So apparently there's a big deal about these Live Earth concerts going on all over the world this weekend... something about benefit shows for a climate in crisis with Al Gore smiling for the cameras.
I'm guessing that all the Police and the Linkin Park did for Earth was add more carbon dioxide to the air with their singing.
I mean, seriously, this is such a stupid idea. It convinces the MTV-educated masses that global warming is a conclusive issue, and even worse, that somehow by listening to this music they are doing something about it.
I've only looked into the controversy enough to know that there's some very good arguments for all of these positions: Global warming is caused by human activities; global warming is real but not caused by human activities; global warming is not all real. It's a complicated issue, and I bet even I know more about global warming than half the stars on the stages across the continents.
Oh, excuse me, it's climate change now, because sometimes it results in global cooling. Gotta have our terms straight to convince the masses that we really know what we're talking about.
This blog is pretty much devoid of substance. I'm just casually ranting over the simultaneous obvious worthlessness and perceived effectiveness of "Concerts for Climate Change."
Puh-leez.

HA!
I heard about this too, and I also thought it was ridiculous. Using lots of electricity and energy and all that while preaching that we should conserve energy and care about the environment. Riiight.
At least they realized that temperatures are perpetually rising around the world. Maybe one hemisphere will deep freeze while the other melts down...and then the Earth will become sickle shaped and we'll lose our orbit and crash into the sun.

* excuse me - "temperatures are NOT rising perpetually around the world." I got excited and ahead of myself.
