    Aileen Getty has not personally worked in the oil industry and has poured much of her fortune into philanthropic ventures related to the climate crisis.

    Isn’t this what we want these rich people to be doing?

      Sure, in theory, but it might be a little naive to start trusting them because of a few good deeds.

      I’m still inclined to believe there’s ulterior motives. The same holds for the charities they choose to patron.
