Richard Branson and Al Gore launched the climate initiative
Millions of pounds are on offer for the person who comes up with the best way of removing significant amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Virgin boss Sir Richard Branson launched the competition today in London alongside former US vice-president Al Gore.


They are looking for a method that will remove at least one billion tonnes of carbon per year from the atmosphere.

I mean, how hard can it be to make a billion tonnes of Carbon "disappear"?

Plant one billion trees

That sounds like a great idea. Why don't you apply?

I'm sure no one has thought of that one.

Extract the genes from plants which make them use co2 and implant them in humans.Soon we will be breathing in co2 and breathing out oxygen

Are you a scientist?

I know how to operate a bunsen burner and a test tube, but I might be a bit rusty since I have not utilised these particular skills since the early 80's.

Couldn't you squash all the carbon really hard and turn it into diamonds?


Apologies for piss-poor science
