Live Earth: Was It Worth It?

07/07/07: It was the two year anniversary of the London bombings. Wembley stadium filled with 65,000 people to see some of the largest names in music and to draw awareness to climate change.

But the question was: would it work? Would people make that switch to energy-saving light bulbs and save the planet? Or would it all be forgotten in a week and London would sit and wait for further floods and more tornadoes?

One way to find out was to head to Wembley and ask the people and witness their grasp on the issue of climate change, soon to be rebranded as Climate Chaos.

Something is rotten in Denmark

Live Earth was a crock of shit, just like the "global warming" deception it promoted. This concert generated more 'hot air' emissions than Africa uses in a decade.

By their fruits shall ye know them and politicians and 'celebrities' are beginning to expose themselves for the rotten worm-eaten figs that they really are.

Even the tabloid newpapers saw through it ( unlike the Independent with the sales and ad revenue it must have coined in through its green consumer ( ala Gruaniad and the Times - the latter having ways top cut your footprint next to the top 10 best luxury cars on its website ) agenda. Madonna has been roundly cricised (as property speculator and uber-materialist and climate criminal ) . Anybody that supports offsetting must deliberatley not want to know - fat bourgouis consumerist pricks. Bring on the guillotine and reclaim our land by any means necessary.
