Wired has an interview with Larry Brilliant, the new head of the Google Foundation. He's the man in charge of spending $1,000,000,000 plus one percent of the equity, 1 percent of the profits, and 1 percent of the people of Google. For now, the foundation has a triple mandate: In no particular order, global public heath, global poverty and the climate crisis. Mr. Brilliant says: "I’m going to approach this the way a venture capitalist would – map out the industry to see what the gaps are. You fund an initiative, learn what works, and ask, 'Will it scale?' [...] Many of the issues we face in dealing with rapid climate change are well suited to an engineering mind." ::Wired Interview with Larry Brilliant, ::Official Google Press Release.

hi
google doesn't care about global warming all they care about is money
global warming is the problem created by human. It the symbol of artificiality.why human have not remain natural or wild because they are not satisfied. they want high standard of life and for this they have exploited nature, plants and animals, each and every component of nature.
But there needs a balance and nature will show how it balance the things now with humans. they have killed innocent animals. now they have to pay for it. No one can do nothing for global warming. what did u think that reducing the emission will revert all thing back, NO not at all.
we are still unaware, millions are unaware. they are just fighting with each other. Nations are fighting with each other. they will suffer......., surely...........
