> $154 billion on climate-change-related activities since 1993 [but] 94 percent of the money was going to programs that weren’t primarily focused on climate change — things like nuclear energy. The money marked as climate spending wasn’t going to new initiatives. Instead, “it’s a bunch of related things we were already doing,” So 6% of the money being actual new money focused on fixing climate, times $154 billion, is $9.24 billion. I think that's an appropriate comparison since the Bezos money is new money specifically for fixing climate.
