This is going to be one of those media driven "Million Man Marches" that counts all the soft heads that turn out around the world...we are the world, we are the people...

A series of concerts "bigger than Live Aid" is being planned for July, in a bid to put the subject of climate change before an audience of a global audience of 2bn.
The event, scheduled for July 7, will feature co-ordinated film, music and television events in seven cities including London, Washington DC, Shanghai, Rio de Janeiro, Cape Town and Kyoto, with major broadcasters and media owners aiming to extend the reach of public awareness of global warming.
It is understood that former US vice-president Al Gore, whose movie An Inconvenient Truth brought climate change to cinema audiences last year, will announce the event tomorrow in London.
The organisers hope to involve up to 2.5m people in events and link-ups at the cities involved, as well as other locations.
They are promising a line-up of artists to "dwarf" that of the Live8 and Live Aid concerts, thought to be branded under the name "SOS".
One person close to the event said yesterday: "The talent involved is just exponentially bigger because the issue itself is bigger.
"Live Aid was about asking people to stump up money, this is about effecting systemic change.
"The aim is not just to drive awareness but to get people to take action."
These actions are likely to include personal pledges to reduce emissions, for instance by using energy efficient equipment or flying less.

There's big money to be made from morons with disposable income.
Wonder how much coal-fired electricity that will burn.
They will do as much good as the rest of the charity concerts.
Climate Change Concerts to Aid Live Dwarf.
There...fixed it!
what's the carbon footprint for 20 semis full of high-wattage lights,amps,and instruments?
"wink"
couldn't resist.
All of the self-important "Stars" that will be "performing" at these "concerts" will be flown on private jets, whisked from their 1st class hotels by jet helicopters to the venues, where hundreds of thousands of stoned fans will writhe in adoration. AlGore will be the prefect Master of Ceremonies. He will pontificate against BUSH and REPUBLICANS and call them the EEE-VVILLLLL of the "Planet" and so on and so on. By the way, AlGore will travel from Venue to Venue around the world on his own private gyrocopter attached to his stout frame.
Shheeesh.
ROFL!!
Has anyone calculated how much energy this will consume and how big the global warming carbon footprint will be from these events?
At a minimum, they should require a full environmental impact statement before this is permitted.
Give me the warm power of the sun... give me the comforting glow of a wood fire but please take your atomic poison power awa-ay.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Save Our Socialists?
or do they plan on serving a lot of toast with it?
I don't care who you are, that's funny!
Oops, it's back.
The CO2 generated from this will be astounding.
