Seriously???

“Far too many have suffered the consequences of global warming in recent months, and the political response has so far been woefully inadequate—and the denial is just evil,” she wrote.

Correction: Donating that $10M to pad the pockets of liberal funded scientists. May as well flush it down the toilet.

Not gonna make a hill of beans difference, since this is mostly a publicity stunt.

Many of the companies I know used the money to benefit their employees with things like pay raises and bonuses. But I guess when many of your employees are children living in third world shitholes making $3 a day that's not really a major concern.

I for one and all for the private funding of this sort of thing. Stop bankrupting the governments of the world and take care of it yourselves if you think you can possibly make a difference.

Also, yeah, I'm sure they have a few employees that would have appreciated a raise or a bonus instead of a stupid publicity stunt.

How do you think the Patagonia employees took that announcement?

Granted, some will hate Trump so bad that they cheered at the thought of "sacrifice" from their employer. But silently the majority of employees must have thought it would have been nice to get a few bucks extra on the paycheck.
