Amazon founder and executive chairman Jeff Bezos is planning to donate the majority of his $124 billion fortune to charities that fight climate change, according to CNN.

Bezos, who is the world’s fourth-richest man, said that he was “building the capacity to be able to give away this money” to fight climate change during an interview with CNN. The billionaire did not say what percentage of his money he would give away or offer specifics on where the donated money would be spent.

Bezos no doubt understands that “climate change” is the road to one world government.

I doubt it...

He’s throwing away his money. Even if he spends it all on “climate change” he’s not going to change anything. The Earth is going to warm and cool as it sees fit, not according to how much money a megalomaniac is spending.

In other words he’s giving his fortune to the Democrat party.

Hmmmmm. I wonder if he’ll set some aside to maintain when the recession hits or will he be in the bread line with us.

Unfortunately, the first Mrs. Bezos is just as left as he is.

You'd think so, wouldn't you.

"Climate Change" isn't about actually fixing the environment. It is about controlling the populace and stealing their wealth. Not a dime of Bozo's contribution will go to things that improve the environment.

“Once again proving that wealth is NOT an indicator of intelligence.”

What a dork! Man CANNOT CONTROL THE WEATHER, ONLY GOD ALMIGHTY DOES. Man is so STUPID AND FULL OF HIS OWN ARROGANCE.

“Climate change” equals the elimination of those the elites deem to be “undesirables”.

Little has changed since the days of the Pharoahs.

It’s not just virtue signalling. The richest man in the world wants to kill off most of the world’s population. Let that sink in.

Exactly One Guy’s hot take.

Wealthy people can and do collapse into intellectual chaos and futility.

This is great news for me as I am currently working on a device that makes clean electricity from, well, nothing. My first prototype is pictured below. I am very proud of my efforts here.

It won’t work, of course. But before Bezos loses interest I should be able to burn through at least $1 billion of his money. Please make the check out to “cash”, Mr. Bezos.
