Is this concert for green Earth or Africa help????

Do concerts like these really do anything to help causes? I bet the concerts use more electricity, resources, than an African country in a day.

Bill Gates can give Africa $50 billion to Darfur and it probably still won't solve its problems!

It wouldnt solve their problems because the country is curropt and the people wouldnt see the money.

bringing awareness to people and spreading humane ideals is a positive thing.

How the hell could anyone not be aware of "Global Warming" at this point? Honestly?

I caught the quick Garth Brooks segment and that was it.

I appreciate the fact that they are trying to do something to better the world, but I don't like Al Gore at all and I don't want any part of anything he is involved in.

It's so funny when they get rappers to go on stage with people like Sting. It's so obvious he never heard "Message in a Bottle" so his whole routine is just, "Yeah-Yeah. Uh-Huh. Up here with Sting Yo. Message in a Bot-Bot-Bot-Tel. Yeah!"

It's not like Sting gets on stage when rappers are doing their sh*t and ruins their songs by singing (I guess except for that song Poof Daddy robbed).

The hypocrisy of these shows is utterly astounding.

Lemmings like you and I are supposed to reduce and conserve our energy consumption and our use of non-renewable resources. The celebrities and politicians behind these shows get to continue flying in their private fossil-fuel burning jets, stay in presidential suites at hotels that consume enough energy to power a small neighborhood, yet can call it even because they performed for a few hours at a rock concert which will change no minds present (those that are there are just their for the music, or they are already "aware" of the issue) and yield no lasting change.

Yep. But the Gore Kool-Aid sippers will continue to drink.

I believe the figure is that all the "stars" and celebs travelled about 275,000 miles between themselves to the concert. I'd like to see the calculations on how much fossil fuel was burned and how many "carbon credits" Al will be purchasing to "offset" their impact on the environment.

It has been estimated that between the actual concerts, web streaming and television broadcasting, the Live Earth concert series could produce as much as 200,000 metric tons of carbon, after the conversions from electricity have been calculated. In other words, the Gore concerts could produce more carbon dioxide than was produced by all of Afghanistan in 2006.
