      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 …

      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!

      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.

          Agree with @jadler1969 ...there are very useful ways to spend this money. Gates has been quite frugal with spending his billions the right way. If Bezos is smart, he can make an impact. But most of these guys are dumb, and just hand money over and it obviously gets wasted.

          Or they set up "charitable" foundations with their heirs in charge which conveniently gets around inheritance taxes.

          They could actually buy land for conservation. Bezos could pay off farmers in the Amazon. Way more effective than funding studies on climate change. @JeffBezos
