Jeff Bezos — who has pledged to spend billions of dollars to help fight climate change — nonetheless owns a $500 million superyacht that generates thousands of tons of carbon emissions each year, according to a new analysis by Indiana University researchers.
The Amazon founder’s 417-foot sailing yacht “Koru,” produces an astounding minimum of 7,154 tons of greenhouse gasses annually — roughly 447 times the entire annual carbon footprint of your average American, the Indiana researchers found.
The findings, based on publicly-available data, come as the world’s third-richest man has committed to spending $10 billion over 10 years through the Bezos Earth Fund to combat the effects of climate change.
So far, the fund has doled out $1.84 billion, including for nature conservation and restoration, and transforming food systems.

How would you balance the contributions to climate change initiatives with personal actions that may be environmentally harmful?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How do you feel about billionaires like Jeff Bezos making large contributions to climate change efforts while simultaneously owning highly polluting luxuries?

Reveals they know Climate Change is a Hoax
Or are too lazy to do anything about it while pushing regulations on the common folk
@9H8DXPD5mos5MO
I could care less what Bezos does one way or the other
@BagelsZoe5mos5MO
Jeff Bezos’s yacht probably emits less than random politicians flying their entourage around the world on private jets on taxpayer money. There are 10s of thousands of politicians like that. Think about it.

It's almost as if the ultra wealthy could make changes in their own lives to reduce carbon emissions.
