Richard Branson initiative against global warming brings some fresh air to the old-fashioned Kyoto-style restrictions

Richard Branson, again, on the edge of innovation. This time, joining Al Gore in the fight against global warming. RB has announced a USD 25 million contest to solicit ways to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. With this initiative, Branson will be mirrored to Renaissance philanthropists and in some way could make the governments feel ridiculous about their one-way measures againts global warming. The Catalan "burgesia" should keep an eye on this initiative.
