Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who earlier this year pledged to donate $10 billion of his own money to help fight climate change, on Monday announced initial grants totaling $791 million for 16 different environmental groups.
The recipients includes a number of prominent groups that deal with global warming, including ClimateWorks Foundation, Environmental Defense Fund, Natural Resources Defense Council, Union of Concerned Scientists, World Resources Institute and World Wildlife Fund.
"I've spent the past several months learning from a group of incredibly smart people who've made it their life's work to fight climate change and its impact on communities around the world. I'm inspired by what they're doing, and excited to help them scale," Bezos said in a post on Instagram.
Some of the funds will be used for specific projects. The Environmental Defense Fund, which received $100 million, said it would use the money to launch a satellite that measures emissions of methane, a greenhouse gas with roughly 30 times the warming potential of carbon dioxide.
The Union of Concerned Scientists said it would use its $15 million grant to advocate for updates to the U.S. electrical grid and electrify commercial trucking, a major source of emissions.

Bezos, you are not going to be able to buy redemption. You had an affair on your wife, and left your family. You are not a good man.
His first target is the industrialized nation, called America... the very place he got his money from.
He needs to target the undeveloped world, the world of the “UN”. They are the fastest growing with zero standards and the greatest emissions issues. Add in China.
What he needs to do is GIVE all his money to the marxist muslim coalition (the “UN”) seeking global dominance.
Give brother, GIVE until it hurts!
I suppose there’s a change that one or more of the recipients will do something helpful for the environment with the donations. I support wildlife conservation and habitat restoration, for example.
...to advocate for updates to the U.S. electrical grid...
Obama said your electricity prices would necessarily skyrocket. Now Bezos is stuffing his money into Obama's mouth.
Its amazing how these pukes America made and they seek to destroy her and the people who made them.

I believe it was a character in a Kurt Vonnegut novel who said "to hell with you Jack, I've got mine!"
The only group that does that which Bezos is giving some money to is Nature Conservancy. But that's still mostly money for the elites who still get the benefits of their land, at the very least an exclusive view and to keep the commoners like you out.
https://www.nature.org/en-us/newsroom/bezos-earth-fund-pledge-tnc/ So it looks like they will buy some easements or land with the money. But they also want to do climate change bullshit.
No they don’t give a flying frig about the environment.
It has NEVER been about the environment.
It’s about wealth redistribution and destroying the US.
We just watched a COUP and you’re looking for the bright side because Marxist billionaire is pushing the destroy America policy by inventing “climate change”???
It’s great you care about the environment.
Trust me they DONT CARE AT ALL.
Dr Evil up to more evil.
Bezos isn’t seeking redemption.
he’s funding the greatest grifters in the manmade gloBULL warming scam.
no-one has fared better during the lockdowns than Bezos.
the climate scam is all about a permanent lockdown of the western economies, while everyone buys everything online.
nice going, Bezos.
“I support wildlife conservation”

So do most Americans. But this isn’t the plan of these globalists. They use these causes to get people on board.
My suggestion is to look up articles and videos about the “great reset.” Listen to these people in their own words.
Its horrifying.
The hot hoochie mamma he left his wife for?
She hears things up.
How about he makes his thousands of delivery drivers actual employees, and pay them a decent wage comparable to UPS and FEDEX drivers?
All those thousands of Amazon vans you see, that say AMAZON right on the side, are being driven by “contractors” (wink wink) run by 100s of “independent” firms (wink wink) who pay sh1t wages and can fire the drivers at will for any or no reason.
The world’s richest man should not be such a miserly hypocritical bastard to his own employees.
Now Bezos runs his own sweat shops in Communist China, ships them to the USA on Communist ships, and transports the products around the USA and to your door using non-union low-wage no-benefits drivers.
But he also owns the country’s 2nd biggest newspaper, so he has nothing to worry about.
Still shopping on Amazon?
Good news! Your noose will arrive with free next day shipping.
“”Some of the funds will be used for specific projects.””
Well, that would be really great...
How did a man so stupid get so rich? I’m sure the Clinton Foundation(s) are on the receiving end of some of that money also - as are all other foundations in this country for the purpose of siphoning off funds into their own pockets! Some racket!
How did a man so stupid get so rich?
he was persistant ...
His dim buddies ..all with some connection to the government ...who will likely be the end recipient..thank him.
They all have good salaries, and benefits, better than the average American ..but who doesn’t want even more money?
Money
I think that when liberals say environmental conservation they mean cordon off millions of acres of land and not maintain it so it results in massive wildfires.
