Quips from Live Earth, the narcissistic ineffective strokefest excuse for a concert that thinks it’s saving the planet:

From the Associated Press article by Rebecca Santana: “Of course we’re here to enjoy the music,” said Trudie Styler, wife of Police frontman Sting. But the concerts also show that “people are finally taking this precious planet seriously,” she said.

Ha! No, it doesn’t, Trudie. If people were taking the planet seriously, they wouldn’t be endorsing the wasteful shameless act you’re attending. How much electricity and jetfuel is being used to put on thie spectacle? How much litter, heat, and CO2 is being generated? Sanctimonious twits.

Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas was among a handful of stars to write a song specifically about the climate crisis for Live Earth. “The world is dying,” he rapped. “If people say it’s all right, they’re lying.”

Pro.ve.it, Billy. Prove it. (How high is that song going to climb the charts?) And then there’s Gore:

“Global warming is the greatest challenge facing our planet, and the gravest we’ve ever faced,” said Gore, who in his holographic appearance wore the only suit in sight. “But it’s one problem we can solve if we come together as one and take action and drive our neighbors, businesses and governments to act as well. That’s what Live Earth is all about.”

The gravest threat we face is a 25 mile rock in space on a collision course with Earth. Something like that could spank the carbon footprints right out of us. Climate change, the real name for shifts in the plant’s environment, is real and is, somewhat contradictorily, constant. Climate, by it’s very nature, changes. The question is how much does man’s activities impact it, and Mr. Gore is a fool if he thinks we know, definitively one way or the other, the answer to that.
