A Billionaire on Our Side pushes back against the Koch Brothers

[davidthegnome]

23. It needs to be about more than money.

Money alone is not going to solve this issue. It's going to require a willingness to change the way we do things - to promote alternative energy, to stop doing the things that are increasing the effects of climate change. He can donate 100 million, or 100 billion... but unless we do these things, his money won't make one bit of difference.

I'm glad there's money on our side in regards to this particular issue - but what will be done with it? I'm curious also, as to what his true motivation is here. Perhaps he's simply intelligent enough to realize that climate change is as much a threat to him as it is to everyone else. Perhaps. On the other hand... I do not lightly trust the intentions or actions of the ultra wealthy.

One billionaire trying to make a difference is a good thing. It's going to take a whole hell of a lot more though, to truly combat climate change... and I honestly do not think we will do it. I believe we are in the last few decades of human existence as we know it.
