Al Gore, the former vice president and now hit documentary-maker, on Thursday added rock promoter to his resume, announcing plans for a 24-hour concert series around the world to highlight the dangers of global warming.The concerts, set for July 7, are part of a campaign, Save Our Selves--The Campaign for a Climate in Crisis, that promoters hope will trigger a broad movement to address what Gore calls a climate crisis.
Ban rock concerts, that is. Do you know how much juice those Marshall stacks suck up? Me either, but I'll bet it's a lot. And all that Bic-flicking is sending an entirely wrong message. Let's not even get into the pyrotechnic displays. Or trucking gear around and choppering in the talent.
It's time to share the pain, kiddies.

Actually the title "save our selves" is appropriate for the elite since everything is always about how they can profit off our backs.

How about the Global Warming conference in Ottawa that was cancelled because of the snow storm and freezing temperatures, most of the people flew there by soot producing jet engine Planes .
BTW, what happened to Jack Layton and his tirades to send troops to Darfur to stop the genocide and slaughter of women and children.
Layton must have figured out the Kyoto is now a priority because Global Warming means HIS soory butt is now in danger .

Al Gore hasn't even got to implementing energy-efficient gas and electricity usage programs for his giant mansions.
