New UI institute aims to combat global warming

On a stop-over in London several years ago, lawyer and University of Illinois graduate Joel Friedman started reading a book about global warming.

"By the time I got done reading the book I was in a panic," he said.

The more he read, the more concerned he became, and the more he wanted to do something.

"Who's going to find solutions?" Friedman had asked. Industry? Think-tanks?
