NewsFilter: Branson pledges $3B to fight global warming.
Branson on global warming, Gates on AIDS -- good news, but sad that it's up to insanely-rich individuals to step up where governments are failing to act...

Famous Branson quotes: Sometimes Mother Nature decides to throw a curve ball... We are not going to tolerate this, ... If they decide they're going to violate the law, we are going to come after them. I wouldn't tell Jill how I felt. I behaved in such a way that was opposite to how I felt. I must have seemed strong to her. I didn't want to bring her down.

> but sad that it's up to insanely-rich individuals to step up rather like old times, methinketh.
-
Man, I dunno. I guess the thought is there, but $38 seems awful low.
-
You idiot, Nickdanger! It says he's pledging Seb, who is his brother or something, but who only communicates in "leet". Seb will sort the problem out for much less than a measly 38 bucks.
-
You're both wrong. $ is the Pascal symbol for hexadecimal notation. Thus $3B equates to 59 in decimal.
-
Oh really, rocket88? And just what do you use for fuel in that big rocket of yours, eh? You pollution-mongers make me SICK - I hope Seb comes and kicks your precious greenhouse down.
-
Speaking of rockets, I would htink that if Branson were really worried about global warming, his first action would be to disband his Virgin Galactic which must be worth seceral hundred million, if not a billion on its own -- not to mention the pollution of spaceships...

Philanthropiscist!!

Well if anyone can save us Branson can. (I can't decide which is cooler, The Dixie Stampede Dinner, TheTall Timber Lumberjack Show or Jim "Spiders and Snakes Stafford)
