Al Gore is a moron though-- he offered no hope whatsoever in his film, he just said "The earth is fucked and there isn't anything we can do about it." I'd say he's part of the problem, not the solution. Why would we want to care about something we can't change?
Some of his statistics were off too. I was told he claimed that in the next however many years, the ocean would rise 60 feet. Scientists say only one or two.

Though i don't think the concerts are a good idea because the concerts AREN'T good for the environment... Flights for the artists, the lights and stage, people coming to there with the car (you know that not all people will go with the bus as Gore wants...) all the garbage people make....
+ There is no clear objective... with Live Aid, the artists asked for money, which was very clear, but i don't think all the people will be more attentive about the global warming... I think most of the people just see a chance to see a lot of artists in 1 show...
+ Actually only in America and Europe it's hot news, i asure you people from Asia, Africa, Middle-East or South-America totally aren't interested in the warming...
Last : i think U2 made the good dicission with no performing at this show, they know they have spilled (and still spill) too much energy...
Originally posted by wtshnnfb01Can't you just apreciate the music? Snow Patrol,Genesis,Duran Duran,Bon Jovi and The Police were all great. Shame U2 wasen't there. What do you think woulda made a good setlist for them? I'd have gone with,
1.Streets
2.New Years Day
3.A Sort of Homecoming (woulda made a great surprise)
4.Love and Peace or Else
What would you have had them perform?
