Strange timeline indeed but Stripe is a big backer for climate solutions and climate research, including a $2B carbon dioxide removal initiative called Frontier: https://stripe.com/climate

Amazed that I have never heard of this. Feel like the positive PR would be a large incentive for them doing this at all.

i hear you, however:

> …but Stripe is a big backer for climate solutions…

his post reads pretty clearly as funding “solutions” to adapt to coming climate change rather than “how do we mitigate climate change”

this is why i’m skeptical of people who work for an economic org.

it’s like some these companies are salivating at the idea of Disaster Capitalism.

“it’s going to open up so many chances to make trillions!”

i recognize how jaded i am, but this just feels slimey “there’s much more money to be made if we exacerbate the disaster rather than slow it!”
