      Your attitude, RE, is not very helpful. These people have done harm through their businesses to the environment, but are now realizing the importance of measurements taken in this respect, and are doing much more good than the harm they did before. So... let's hope they manage to convince the deciding factors to do something about this ever increasing problem.

      Well, this is all very nice, I'm sure, but he's doing it with money he's taken from everyone else, and it would be interesting to conjecture what the world might be like if he and the others like him - Gates, Buffett, et al - didn't.
