Virgin Group Chairman and billionaire Sir Richard Branson has pledged all of the profits from his airline and rail businesses for the next 10 years, or roughly $3 Billion to combat Global Warming.

It’s definitely disappointing when our administration is single-handedly matched by an outstanding citizen. However, this is absolutely a step in the right direction. So, much thanks and admiration goes out today to Richard Branson, who’s working for the common good.

This is the latest evidence that the tremendous increase in temperature that we’ve experienced since the Industrial Revolution is due to human influence. Who’d have thought Global Warming was caused by us?
