As the UN Climate Change Summit discusses countries' carbon reduction goals, Microsoft founder Bill Gates was revealed by the media to hold a 66th birthday party in the Gulf of Turkey last week and invited Many guests such as Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to join him.
Netizens denounced Gates and Bezos as "hypocrites" with different words and deeds, while preaching the need for the world to reduce its carbon footprint, while at the same time wantonly riding helicopters and superyachts with high carbon emissions.
According to Turkish media reports, Gazi held a private party in the gulf of Fethiye, Turkey, to quietly celebrate his 66th birthday.
The party lasts approximately 4 hours and guests enjoy plenty of champagne, sushi, pizza and local seafood. In order to protect the privacy of party guests, on-site venue staff are required not to use mobile phones.
The British "Daily Mail" pointed out that Bezos arrived in Fethiye by helicopter from Govoca, a total of about 193 kilometers round trip. The jet fuel (aviation fuel) used in helicopters emits about 9.5 kilograms of carbon dioxide for every gallon burned.
Because the helicopter can travel about 17 kilometers per gallon of fuel, the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by Bezos's helicopter is as high as about 97.5 kg.
On the other hand, Both Gates and Bezos live on superyachts, and the yacht's carbon emissions are even more staggering, with each yacht emitting 7,020 tons of carbon dioxide per year, the equivalent of 19 tons per day.
The report also said that Gates used helicopters to transport guests from the Luxury Superyacht Lana, which he rented for 1.8 million euros a week, to the Bay Party.
After the news was exposed, it triggered an angry response from netizens, accusing Gaiz and Bezos of having different words and deeds and contradicting themselves. Some netizens said that they asked others to "do what I say, not do what I do."
Other netizens called Gates a "terrible energy waster" and mocked him for riding both yachts and helicopters to "contribute to reducing carbon dioxide emissions on his 66th birthday."
Netizens said bluntly, "I guess these rules don't apply to them?" Another netizen said: "It is these people who have caused us to fall into today's situation, and then they will preach to us about the so-called "climate crisis". ”
