Here's What Happens When a Billionaire Climate Alarmist's Yacht Meets Up with a Protected Coral Reef
Billionaire Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to various causes through the years, including climate change, ocean health, and wildlife protection.
Now, he’s making headlines over an ironic embarrassment.
As reported by Reuters, his $165 million yacht destroyed 80% of protected coral reef during a visit to the Cayman Islands earlier this month:
An anchor chain from the vessel damaged nearly 14,000 square feet 80 percent, of reef near two scuba diving sites in the West Bay, the islands’ environment department said, according to the Cayman News Service.
Allen’s Seattle-based Vulcan Inc organization, which manages his fortune, said on Wednesday that the M/V Tatoosh was moored on Jan. 14 in a “position explicitly directed” by the local port authority and that his team was cooperating with the investigation.
The damage to the coral comes just five months after he announced support for research to stabilize and restore coral reefs
