The richest person in the world, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, took to the stage to push for action on climate change on Tuesday – and people could not believe their eyes.

Bezos spoke at the UN’s climate summit COP26 about how his own adventures to space just earlier this year – enabled via his private company Blue Origin – made him realise how fragile the Earth and its atmosphere is.

“Looking back at Earth from up there, [in space] the atmosphere seemed so thin. The world so finite and so fragile,” the billionaire said.

“Now, in this critical year, in what we all know is the decision decade, we must all stand together to protect our world.”

He also announced a £2 billion pledge to restore nature as part of a £10 billion Bezos Earth fund.

But the irony of his declaration was not lost on viewers, who berated him for failing to implement green policies in his own companies.

The i’s Paul Waugh pointed out that just Bezos’ journey into space would have used up fossil fuels, culminating a significant portion of CO2 emissions.


The Guardian’s political correspondent Peter Walker noted that the billionaire was “explaining the obvious” after his “massively polluting ego trip into space” which lasted approximately 10 minutes.


Walker also pointed out the irony that Bezos even had a platform at the event, noting: “He’s not the saviour, he’s the problem.”

The Financial Times’ Tim Stanley dubbed the Amazon founder’s speech as “COP26′s Marie Antoinette moment” for its insensitivity.


Fortune’s magazine David Meyer compared Bezos’ speech to then-foreign secretary Dominic Raab’s feeble excuses for being away on holiday when the Afghanistan crisis was unfolding.


Columnist Nick Timothy pointed out that Bezos still had significant work to do when it comes to making his own businesses more sustainable as well.


And the furious tweets from everyone who caught his speech just kept on coming.

You would think if people are going to photo shop they would do a better job. Look at the sloppy neck line just above the collar. Just my two cents worth.

Frances Pres Macron... is even more of a hypocrite... when he continually attacks the Aussies and US about the AU about the 8 subs they took from the US/Brits instead of the 12 French Diesel electric subs

....Australia PM in hot waters after private text message with French president leaked in 'crude and unconventional tactic'
Devika Desai 1 hour ago

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison is in hot water after French officials have accused him of leaking a private text from French President Emmanuel Macron to subdue claims over his role in a submarine contract deal.
...
The allegation comes after Macron accused Morrison of lying about cancelling an A$90 bn (CAD$82 bn) submarine contract to procure deals with the United States and United Kingdom to acquire nuclear-propelled submarines.


Morrison had denied the French president’s accusations and said that he was not going to “cop sledging of Australia.”

Several media outlets reported that Macron texted Morrison two days in advance of the Aukus announcement, asking if he should expect “good or bad news for our joint submarines ambitions?”

It’s unclear how Morrison responded to the text, but it appeared to reinforce, to some, that Macron was aware that the contract may not go ahead as discussed."

If the Aussies are going to be Net zero Carbon Emissions by 2050... it should have been clear they would not buy 12 new French Subs fueled by Diesel!

Cheers

WSJ Editorial Board Nov 3

Managing French sensibilities is never easy. But President Biden set back U.S. interests in the Pacific Friday by bungling his intervention in the bitter standoff between the French and Australian heads of state.

French President Emanuel Macron is furious that Australia called off its military submarine contract with France in favor of a U.S. deal. Washington announced in September that it will share sensitive nuclear-submarine technology with Australia as part of Aukus, a strategic partnership among the U.S., U.K. and Australia to balance China. The resulting French diplomatic onslaught put Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison on the defensive. AU depends on the US for defence against China, and the US had to know about the French Submarine deal... the US/AU/UK strategic defence alliance is very important to Asia Pacific nations, or did Biden just forget about the French Subs...not a confidence builder with China being aggressive in the region.
