Some British tycoon is offering $25 million as a prize for whoever makes something that can suck the greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere. While I'm not absolutely sure that's the best solution, at least someone's making an actual effort.

So what do you think? Has anyone on NSG got their eyes on the prize?

I heard ozone breaks down easy, just find out how to do it then make something that does it, but not too much, I don't want my eyes to melt out of my sockets when the protection from the sun goes away.

Edit: The only reason it doesn't break down fast in the ozone layer id due to the conditions at the top of the atmosphere.

Ozone? I thought the problem was carbon, among other things.

Well it gets rid of some greenhouse gases which buys us time to find out how to suck the rest out.

*gets a vacuum cleaner outside, points it up to the air and turns it on*

Ok, where's my 25 mil?
