The Live Earth concerts have drawn to a close, with the curtain going down in New Jersey in the US, after a finale performance from The Police.
...
But critics have said it was hypocritical for performers who fly around the world on tours to push the message of cutting down on carbon emissions.
George Marshall of the Climate Outreach Information Network told the BBC: "Having the richest people in the world saying, 'Hey! We all need to cut back a bit!' is, let's face it, absurd."
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."

"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?
Let's all care about the Earth, eh?
Stewards of the earth, huh?
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.
manbearpig probably wasn’t mentioned at any of the concerts
What about CHICKEN LITTLE?
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.)

I'm not sure what you mean by the phrase that I made bold above.
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).
That’s 2-1/2 mile track.
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.
I see your Socialism and raise you with Capitalistic hedonism.
