> A further 8,000 Amazon employees subsequently signed an open letter to Bezos calling for concrete climate goals; to cancel contracts with oil and gas companies; and to stop donations to politicians who deny the reality of the climate crisis.

The one thing that will kill the growth of cloud is that if businesses feel that their contracts are at the whim of activist employees. This policy is Jeff Bezos sending out a strong signal that AWS will not listen to these activist employees in that regard.

The climate crisis should be more important than AWS growth, even for Amazon. A severe environmental collapse is gonna be pretty rough on Amazon's bottom line
