I know it’s trendy to hate billionaires, but many didn’t get rich by accident.
Jeff Bezos made goods cheaper & quickly accessible. Bill Gates put computers in homes. Sergey Brin gave the world a search engine that works. I could go on.
So yes…they should exist.

When climate change skeptics say “climate models are wrong” they always imply that models intrinsically overstate negative outcomes. Strange they never mention models can also understate them.
"The doubling of the energy imbalance has come as a shock, because the sophisticated climate models we use largely didn’t predict such a large and rapid change.

Earth is trapping much more heat than climate models forecast – and the rate has doubled in 20 years
Real world measurements of how much extra heat the Earth is trapping are well beyond most climate models. That’s a real problem.
