Kofi Bentil makes some valid points, especially about the hypocritical attitude of Westerners that believe in GW: 'We've got ours, but you can't have yours'.

Unbelievable...

"But in its Rough Guide to a Better World it advocates "Development by Dung" and claims, "As poor countries develop, it is essential that they do not follow the same failed patterns of energy use."

So really, their intent is to deprive poverty-stricken developing nations the means, resources and tools to climb out of poverty. Brilliant...

"So it's dung not diesel for Africa - while India and China soar ahead because they are too big, and nuclear-armed, to stop."

These two nations won't stop because they have an intellectual pool large enough to realize what the real intent of the Enviro-taliban is. These nations are smart enough to tell them to bugger off.

Also, isn't one other message they aren't advertising much about Live Earth is that they think the population of the Earth should be only 2 billion? Not ~4.5 Billion?

At least they are consistently inconsistent. Does the name "Live Earth" become sort of an Oxymoron when they feature artists from a religion that wants it to die?

Any day now we'll see Revs. Jesse and Al in front of the microphones and cameras decrying Gore's crusade as racist, right? Right? Anyone? Bueller?

Thanks for posting this article. Economic prosperity is essential to the environment. Only when a nation’s standard of living is high can people afford to combat pollution.

The elites in the West always have the same answer for the poverty of the developing world. Throw birth control at them and insist they make abortion legal.

While 90% of this is right on the mark, mankind discovered the chimney over 1,000 years ago and as a result homes did not have much smoke in them.
