“We will not go into the political arena,”

They probably won’t be going into the “real” employment arena, either-I can’t think of a single company that would need a grad of a climate school/university on their payroll for any reason...

Doerr and Stanford extending the climate hoax.
What a waste of money!
Don’t praise an empty gesture on a fictional problem.
It is for “optics” alone that this “school” has been founded.
Drop Stanford, and every other California school, from your list of admired Universities.

<>Doerr said he was first inspired to address climate change in 2006, after he watched Al Gore’s film, “An Inconvenient Truth,” with his family. He said that, at dinner after the film, his daughter told him, “Your generation created this problem. You better fix it.”<>

The brain-donor algore convinced him.

Time to get a poker game going and invite John Doerr first.

OK. More money for disinformation. But I guess the real question is does money really convince people? Do nonstop advertisements and talking points have they reached their saturation point yet?

If you’re that rich and live in the Bay Area, you just want to be left in peace. So yeah, pretend you really care about climate change and all the politically correct things.

But to be honest, if you are an architect of the tech monopolies, you don’t really care about the country — you just want to make an insane profit.

Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Michael Savage are happy exception to the rule.

Climate change is a racket but the racket is reality to the new people who control our world.

Like it or not, right or not, cost effective or not change is coming like a tsunami with all of the problems attendant.

Like so many foolish things, unnecessary and very painful. Very painful. I believe I will be ready to go when my time comes.
