Bezos can give grant money to charlatan's like us so we don't have to suck cock to eat.

Good. Then that mean the government doesn't need any money from us. Thanks Amazon.

Except, the hardcore environmentalist movement is all about population control (and decline). Eradicating these diseases will exacerbate the climate problem.
