| 2007年2月12日 维珍悬赏2500万美元 奖励"除碳"发明 |
|
Sir Richard Branson brought his talent for publicity2 to bear on climate change yesterday, offering a $25m (£13m) prize to anyone who invents an economical way of removing carbon from the atmosphere. The Virgin group chairman said: "We have no super-hero. We have only our own ingenuity3 to fall back on." But environmental groups pointed4 to the irony5 of such an offer from the owner of an airline and an operation to offer commercial space flights. Environmentalists also said there was little chance of such technology being developed soon.
