VIRGIN boss Sir Richard Branson today offered a 25 million dollar prize (£12.8 million) to scientists to find a way to help save the planet from climate change.

Flanked by former US vice president Al Gore and other distinguished environmentalists at the launch in London, Sir Richard called for scientists to come up with a way to extract greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.

Describing the challenge as the largest prize ever offered, Sir Richard said: "The earth cannot wait 60 years. We need everybody capable of discovering an answer to put their minds to it today.

"We have to convince many people that the threat is urgent and real. We have only our own ingenuity and we have no hope of a meaningful solution unless we find a way to work together."
