Bill and Buffet think big...I guarantee they've got bigger ambitions. Bill has still been working at MS. Once he's done there, he'll eventually spend some money some place people can see it.
Buffet has always worried about the global population, etc...I'd say that will play into it somwhere along the way as well.
What do I know..but Warren's made some pretty good decisions in the past, we'll have to see how this one plays out.

True - Overall, ya got to commend folks for showing an interest in practical terms re global populations and environments. It's a huge issue - more than could fill GFY and all sites hosted at Jupiter - and has a bearing on every nation on this planet.
Only my
worth, but it's an issue that will be forced on everyone in decades ahead - and we ain't talking about just some donations from Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett - their contribution, tho an excellent start, - will be wiped in under a day.
