No he don’t, Gore isn’t that stupid.
He’s just hoping to make his money on carbon offsets while the market is hot and this weekend’s event is just a huge marketing scheme.
All he has to do is find a graceful way to change course when the weather inevitably does, and that shouldn’t be that difficult. His followers were pretty much in the bathroom when God was passing out brains. I watched part of the program this afternoon for about 20 minutes, with this one performer (I had to see who it was, I didn’t recognize Melissa Ethridge and it took that long to put her name on the screen), pathetic fawning sheep over Mr. Gore. For some reason, he’s really mesmerized them, I just don’t understand that part.

If Algore had any nads, he would hold outdoor concerts during the winter months...
Good grief. I wonder what size bra Al is wearing in the photo you posted? Looks like about a 48-B cup.

Live Earth London’s Glacial Pacing
Mixing Music and a Serious Message Gives Concert a Clunky Rhythm

“John Buckley of Carbon Footprint, an organization that helps companies reduce their carbon dioxide emissions, said Saturday that Live Earth will produce about 74,500 tons of the gas.
“We would have to plant 100,000 trees to offset the effect of Live Earth,” he said, speaking by telephone. But, he added, “if you can reach 2 billion people and raise awareness, that’s pretty fantastic.”
Certainly, on the way into the show, some of the 65,000 people who’d spent $110 on a ticket appeared unaware of the seven-point pledge that Al Gore, the event’s chief impresario, had asked all spectators to make. Asked about it, they offered blank looks and said they were there for Madonna (whose annual carbon footprint, according to Buckley, is 1,018 tons — about 92 times the 11 tons an average person uses per year).
“I’m not even sure who Gore is,” said Georgie Simpson, 35, from Ipswich, in eastern England. “I saw Gore on TV,” added Sue Bourner, 38, a health service manager from Hampshire. “But frankly, I think it’s cheeky of Americans to come over here and lecture us. They are the worst polluters.”
