Not surprising, but still sad. Which billionaires own CNBC these days? They must have decided it wasn’t worth the risks to their profits in other ventures.

I just want to, for a moment, shed some light on the mental disconnect here for Ms. Clifford.
This is a person who literally ran CNBC's climate change desk. She is, then, ostensibly aware of all the same information any of the rest of us have about climate change.
And yet, she seems to think we can somehow have a world where everybody can casually fly to Istanbul or some other place they've never been every single year, and that'll be sustainable. Or if she doesn't think it's sustainable, she's still totally fine using her own financial position to do it anyway.
If this is how people who actually focus their careers on climate change think, we're pretty fucked.
