BRAVO! Al Gore !!! You go!!!

I'm listening too!

 

Kumbaya!

I'm wondering just how many of those rock star performers jumped into their private jets so they could arrive at their performance site - to teach the world about global warming - and then jet back to their previous engagements.

I'd say there are more than one or two hypocrites preaching to the masses. <_<

Oh lord, Kumbaya.

 

Anyone know if you can get this on any of the radio channels on iTunes?

You have to think of it as spending a nickel to save a dime.

 

There's a live webcast on liveearth.msn.com

I like the one at the Smithsonian in D.C. It's at the Native American Center. Gore is live at the Smithsonian.

I find it a bit ironic it's sponsored by Chevy: Do more, use less. with icons for fuel efficiency, E85 ethanol, hybrid, electric and fuel cell underneath. The other sponsors are Philips and ZUNE (LOL). I imagine it's a Podcast somewhere, not a Zunecast.

 

Great to hear The Police again- they sounded pretty good!

So what you are saying is that it never happened? :huh:
Really, you can't be THAT ignorant. [can you?]

So what are you really doing MJ?
Shooting the messenger who dares to point out the hypocrites?
Defending the hypocrites because . . .?
Demonstrating your extreme level of bias?
Proving your ignorance?

Carbon footprint

The event was like holding "a hog roast to promote vegetarianism," a viewer of BBC Two’s flagship Newsnight programme had written at the show's website, London’s upmarket The Observer reported on 8 July.[7] It quoted bands including the Arctic Monkeys, The Who and Muse as dubbing the event "private jets for climate change." [21] Its total carbon footprint, including the artists and spectators' travel and energy consumption, was likely to have been at least 31,500 tonnes, according to John Buckley of Carbonfootprint.com - more than 3,000 times the average Briton's annual footprint, it added.

Organizers have defended some participants' use of jets by saying that the concerts will have eco-friendly electricity and sustainable lighting.

Eco-friendly electricity and sustainable lighting? :huh: :huh: :lol: Oh yeah, that will help neutralize Madonna's carbon footprint of choice for attending this event. <_<

Watching the veteran star lap up the adoration, her entourage could, however, be forgiven for exchanging slightly jaded glances - having witnessed her jet in for the concert from New York.

So MarinJohn, are you also going to also ridicule the The Who, Arctic Monkeys, and Muse, for dubbing this event 'private jets for climate change' :huh: [ :lol: I like that :lol: ]

Go ahead, continue your liberal idol worship ways.
Demonstrations of bias, ignorance, and hypocrisy become you.

The event was held to get a message out. You don't get a message to a vast number of people by wispering behind your hand in a corner. Gore did a great job of getting the message out and the conservatives have a right to be pissed. But they don't have a reason.

It's a lot easier to be critical than it is to be constructive.

Al is looking less like a politician and more like a messiah these days. Al is the real deal. Conservatives are scared.

It was the first of a three year PR program.

And Conservatives did their best to try and subvert the event by denying them access to concert locations. But they found a venue anyway. I particularly enjoyed the Capitol building in the background of the DC event. I really liked the Smithsonian show. And how appropos that New Jersey has signed up with California and Hawaii re: Global Warming. A few more states and we won't need the Federal Government to legislate. We'll have done an end run.

It's times like these I'm sure the Conservatives are really unhappy about that 'free speech' part of the Constitution.

Saw them in Dallas last week. Two nights in a row.
They open every show with "Message in a Bottle".
Very appropriate song for Live Earth, I'd say.

(Stewart Copeland is simply amazing to watch)

 

That concert was incredible! A full day of bliss. They did a great job on the website too - you can find your favorite bands easily & see what didn't get broadcast.
