"Branson has stated that he was formerly a global warming sceptic and was influenced in his decision by a breakfast meeting with Al Gore. ABC News. 22 September 2006. "

"Richard, I'm telling you this carbon exchange business is a no brainer. I've already made millons. You can too."

The businessman said Necker Island does have really strong buildings with hurricane blinds

not sure how well hurricane blinds work against a 20ft storm surge...

Is Foxx’s still there on on the south beach of JVD?

First pictures are coming in from Jost Van Dyke: Link. The Soggy Dollar is gone. One Love Grill was up the beach to the right so I'm sure it's gone too.
