Jeff Bezos Commits $10B to Address Climate Change

Sacrificing isn't going to solve the problem. Saying that people need to do that seems to be it's own virtue signal.

Climate change is billions of people over decades. Bezos can't sacrifice enough to make a difference.

I do not believe in climate change. I also do not believe in a ruling elite advocating reduced consumption by others while consuming and emitting all they want simply because they have the money to “offset” it. It is an obscene display of privilege.

If this commenter opened with “I do not believe in climate change” many people here would have saved time and not responded to this quasi-trolling

Because all dissenting opinions are trolls? I genuinely dislike being preached to about climate change by mega-consumers like celebrities.

Discussing the proper response to a problem with someone who denies its existence is rarely productive, so people might have saved some time if they had known your position from the beginning.

I do not believe in gravity, and yet.
