We shouldn’t accept climate change as inevitable or stop trying to effect change. That said, what sort of clothing is out there which might help as we feel more negative effects?
The main thing I’m thinking about is dealing with heat, but I guess part of the question involves a little forecasting about the types of challenges people will face in the future.

No, he created a hedge fund structured as a 501©(3) to avoid paying taxes on inheritance for his family. The “non profit” may do some good while in the process of tax sheltering a billionaire’s estate, that’s not the primary purpose of it.

I mean, they can’t personally use those billions on themselves, so the family is still less wealthy for it. Sure it still gives them political power, but personally, I’d rather have the money than the power. So it’s quite possible they do plan on doing good with it. And whoever gets the trust after them still will be required to use it in a relatively narrower way as opposed to the family just buying another house or something.
So it’s true to be skeptical, but I don’t know if I’d argue it’s purely setup to shelter money since it doesn’t really shelter money. Its like putting money in an FSA to avoid taxes. Sure, you avoid taxes, but you can only spend it on medical supplies. Is it really sheltering at that point? Honestly, it’s kind of sad that the FSA is only example I can think of that most people could theoretically relate to. Billionaires just live in a different reality.
Interesting. The YouTuber you linked to has a very irritating editing style and flow, but it’s obvious that it’s true, nonetheless. I’ve since updated my comment
