Amazon founder Jeff Bezos said Monday that he plans to spend $10 billion of his own fortune to help fight climate change.
Bezos, the world’s richest person, said in an Instagram post that he’ll start giving grants this summer to scientists, activists and nonprofits working to protect Earth.
“I want to work alongside others both to amplify known ways and to explore new ways of fighting the devastating impact of climate change,” Bezos said in the post.

I would say it's HIS money if he wants to waste it, but giving billion$ to "scientists, activists and non-profits"
will enable the climate change FRAUDSTERS to keep pushing the lie that we know it is.

All that money given to “scientists, activists, and non-profits” will enable them to fly all over the world and increase their carbon footprint!

Under the guise of a donation to climate change, he is funneling money somewhere.

Awesome, baby!
Maybe you can start by aksing Climate Scientists what the present makeup of our atmosphere is and what the optimum CO2 level for our atmosphere should be.

Is the money committed by contract or is this a publicity stunt?

I would guess the gambit is a way to transmute taxable corporate money into some kind of tax break in the form of contributions.
It’s either or....... government or climate change

Under the guise of a donation to climate change, he is funneling money somewhere. I agree... Bezos may not be a genius, but he is too savvy to actually be a true believer in absolute nonsense. Something else is going on behind the scenes. Whatever it is... it is not virtuous and he is getting some kind of return. It might have something to do with our brilliant Governor Dimsley and his cabal of buffoons that are in charge of all three branches of our state government. Washington has been invaded by outsiders in the last 50 years.
To: red-dawg
Ok, so what sort of tax benefit does he get from doing this?

I'm going to apply for a $5 million grant to study cow farts.
I will measure the CO2 level in my pasture. Then sell my Angus herd. Then measure the CO2 level in my pasture again and report the difference.
That's highly scientific and accurate data and should be worth the $5 million grant.
