Al Gore Rocks Against Global Warming

Submitted by B_Werner

Edited by erin_broadley

Since Al Gore hasn't put in a bid for the 2008 presidential race, he has time for other things like booking a 24-hour benefit show. Gore has announced his plans for Live Earth, which will take place on seven continents and feature 100 high-profile artists.

The show aspires to attract two-billion listeners and viewers via radio, Internet broadcasts and television specials. According to reports, the first crop of artists confirmed for the event include the Foo Fighters, Fall Out Boy, AFI, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kelly Clarkson, Korn, Snoop Dogg and Bon Jovi. The shows will happen in Sydney, Australia; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Shanghai, China; London, England; Kyoto, Japan; Johannesburg, South Africa and an as-of-yet undetermined American city.

Gore also claims that even residents of Antarctica will enjoy the first rock show ever staged on their continent. Penguins and polar bears are stoked.
The marathon-length show will benefit initiatives put forth by the Save Our Selves campaign and is scheduled to take place on July 7.

Enjoy your UN tax if these propaganda tricksters get their way. Earth's warming is caused by the sun, and has very little to do with human activity on the planet.

The other planets in the solar system are warming as well so it's obviously the sun doing it.

This "Live Earth" reeks of Live Aid, in which money raised was used to force inoculate Africans with virus infected vaccines. Live Aid = genocide.

i was going to reply to you, but i checked out your blog and it's an awesome entry (in all caps no less) about 9-11 conspiracies.

you do realize that the man is wiretapping you right now, right? i mean, it's obvious, the mind-control rays are coming through your computer. the only way to protect yourself is to get far, far away from the internet and never post on sg again.

for serious.

Not so fast, Albert. Your wife and some of her friends are reviewing your musical selections...

While the earth does have natural cycles of warming and cooling (some of which have to do with solar activity), we're definitely tipping the balance. Even a lot of scientists who were skeptical a few years ago are changing their tune. I like conspiracy theories too, but mostly for entertainment, not to take them seriously.
I'm not in favor of a UN tax, but that's because I'm not really in favor of the UN.
However, B_Werner, you messed up: there are no polar bears in Antarctica.
