This year, for Map Camp, we are looking to offset the climate cost of holding a conference. AWS has kindly step forward to help. Next year, our goal will be broader and we will increase the demands on any sponsor for Map Camp. It's the start of a journey not the destination.
You are legitimizing AWS's immoral climate record by accepting us as a "climate sponsor." Would you accept Exxon or Shell as your climate sponsor? I would hope not. For the same reason you shouldn't accept AWS as a sponsor either. Please reconsider.
I worked in the environmental field in the 90s when we could have made significant difference if we hadn't been ignored. I took flak because I argued nuclear was part of the solution (it was seen as the great evil). I will start the journey and ratchet demands each year.
And why were you and others ignored? Because powerful fossil fuel interests spent a lot of money to spread disinformation and buy cover. Why are you now willing to take money now from AWS who says it helps, "Oil and Gas companies" .."find oil, produce oil, optimize production"?
