Oh yeah? But you have? Show me what billionaire funded think tanks exist that push for leftist policies on climate, like the green new deal. Famously popular among the wealthy. Are you serious?? To act like there is the same billionaire class interest in "protecting climate" as there is "continuing burning fossil fuels if it makes us money" is childish naiveté. Joker indeed.

  The only example i can think of its Soros open society.. and that's more socially left wing than economically left wing. His detractors though don't seem to see the difference between supporting things like lgbt rights and communism as an economic system.

Joker indeed. I will put my conspiracy theory hat on. If you want to continue burning fuel and you have these pesky climate change activists. Why not fund the most aggressive and annoying groups? People get pissed off and vote for politicians that do not fight climate change. You can clearly make a case for why it makes sense.

    Famous leftists, Jeff bezos and bill gates. Are you joking??? You have to be joking. What are you arguing? That billionaires don't care for profit above all? Because bezos and gates have paid lip service to climate? The argument was that to compare the resources behind leftist movements to the right's backing from the billionaire class is brazenly without basis in reality.
