Thanks, @NaomiAKlein! Employee organizing works! Huge announcement, but I'm also deeply concerned. Which groups will he fund? It's untenable for fossil fuel interests to deny climate change, so now they present weak policy and "solutions" which DELAY meaningful climate action. 1/https://twitter.com/NaomiAKlein/status/1229519422450290688 …

To put $10B in perspective, the investment income on that amount of money is as much as the entire environmental movement is spending on climate. I don't know how he's going to spend that money, but it's going to have huge consequences in terms of what action looks like.

No doubt. But what will those consequences look like?
