      Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Bloomberg Quicktake

      If he literally just spent $10 billion planting trees, that would almost certainly be more useful than whatever he ends up doing. But then, that wouldn't be effective as ideological protection money.https://twitter.com/Quicktake/status/1229480960552554496 …

      BEZOS EARTH FUND: Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos announced he is committing $10 billion to fight climate change. In an Instagram post, the world's wealthiest man said he would "fund scientists, activists, NGOs" to "help preserve and protect the natural world" pic.twitter.com/5eI7L45UsW

      You know what Bezos should do instead? Buy & preserve big chunks of the Amazon rain forest. What could possibly be more on-brand than "Jeff Bezos saves the Amazon"? The naming rights are already there!

          This won't protect him from anything. There will still be people yelling "WHO IS HE TO DECIDE HOW TO SPEND THE MONEY HE SHOULD PAY TAXES INSTEAD"

          Endowing some prizes and funding deployment to generate economies of scale could be useful, and potentially better than tree planting. Ditto roof greening in cities.

          Like Gates, he's the rare philanthropist who has the resources to make a real difference by focusing on one thing, rather than just pouring money around.
