The word is out that the man in charge of the massive money machine Amazon is terminating its funding effort for Science Based Target Initiatives through the Bezos Earth Fund. Uk based SBTI is in the business of helping corporations reduce their green house gas emissions thus reducing the likelihood of world combustion. The Earth Fund was one of the original entities involved in the creation of SBTI and provided billions for their efforts. As of 2024, SBTi operates without a central office and has 145 staff who primarily work remotely, including part-time employees.
Nobody knows for sure the reasoning behind the decision. The two most plausible reasons are felt to be more and more doubt over the reality and effect of climate change and the arrival of Donald Trump as a consequential government figure capable of changing the status quo.
