Live Earth Concerts Begin Today

[red states rule]

You obviously do care since you've put at least 10+ posts into the thread.

Its amazing the amount of hatred and disgust for people who merely have a different pov than you do.

Upset? Not at all

I find it typical of the left - they put on shows to call attention to the myth of gloabl warming - yet the organizers and performers are traveling there in private jets, riding around in SUV's, and PETA is selling meat products at the shows

What a hoot the left is

 

[red states rule]

Well ??? Did you take Als' oath or not?

Al would not take Als own oath when he was before Congress

Besides Al's home (one of four) in TN uses 20 times the energy of the average Americans home. Not to mention the energy Al's private jet consumes as he travels the world to warn of our pending doom if WE do not change our ways. (Al never changes his ways however)

More liberal hypocrisy - nothing new

1. Have fun.

2. Ask the many, like you, who might be watching to do a teeny tiny bit more to conserve resources and recycle.

I was going to throw aluminum can into the garbage, but I think that I will have it be recycled. I think that you can get 1 cent per can if you take aluminum cans to recycling centers. I’m not an “environmentalist wacko” but I do a tiny bit here and there.

Before you lecture the right on conservation - please speak to the people who are telling us to conserve



Live Earth is promoting green to save the planet - what planet are they on?
Last updated at 15:42pm on 7th July 2007

For while the organisers' commitment to save the planet is genuine, the very process of putting on such a vast event, with more than 150 performers jetting around the world to appear in concerts from Tokyo to Hamburg, is surely an exercise in hypocrisy on a grand scale.

Matt Bellamy, front man of the rock band Muse, has dubbed it 'private jets for climate change'.

A Daily Mail investigation has revealed that far from saving the planet, the extravaganza will generate a huge fuel bill, acres of garbage, thousands of tonnes of carbon emissions, and a mileage total equal to the movement of an army.

The most conservative assessment of the flights being taken by its superstars is that they are flying an extraordinary 222,623.63 miles between them to get to the various concerts - nearly nine times the circumference of the world. The true environmental cost, as they transport their technicians, dancers and support staff, is likely to be far higher.

The total carbon footprint of the event, taking into account the artists' and spectators' travel to the concert, and the energy consumption on the day, is likely to be at least 31,500 tonnes of carbon emissions, according to John Buckley of Carbonfootprint.com, who specialises in such calculations.

Throw in the television audience and it comes to a staggering 74,500 tonnes. In comparison, the average Briton produces ten tonnes in a year.

The concert will also generate some 1,025 tonnes of waste at the concert stadiums - much of which will go directly into landfill sites.

Moreover, the pop stars headlining the concerts are the absolute antithesis of the message they promote - with Madonna leading the pack of the worst individual rock star polluters in the world.

Sepermodel Kate Moss, another profligate polluter through her use of private jets, is producing a T-shirt for the event. Yet, Gore is touting the concerts as 'carbon neutral'. So how can that be?

Frankly, I'm not interested in debating global warming with the last few dead-ender denialists. The vast majority of the planet has moved on, and every single major scientific body on the planet, with expertise in climate science, has concluded humans are affecting the climate adversly.

Even your own President Bush, admits we have to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

Maybe its humiliating to admit you were wrong, given that you and your NeoCon buddies spent the last 20 years denying something that we should have started working on at least a decade ago. But, there's so few of you flat-earth denialists left anymore, that its really not even worth debating with you. We've passed the tipping point on this. Sorry.

A "decade ago" the Clinton/Gore administration ran the show. Blaming the NeoCons for the 8 years that Clinton/Gore wasted is ludicrous. Gore's only interest in the environment is his hopes that it will provide him a stepping stone to personal glory and make him a lot of bucks in the process.

He IS making big bucks. He buys his "carbon offsets" from HIS OWN company

Al Bore is laughing all the way to the bank

I wonder if "carbon offsets" come in different denominations. I would like to purchase 10 cents worth and show it to all my friends.

Gore's 'carbon offsets' paid to firm he owns
Critics say justification for energy-rich lifestyle serves as way for former VP to profit

Al Gore defends his extraordinary personal energy usage by telling critics he maintains a "carbon neutral" lifestyle by buying "carbon offsets," but the company that receives his payments turns out to be partly owned and chaired by the former vice president himself.

Gore has built a "green money-making machine capable of eventually generating billions of dollars for investors, including himself, but he set it up so that the average Joe can't afford to play on Gore's terms," writes blogger Dan Riehl.

Gore has described the lifestyle he and his wife Tipper live as "carbon neutral," meaning he tries to offset any energy usage, including plane flights and car trips, by "purchasing verifiable reductions in CO2 elsewhere."

But it turns out he pays for his extra-large carbon footprint through Generation Investment Management, a London-based company with offices in Washington, D.C., for which he serves as chairman. The company was established to take financial advantage of new technologies and solutions related to combating "global warming," reports blogger Bill Hobbs.

I've planted many a tree in my life time and I want to exchange those earned carbon credits for gold.

Are we born with any carbon credits or do we start out with zero ? I ain't paying for any credits my parents wasted on me because I didn't authorize them to do so.

On Earth Day I drive around all day with my muffler off - does that count?

Oh, the horror!

Al Gore invests in his own company!

I didn't realize you hated capitalism, RSR.

Another liberal thing where nothing is accomplished - except Al rips off the suckers - eh, his customers

At least concert goers got to hear some good tunes. Hopefully they now feel quilty enough to send Al tons of money.

Are the fires in Nevada evidence that the Earth is trying to kill itself ?

I see. You have no response to the fact that it is an entirely reasonable and capitalist thing to do, to invest in your own company.

Carry on with your childish rants, then.

No it is Bush's fault

NBC Features Woman Blaming Wildfires on Environmental Regulations
Posted by Brad Wilmouth on June 27, 2007 - 01:22.
On Tuesday's NBC Nightly News, while reporting from Lake Tahoe, correspondent George Lewis relayed one homeowner's complaint that environmental regulations had contributed to the danger of wildfires in the area. She further contended that the only reason her home survived was because she had cleared away brush near her home in violation of the law. Lewis: "She blames environmentalists and bureaucrats for creating rules that, in her opinion, increased the fire hazard. Says she had to break the law to clear brush off adjacent federal land."

Have YOU paid for all the damage you have done to the earth ? Pay up, you Earth raper !!! Call AL to see how much you owe him.

Considering the carbon offsets do NOTHING to improve the enviroment - it is a ripoff and all it does so is make libs feel warm and fuzzy all over

Your "average" lib hasn't spent a dime on carbon offsets. They feel good by just by expressing opinions regarding what others should do.

Al does that very well

Just slap a bumper sticker on your car that says "don't pollute" and you can feel better than everyone who doesn't have one. Being a lib is easy.
