Bezos pledges $2 billion to reduce land erosion

KIRO 7 November 01, 2021

The Latest on U.N. climate summit COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland:

GLASGOW, Scotland — The Bezos Earth Fund pledged $2 billion Tuesday to fight climate change through landscape restoration and the transformation of agricultural systems.

“Our commitment today supports a three-fold imperative — we must conserve what we have, restore what we’ve lost, and grow what we need in harmony with nature,” the fund’s founder, Jeff Bezos, said in a statement.

The $2 billion pledge at COP26 is part of $10 billion that the Amazon founder committed earlier this year to spend by 2030 in an effort to battle climate change.

The Bezos Earth Fund plans to spend $1 billion mainly in the United States and Africa, planting trees to better secure eroding landscapes and restoring areas that capture high levels of carbon dioxide. The remaining $1 billion will be earmarked for transforming agricultural systems to try to increase crop yields, reduce food waste and encourage more plant-based diets.

Even Chauncey the Gardner can smell a massive money laundering operation of this magnitude.

Who elected Jeff Bezos Global Lanscape Architect?

Erosion is a natural, creatively destructive component of the geologic life cycle.  Without it, we wouldn't have river deltas, flood plains, wetlands, and other important fertile geolgic features.

Without the Laurentide glacial erosion of the Appalachian Mountains, we wouldn't have Long Island, Cape Code, Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Block Island, Walden Pond and other limousine liberal Summer destinations.

When do we start filling in the Grand Canyon, re-capping the Appalachian Mountains, and putting catalytic converters on volcanoes?

OMG!
Without all those carbonate ions, clams and oysters and billions and billions of foraminifera won't be able to make shells!

Not only will there be no shells to pick up at the beach, just think of the billions of homeless animals!
