Richard Branson, (with Al Gore by his side) has offered $25 million for ‘solving’ Global Warming. There’s a concrete proposal – you have to remove at least a billion tons of carbon dioxide a year from the Earth's atmosphere.
I’d say they are the right people to spearhead such a campaign……but the million $ question is :
We have strategies to capture carbon dioxide & greenhouse gases at industrial regions, but here is no strategy to REMOVE gases already released. These might be causing irreversible damage.
We are already witnessing effects of global warming throughout the globe :
Super hurricanes, like Hurricane Katrina.
Prolonged, persistent droughts in India.
Recurrent typhoons in South East Asia.
Rapid desertification in Africa.
Heat waves in Europe.
Melting of polar ice caps and glaciers in Himalayas & Alps.
My hunch is…….we already might have entered an irreversible process.
