Why billionaires won't save us from climate change. Support OCC and get 20+ bonus, ad-free videos by signing up for Nebula: go.nebula.tv/occ/
In this Our Changing Climate climate change video essay, I look at why billionaires won't save us from climate change. Specifically, I look at how the elite philanthropy of Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk function as more of a billionaire preservation of wealth and self than as an act of altruism. Elite philanthropy from Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos in particular seem to solidify their political and social power even more. Bill Gates and his foundation have steered the realm of global health for quite some time (especially during the pandemic) and it seems as if he is using his billionaire wealth to do the same for climate action. Jeff Bezos' $10 billion Earth Fund seems to be functioning in a similar way while also whitewashing the destructive nature of Amazon, aka how Jeff Bezos made his money. Elon Musk is also jumping on the billionaire philanthropy train with a carbon capture prize that is measly compared to his massive wealth. At the end of the day billionaires and billionaire money are not solutions to climate change and the climate crisis, we are.

Good job. Definitely gates, he is more of a control freak than the rest and the dude is an insufferable madman with a very questionable accelerationist ideology and motives. The 'harvesting the biosphere' stuff really creeps me out.

It's the ignorance they teach about economics that causes our problems. The notion that building "wealth" is a positive thing. When it's a dog whistle for socialism. Like wealth gives you a right to socialism mailbox money. To take out loans to buy real estate to rent back to us. In the name of "building wealth", and that causes real estate shortages. It's economic ignorance. Very poor math. Houses are outpriced for the working-class to afford and no policing to help us to stop socialism. And we need policing by a Democratic nation. Not "wealth". Get rid of Citizens United. Let us choose who we associate with. Citizens United takes our choice away. Citizen United makes us slaves.

It would not change anything. Take the money away from the rich and give it to the rest, some years later it will be back in the billionaires bags. An example of the hypocritical world we live in is on this channel. "I love your videos so much" "Never stop" "You're so great" but still this man can't earn enough money from 280k people. People talk to much and do to little. This is why people who DO (the evil billionaires and others) will become wealthy because they invent good tools, helping people. Otherwise they would not be rich.

@@leonard0104 do you really believe billionaires are that rich because they work harder than people who work two or three jobs and are smarter than the most renown scientists and engineers on the planet? Or is it maybe a lot of initial luck, combined with having no moral qualms about exploiting everyone around you and the ability of money to acquire more money without you having to do anything? Is Bill Gates somehow a better programmer than Linus Torvalds? Not just better but billions of times better?

The idea that converting everything that possibly can be into a concentrated personal wealth for a few people is a good thing is a big problem. It as seen as the way things should be and needs to be. Money means merit and merit means money. A dangerous blindness comes with this. People come to think or act as if those with the most money are simply better people when it comes to just about anything: smarter, more thoughtful, have the best things in mind, most helpful, generous......... They have polls to show much of this. In short, people assume lots of good things about wealthy people without having nor demanding any evidence. The wealth is the only "evidence" they need.

Am I the only one who thinks that 'Bill Gates's' book is ghostwritten? I mean sure, he's smart and all, but that is the exact case scenario that ghostwriting is made for- he would pay a team of experts to brainstorm ideas then pay a professional to compile them all into a compelling book, maybe reading through it a couple times to make sure it fits his image. Like- do people think he actually sat down and spent hundreds of hours writing the thing?

"Wealth supports institutions that in turn legitimize that wealth" is something I remember hearing John Green say in one of his crash course series. Considering the fact that he himself is quite rich, I'm not sure how to feel about it.

@drewfedorka 3 года назад

Yeah, but this is a useful opportunity to distinguish between run-of-the-mill millionaires and the billionaire class, especially given that phrases like "demonizing wealth" or, more euphemistically, "demonizing success" are often used as a cudgel any time we dare critique the status quo. Wealth alone isn't the problem, per se. It's the access that wealth buys - to legislators, international organizations, "thought leaders," media, and institutions (like universities) - that is the real problem. John Greene is certainly rich, but with a net worth less than 20 million dollars, his ability to shape laws, regulations, and public discourse through his money is far more modest than the ultra rich.

@dvf1736 3 года назад

there's a difference between rich and wealthy. Rich people get large paychecks, wealthy people write the checks. Rich people have a set number to their money, and no power beyond that. Wealthy people have more money than they could ever hope to spend, and some more. Their power extends far and wide. John Green has a net worth of 17 million, a pitiful sum of money compared to the wealthy elites. His entire net worth would not be able to pay for a single one of their mansions, and definitely can't be used for any political power

You are right about the billionaires being able to use their donations as tax write-offs but what a bunch of people don't get is those systems are also whats helping small business owners. There are a multitude of things that can be written off. Anyone that works for Uber knows you write-off your miles and your gas but there is a lot more that you can write-off like food, myself being an entertainer I can write-off apparel, donations, and virtually any other expense like gear or services. The other thing people do not realize is that these systems can help them too. Setting up an LLC is not the most expensive thing in the world and is something to work towards. You can have an LLC setup under your own name just as long as you get an EIN that will work with giving you tax write-offs.

@TenHorizons 3 года назад

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I don't fully agree with you. Sure, the people know what they need and want, but they don't always know how to, or actually move to get what they need and want. You mention taxation and movements, when taxation gives the money to possibly even more corrupt politicians, while movements are just common folk using their productivity time to voice out, hoping someone would listen to them, not actually using their time and effort to change something. I respect billionaires, because they know how the world moves, and use the rules they know to achieve success. Their success stems from the service their built leading a bunch of people who wouldn't have provided such services otherwise. While I do agree the system is rigged, giving money to the people will rig the system too, only before this it was rigged by billionaires who earned that money, now it's rigged by common folk who got that money by force from the government, who aren't guaranteed to know how to best make use of that money. Who is to say that these "people's representatives" won't be as corrupt as what we have now? Politicians we're supposed to be the "people's representatives". I think the biggest problem is, people just aren't standing up. People complain, protest, but don't put in the action to make the change. Take MeetKevin for example. California is a mess? Become the governor and fix it. Rules are rigged by the rich? Actually learn about candidates and select the good ones, or run yourself. The reason there's no change is because there are still too many sheep among American, who expect others to do the important things for them. Then they complain about inequality, a rigged system, etc etc.

@waasar 3 года назад

How is curbing unjustifiable earnings rigging the system? People often talk about "the system" like it's a fixed set of sacred rules that magically provide the optimal results for mankind. Many people therefore perceive changing the system as something that must be negative. Furthermore, many people seem to think of the system as inherently just, leading people to believe that the the money billionaires make has to be a fair reflection of their relative contribution. In reality the system is just what policy makers decide it to be and it is subject to constant change. The world's richest people make this much money not by working millions of times harder than the rest of us, but by coming up with all sorts of ways to influence policy makers to enact policies in their favour. Governments can also be corrupted but I am not sure how that is supposed to be worse than having billionaires in power. Billionaires are definitely "corrupt" in that sense (spending money to increase their own power rather than improve general wellbeing). Billionaires are also not accountable to the people and cannot be removed from power by democratic means. You're also implying that billionaire corporations are absolute experts at allocating money, whereas governments hardly know what they are doing. I'd argue an imperfect institution that doesn't always act in your favour is still a lot better than an imperfect institution that definitely doesn't act in your favour.

@sorzin2289 3 года назад

The Coronavirus pandemic has showed that they don't know either. People like Bill Gates, and Joe Biden are just as clueless as you or I. And the people who do no what's going like Dr. Fauci or Tedros Gebryesus from WHO either have to follow the bosses playbook or have their advice fall on deaf ears. If anything crises like these should be tackled collectively and democratically. Two heads are better than one.

The video basically explains how many of the arguments against beef are in fact wrong, or at least incomplete and misunderstood. I would like you to check it out, and maybe get a video on the subject to better understand the whole situation. Great video as always. EDIT: I have found a paper by the Johns Hopkins University entitled _A Response to Dr. Frank Mitloehner's White Paper, "Livestock's Contribution to Climate Change: Facts and Fiction"_ that criticizes the arguments and data that Dr. Mitloehner brings up in the video, but I don't really have the time to dig deep in the subject, so a video would really be helpful!!

I just see a lot of hyporitical GOOD people lately and I hate it. If you hate against other people and do not really do something yourself (against those "evil people" or better something good) in my opinion you are just trying to do yourself and your conscience a pleasure by being a hypocrite "good person". everything what "seems good" is being supported. for example socialism. like, do people realize socialism NEVER worked out in the past and rn? look at venezuela, and why dont we have a soviet union and so on. it just does not work. capitalism and even social-capitalism brought so much benefits, progress and wealth to people. or do you want to live in a world like in the middle ages (not that they had socialism there lol idk). I think people are just unhappy but attack the wrong targets. they hate against so many things which are so unnessasary. taking away money from the rich for example wont help. Give it to the rest, the "poor people" and in a view years the money will be back with the rich. That is how I think it works. People innovating and bringing people good will be benefited with money. if you dont want them to get rewarded they would not do such things or there would not even be a drive to make the earth a greater place or push humanity.
