Richard Branson: Global warming deniers ‘get out of our way’

Virgin CEO Richard Branson said that those who are skeptical of man-made global warming should “get out of our way,” joining the ranks of CEOs lashing out against those opposed to business investments in “sustainability.”

Branson made his remarks in the wake of Apple CEO Tim Cook’s telling global warming skeptics to “get out of this stock” if they did not agree with the company’s green investment strategy. Cook made his comments after being confronted by a free-market activist who pressed him on putting the environment ahead of profitable investments.

“If you want me to do things only for [return on investment] reasons, you should get out of this stock,” Cook told a representative of the National Center for Public Policy Research.

What a hypocrite! Leftists are so full of contradictions.

Virgin CEO Richard Branson may be championing green business investments, but his airline empire has emitted more than 7.1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere over the years.

Branson recently took to his blog to decry global warming denialism, saying that those who are skeptical of mankind’s effect on the planet should “get out of our way.” But Branson’s own airline companies have emitted millions of metric tons of carbon into the atmosphere.

It's the Kerry doctrine.

Liberals are increasingly intolerant of dissent.

Considering what he's worth, Branson should be able to buy enough carbon credits to save the earth 10X's over.

I look at some of the homes he owns, etc., and wonder how big the carbon footprint was to build and maintain just ONE of his "residences".

Hell, I'd take one of his islands.

This guy must be looking for government money to promote HIS investments in Bio-Fuels.

The optimism contrasts with a series of disappointments by oil company sponsors. Several have cut or killed various types of biofuels research because they couldn’t get costs down.
