I think that one of the reasons “Live Earth” was not that big was because people at home could not get
involved personally.At “Live Aid” viewers could call in and donate money and feel like they had accomplished something good.It also was billed as a concert to “raise awareness” about Global Warming.But Global Warming is all we’ve been hearing about for a long period of time.If people are not aware of it by now,they never will be.Thank you.

Got a chuckle from a Glenn Beck email title”

July 9th: Live Earth, Dead Audience

Part of the message:

Ratings for Al Gore’s Live Earth concerts are coming in and they are not good. On NBC it did worse than normal programming for that slot, which includes repeats and NHL hockey, and finished in last place. In the UK, only 2 million watched, as opposed to 10 million for the Live 8 concerts. Perhaps people were just outside enjoying the beautiful, slightly cooler than average temperatures over the weekend. Or, more likely, people are starting to recognize the hypocrisy of environmentalists putting on an event like this, that uses up more energy than some entire countries use.

Ha!!

One more thing, Al Gore is out there telling people about there carbon footprint. After reading that his carbon footprint is giant, shouldn’t they fire him as a spokesman. Maybe they could get Laura Bush as a spokesperson, as the Bush Ranch has proven to be eco-friendly.

My Favorite quote about this idiocy was, “we have to use carbon to save carbon”. Isn’t that alot like “We had to destroy the village in order to save the village” Vietnam quote?? Hello Kettle, this is the pot calling. – Lorica

The celebrities are out there telling us to conserve energy and they are the worst offenders. I’m all for conserving energy and can’t stand to see waste, but, I really think these celebs should be avoiding this issue because it sheds light on how terrible they are when it comes to conservation.

A huge load of bollox, end of story. Most people know this and value their time enough not to waste it on pompous hypocritical celebrities who go around preaching from their private jets and buses. Screw!

I heard that the Dave Matthews Band travels with 7 tour busses(one for each member), one more for the roadies, and a tractor-trailer for the equipment.

I didn’t watch any of the “Live Earth” broadcast – it’s not my kind of entertainment. These events don’t have any lasting, meaningful effect on anything. Hoping the weenie and t-shirt vendors did well.

I think all that hot air contributes to global warming.
