Love when these celebrity rich people start their own tax loopholes in the name of good. Such great people.

You brought up the 97%. However it’s most likely in the 80-90 range

The real solution is to plant more weed. Weed cures cancer and it cleans the air. It has been shown to also inhibit plaque growth on the brain which causes Alzheimer's.

No problem with someone giving their own money to a cause they choose.

1.6% unless you are omitting those scientists who abstained. Then that really isn't a consensus, is it?

They surveyed climate experts. Maybe this is why your confused. Scientists and climate experts might not be bunched together:

This is from a 2013 bray and von storch survey of the perceptions of climate scientists on the subject. 7 being very much convinced and 1 being not convinced. The top 3 equal 80%.

The question was on their belief that the recent or future cc is due to human activity.

Right. It's not even a debate. The real debate here is how much we can change the climate, ranging from not much at all to a lot.

Hmmmm…..what's ironic is that humans absolutely, without any doubt, have the power to render life extinct. Yet, accelerating thermal trends is ridiculous.

ok

I don’t deny the climate is changing, I’m just not arrogant enough to believe that humans have any control over it.

It’s cyclic. Science, Baw.

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.



I would agree with this.

He just started a foundation which he controls. He's shifted money from one account to another and will take tax deductions etc.

Good for him. He was pressured by his lib employees and he's confused them with bullshite.
