CNN’s Resident Eco Activist Bill Weir Mocks Jeff Bezos’ ‘Pittance’ $10 Billion Global Warming Fund

EXCERPT:

WEIR: “Pressure from his own employees and from the rest of the world and from consumers who are realizing that this is the biggest story in the world and we won’t be ordering toothbrushes from China through Amazon unless we have a Goldilocks climate at the end of this century. It's interesting, there is a group called the Amazon Employees for Climate Justice, and hundreds of them walked out last fall in one of the climate strikes. And to get in front of that the day before, Bezos said, well, we are going to adhere to the climate — Paris climate accord goals, but that is a pittance compared to what this company really could do. Just to put it in perspective, he’s worth $130 billion, what he is promising is about less than 8 percent, that’s the equivalent of a median American of his age giving about $14,000. Meanwhile, somebody like Bill Gates who is number two on the list, worth $30 billion less, has given $40 billion into causes like this, not just disease eradication but new energy solutions, and that’s the big question, is it’s very nebulous, where will the money go?”
