Sir Richard Branson as he admits is not the smartest guy in the world, however he is a visionary and when he has a vision, he then goes about surrounding himself with people smarter than him... he then gives then a lot of equity in the venture to complete and make the vision a reality and then he steps out of the way to let them do their job and supports them in their cause/crusade however he can and he has become a billionaire from this. He is an extraordinary man! Information with Inspiration

The definition of education is: Knowledge acquired by learning and instruction. I can safely say that when it comes to education, Sir Richard Branson is well Educated whether it be formal or not. His knowledge and education is based on what he needs to know. Education is nothing if it isn't backed by action. And he has evidently backed his education with action which caused him to be one of the most greatest and successful men of our time!

Or if we can effectively store the co2 in the atmosphere and bring it into storage tanks and slowly use it on plants. Maybe by pumping it from the atmosphere into containment tanks. Or when they are burnt instead of releasing it everywhere from factories they are stored and released at effective rates into environment via calculated intake per cubic meter of rainforest so forth.

we know fish split h2o using gill to hydrogen and take oxygen in there are some filters to split it. If we can split co2. Plants split co2 if we can genetically modify the process of which plants do or isolate it to speed it up.

@lkokoki Is it really necessary to resort to such language? If you disagree with someone, then by all means, use all the passion you can garner and let that disagreement be known in no uncertain terms. But do so without labeling the other party as something other than what they are: A human being with opinions like you and me. I myself have much doubt about this whole global warming stuff but still found the Branson interview to be most enlightening.

@DgurlSunshine Hemp produces the most biomass of any crop, which is why it is the natural choice for an energy crop. Hemp converts the sun's energy into cellulose faster than any other plant, through photosynthesis. Hemp can produce 10 tons of biomass per acre every four months. Enough energy could be produced on 6% of the land in the U.S. to provide enough energy for our entire country (cars, heat homes, electricity, industry) -- and we use 25% of the world's energy.

I believe that the government should invest into solar panels that power alot of well populated areas like lights and street lights. Also invest into wind turbines or solar panels for home use aswell as everything that uses electricity emits carbon into the air we breathe and need as turbines and solar panels will not and also will save you money in the long run on your electric bills

@d3r2000 12 жыл бұрын

Extracting the co2 and methane would mean we fly a medium around such as an aeroplane or jetcraft on a very high altitude and dispense some form a chemical or gas to neutralise the carbon or extract it. Otherwise we apply more oxygen or poison it more or break the co2 in carbon and oxygen taking the carbon down or letting it rain down. Otherwise we need monitor the levels first carefully using maybe satelittes discover the levels we need perhaps use a rocket to that altitude to extract the co2

I think the project to fly into outer space is good, they advertised in mail online recently, I phoned them up pissed off. Normally, all my calls to this company have been really civil and friendly, overall they've been ok, I wish they would not advertise with mail online.

I know what you mean, but i wouldn't use the word slow, lots of people use that word to say stupid and Dyslexics are not necessarily stupid, they just have problems in taking in information in certain ways, that doesn't mean they can't make intelligent decisions. It really doesn't help dyslexic people from a coincidence point of view in life when they are referred to as slow/stupid ete. I'm a dyslexic and have had to deal with this all through schooling and in my day to day life now. Jayen

Dear Sir Richard Branson, A CONCEPT THAT YOU ARE IN A UNIQUE POSITION TO CONSIDER. Very fast train concepts seem transfixed by old rail concepts? WHAT IF? Tubular rim fire contained aircraft with light bodies using hovercraft 360 degree and spinning pilot section nose and held steady with Aeolians on route. Powered on route by electromagnets from wind turbine systems and solar panels? Think expressway tunneling for mountains AND supersonic. Sydney to Melbourne Leare Jets - 2xtube every 30 mins

I wouldn't call Dyslexia a learning disability but rather the ability to have ideas and visions! In our society everybody "qualifies" for a disorder! Other than that, there IS NO clean fuel, Mr. Branson. Not if you have take away food from the poor in the world to "produce" fuel.

@elitebman another thing to brush up on every single country is majorly in debt we are talking billions and trillions of dollars planting trees can be a benefit as trees can be very scenic and takes a large roll in this world as they provide the oxygen we breathe the more trees we plant the more habitats animals can live in and better breathing for whatever your roll you have taken in this world if its being a hunter to living on the streets also scenery would bring tourists which bring money
