BBC uses a Tempature Chart
Explain 1940-1975 Temperature Drop?
Prior to 1860?

"If you want to save the planet let me see you jump."
This seems to be the message of the whole eco-"movement". Only the hoops that they want us to jump through are really high.

A performance filled with sound and silliness and signifying nothing.

Wannabet that all those eco-friendly kids left thousands of pounds of trash in each venue?

Thousands of plastic cups were left on the Wembley Stadium floor at the end of the London concert, despite organisers urging the audience to put them into recycling bins provided. Let's all care about the Earth, eh?

Japanese singer Ayaka urged people to do what they could. "We can start helping by doing something small," she said. "I started to carry my own eco-bag so I don't have to use plastic grocery bags, and use my own chopsticks instead of disposable ones." Al Gore must be proud.

Noone ever polluted the planet more than those faux musicians. Let that be the end of freaks and god awful screeching.

As I posted previously, why go to a CONCERT, when you can stay at home, and read
the BOOK:
Once upon a time there was a dear little chicken named Chicken Little.
One morning as she was scratching in her garden, a pebble fell off the roof and hit her on the head.
"Oh, dear me!" she cried, "the sky is falling.
I must go and tell the King," and away she ran down the road... |

ok, but look at this from another point of view:
making one step back to make three steps forward.
*If* Life Earth will really cause an advancement in climate protection, the positive consequences will be much more connotatively in comparison to the trash the visitors of the concerts made.
(Focus on “if”. I dunno if such an event, even a really big one, will cause deciding changes in the minds and doings of people.)

But if people, already predisposed to the "message" of protecting (from this Goracious monster called Global Warming) the Earth (by virtue of participation in this extravaganza) will trash the place (despite pleas from the organizers to recycle the cups), then this will stand ZERO chance of converting anyone from an opposing or even apathetic opinion (which is just as well in my book).

Well, while all these eco-terrorists were admiring AlGore and all those loser entertainers, I, along with a couple hundred thousand of my closest friends, was in Daytona watching those gas guzzling NASCAR boys, tour the 2-1/2 track. Not to mention, a nearly half hour fireworks show afterwards.

You probably left the place cleaner than the assorted sheeple riff-raff did. That just shows what hypocrites they are.
I have always recycled everything possible, shut off the lights, all that, but I do not take orders from people like (any) Kennedy or Sting.
I heard Sting brag: “I am a rock star so I leave a huge global footprint. But I taught my kids to turn off the lights.”
And his beaming wife and the idiot “reporter” were all proud of him.

Madonna brought London's Live Earth concert to a close, playing a song she had written for the event. After performing Hey You accompanied by children in school uniform, the singer swore at the audience and told them: "If you want to save the planet let me see you jump."
