$25M Bounty Offered for Global Warming Fix

SaDan writes "Richard Branson is offering $25M as a bounty for a fix to global warming. The person or organization that can devise a method to remove at least a billion tons of carbon dioxide a year from the atmosphere will be able to claim the bounty. There are a few catches, of course. There can't be any negative impact on the environment, and the payment will come in chunks. A 5 million dollar payout will be paid when the system is put into place with the remainder of the bounty to be paid after 10 years of continuous use."

genetically engineered floating microscopic algae filled with hydrogen that live in clouds that can be harvested by giant flying mesh nets. Of course, this would cause massive droughts thus killing millions of people. also they would... i dunno... filter the sun's light, shifting it red... taking away superman's powers. thus solving everything. Global warming, and how to kill superman. awesome.
