Here’s the photo wire. Zeitgeist-changing planetary rescue efforts are already over or under way in Australia, Japan, Germany, and the UK. I don’t want to disappoint anyone but I hear Phil Collins’s set is already finished.
As is this guy’s. Reduce your carbon emizzles, my nizzles.
Exit question quotation:
A Daily Mail investigation has revealed that far from saving the planet, the extravaganza will generate a huge fuel bill, acres of garbage, thousands of tonnes of carbon emissions, and a mileage total equal to the movement of an army.
The most conservative assessment of the flights being taken by its superstars is that they are flying an extraordinary 222,623.63 miles between them to get to the various concerts - nearly nine times the circumference of the world. The true environmental cost, as they transport their technicians, dancers and support staff, is likely to be far higher…
She found that a Wembley-sized football match generated an ‘ecological footprint’ of 3,000 global hectares - an area the size of 4,166 football pitches. This is the amount of bioproductive land required to absorb the C02 emissions produced by such an event.
Update: More good news — John Dingell wants a federal carbon tax. But only to prove how unpopular it would be, you see.
Update: Six feet and one inch of pure coursing charisma, baby.
Update: Every story’s got a climate change angle today.
TERROR suspect Kafeel Ahmed asked his family to pray for him hours before he crashed a burning Jeep into Glasgow Airport…
Police in India were yesterday questioning his father Maqboo, mother Zakia, both doctors, and student sister Sadia about the phone calls. In the first message on May 5, according to the Times of India newspaper, Ahmed said: “I am involved in a large-scale confidential project. It is about global warming. I cannot reveal the details.
“The project has to be started in the United Kingdom. Various people from various countries are involved in this. There is an Indian with me and he is helping me out. He has given his car to me for travelling.”
Update: It’s a pro-life gathering!
Update: The fightin’ nutroots have fought, and triumphed, again!
“Some who don’t understand what is now at stake tried to stop this event on the Mall,” the former Democratic presidential candidate said in a thinly veiled hit on members of President George W. Bush’s Republican party.
“But here we are,” he said as an image of a bright Earth shined behind him. “And it wasn’t the cavalry who came to our rescue, it was the American Indian.”
A few hundred spectators turned out for the concert, which began at 10:30 am (1430 GMT).
Update: He’s bursting with love — and carbon credits! Your headline of the day:
Al Gore tried to rein in his adrenaline as the train churned between the two North American venues of his Live Earth concerts Saturday…
“I’m just so filled with enthusiasm and energy, I’m not letting you ask questions,” Gore said in an interview with The Associated Press.
Update: And so this day proves historic after all, my friends. Dork nirvana has been achieved.
Update: Never mind what I said. This is the headline of the day.
Update: The News Buckit has some fun video of Manbearpig sweating right through his shirt. Click the grungy photo to watch.

Seems like one big publicity stunt for me. Global warming is good for reviving the careers of politicians and rock stars. Something to get the money flowing again.
Crazy. People go for it. I guess most feel a need to belong to something.

For a better comparison use KWh not $. My electric bill here in Rhode Island would much much lower in Tennessee. If I used 500 KWh in Rhode Island my bill at year 2005 prices would be $76.25 and the same 500 KWh in Tennessee would be $38.70.
Here is the 2005 list

Wade on July 7, 2007 at 4:50 PM
Lol!!
I wonder how many of Gore’s PC friends want to slam him through a wall because he didn’t say “Native American.”
So that’s because you’re just a big ball of fire.
Suuuuuure it is. *wink*
Now as for me, I’ll stop breathing right now - I’m in danger of going over my CO2 quota for today. Goodbye.

Why does the left think that native Americans are some great protectors of the environment when exactly the opposite is true?

LOL! Al Gore appears in holograph form.
You can’t make this stuff up.

Even if he is real, he’s so shallow you can see through him anyway.

Good Lord. Not only is this guy not the sharpest knife in the drawer, he’s nowhere near the drawer.
infidel4life on July 7, 2007 at 5:25 PM
I know what you mean. My standard reaction to the econuts is to say that I’m going to go out and burn a tire. Actually, we did burn a tire on Earth Day 1990 because we were so sick of the media harping about the environment. We lit that sucker up and it burned for a good forty five minutes. Lots of smoke.
jaleach on July 7, 2007 at 5:26 PM
You’ve got a point. Maybe when the liberals throw a concert is the moment when that specific concern jumps the shark. Remember Hands Across America?
jaleach on July 7, 2007 at 5:29 PM
Very good point.
One of the biggest problems with liberals is that almost everything they do is counter-productive, even when they’re right about something.
For example, I’m still convinced that (thank God!) Michael Moore is the reason John Kerry isn’t President. If liberals just remained calm and used a little rational discourse, they’d get farther; instead, they mostly elect Republicans, and make people want to do the opposite of what they preach.
Nobody likes being told what to do. I know I’m not the only one that gets a craving for thick T-Bone every time I see a PETA ad. And I’m an animal lover.
If liberals cared about the environment instead of the politics, they’d lay off the hysteria, quit wasting time on concerts and protests (that do nothing but pollute the environment!), and really work towards some of the local, regional, and national solutions.
Imagine if George Soros took all the money he’d spent losing an election to George Bush and used it for research into alternative energy.
The sad truth is that liberals either make up the problems they protest … or when there really are problems, they don’t WANT them solved. What would they do all day if they weren’t griping?
Trust me - there are going to be a lot of depressed liberals when Dubya leaves office. He gave their lives meaning.
This is why they don’t want to hear good environmental news. This is why they do crap that makes normal people want to go burn tires and eat steak.
They don’t really want to fix things.
Professor Blather on July 7, 2007 at 5:37 PM
Hologram? Cool. Now they can see through him just like we do.

Appearing on a concert stage as a hologram, via the interweb which the Goreicle invented.
What’s not to love about that Man(bearpig)?
SilverStar830 on July 7, 2007 at 5:47 PM
Remember the book Animal Farm when the animals overthrew the farmers? The pigs took over and dictated to the animals what they could do, and pitched one 5-year plan after another. Meanwhile, while the animals worked and labored, the pigs lived like pigs in the house.
I get the same feeling when I see Al Gore and these rock stars. Al flies around the country, has big energy bills, and heats his pool in the winter. The rock stars are starving for publicity and money, their plugged-in amps blaring out for whatever cause will bring in the dough.
And they’re telling us to stop driving to work, taking the kids to school, and to turn off the appliances in the house.
No thanks. And the science isn’t even there. Man produces .11% of CO2 emissions. At what cost to cut that in half? And for what reason?

RightWinged on July 7, 2007 at 6:12 PM
I’ll “buy” the progressive line on CO2 when the environmentalists:
1. Stop opposing any and all nuclear power plants;
2. End their programs to dismantle hydroelectric dams to “make rivers wild again”; and
3. Stop blathering about solar energy and “wind farms”, and can pass a high-school level test on Ohm’s Law.
Of course none of the above will ever happen. The “mainstream” environmentalists are just one more group of scientifically-ignorant neo-Luddites who want to destroy our civilization so they can replace it with some sort of primitivist feudal “Ecotopia”, with themselves as the “nobility”, which (from all indications) would look uncomfortably like Cambodia under Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. The fact that at least 95% of the human race would perish in such a situation is not a problem for them, as they think there are too many people “oppressing Holy Mother Gaia” as it is. (Read Rainbow Six by Tom Clancy.)
But what else can you expect from people who think the ultimate solution to everything is getting, and staying, stoned?
(Preferably at everyone else’s expense…..)

Hopefully this will have the same impact as Woodstock..to illustrate the irrelevance of a misbegotten “movement.” I actually believe the silliness of this will be apparent to all and will ultimately be it’s swan song.

I must admit, I’m disappointed. No Spanish television. The Mexican channels are NOT showing any of this. We could use some of those Telemundo and Estudio 2 chicas for the cause. Oh, I forgot, they’re out foolin’ around with L.A. Mayor Tony Villar. They don’t have time for this? That’s a lie. They’re just busy?
DfDeportation on July 7, 2007 at 9:47 PM
Let’s put this statement in perspective. Every day, there are nine flights between my home town, Washington, and London, two cities that are 3,600 miles apart. Conservative estimate: Each of those nine flights has 300 people on board, for a total of 2,700 people. That means, each and every day, these people (obviously all of them earth-trashing, hypocritical limousine-liberal tree-huggers) fly an extraordinary 9,720,000 miles between them - nearly 391 times the circumference of the earth.
factoid on July 7, 2007 at 9:51 PM

I hope Hot Air has a posting for the Freedom Concerts and give it this much attention, maybe more. At least that serves a purpose to better people who did something to make it a better world and give us a better way of living.

Dear factoid 9,720,000 + 222,623.63 = 9,942,623.63
Add the several hundred I flew today, and how’s life better on Earth?
It would, however, be a bit better if companies would hold more conference calls versus shuttling arses to a place, often to just shake hands and tell each other how important they are, if this gorasm wouldn’t take place, if artsy types wouldn’t live such an Edwardian or Gorean life-style, not to speak of the Streisandian or Madonnean, and if I’d have stayed home.

Thankfully, there is nothing that we can do make a major alteration to the planet, like these dingbats think. Ironically, if we could somehow, stopping a naturually occuring cycle would probably be disastrous.
I love watching all these “free thinkers” being sucked into the biggest marketing ploy in history.

Speaking of movies (one of the links above is a lefty review of “Die Hard 4.0″), I saw “Transformers” yesterday. It’s resoundingly silly, of course–though in its defense it doesn’t presume to take itself seriously at all–and the eye-candy and effects are utterly freak-out mind-boggling cool.
However, I think the thing I like about it best is that, as we were leaving, one of my angry leftists co-workers complained that it glorified the US military. And sure enough, the Pentagon must’ve signed off on it; not only does it fail to portray US military personnel as child-raping eaters of babies, they’re actually the good guys! And there’s some nice custom-shot footage of F-22’s, CV-22’s, A-10’s, CH-53’s, and F-16’s.
Alas, they get pretty goofy when it comes to hardware-related dialogue about the hardware (somebody really needs to explain to the writers what a “sabot round” is, and someday I dream of a film or a TV show that comes to grip with the fact that the AMRAAM is not an air-to-ground weapon). But if you don’t mind a surprisingly fun blend of stupid and cool free of cloying leftist agenda, I actually recommend it (a thing I never thought possible for a Michael Bay movie).

I’d like to see photos of the Live Earth venues tomorrow. I’d be willing to bet the attendees have provided plenty of work for those who do the jobs Americans just won’t do.
Wingo on July 8, 2007 at 12:13 AM
But of course to Liberals its all about how you feel. So its worth the carbon footstomp as long as the players ‘feel good’ about it.
CrazyFool on July 8, 2007 at 12:47 AM
Imagine if all the plants had a fund raiser to cut down on the oxygen content in the atmosphere. How would we feel?
So what are the plants suppose to breath anyway when we cut down on the CO2? This whole global warming hoax will be a badge of dishonor for all of those stupid enought to buy into it. This will go the way of the global freeze hoax soon enough.

I didn’t think much about this at first… but does anyone think he didn’t do this deliberately? Does anyone think he couldn’t have say…. worn deodorant, or a different type of shirt? And undershirt?
This was done deliberately to pass on the image of “how hot it is” because the idiots who buy this crap won’t think “of course it’s hot, it’s the first week of friggin’ July!”
Was it even real sweat? I’d say it’s a 50/50 chance at best. I wouldn’t be surprised if the man behind the curtain instructed him to spray his pits to look like that? Conspiratorial thinking? Perhaps. But would you put it past these people? (By the way, folks like myself already won the argument over whether global warming is a conspiracy. Folks used to lump us in with Truthers because we knew it’s all a stepping stone to a New World Order, but the damn (new) Prime Minister of England said he wants to do exactly that)
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=070312082025.2ra592h4&show_article=1
Again, what do you think Kyoto, etc. is all about. Establishing global laws, etc. Global warming is the winner for the NWO folks, as they’ve gotten to the younger generations through the public school system. They’ve tried so many things… even recently SARS and bird flu didn’t pan out.
Anyway, I just wanted to point out what a stunt the “sweaty” Gore appears to be. Whether the sweat is real or not, I don’t doubt for a second that it was done and displayed very deliberately. Anyway, back to the dreary and unusually cold July I’m having, though we may get lucky enough to hit 80 tomorrow!
RightWinged on July 8, 2007 at 4:49 AM

Just like the liberal dhimms, instead of fighting a real enemy who’s declared war on us and is trying to kill us in every way, they fight against something they can’t really prove is actually happening, and they do it by having a freaking party!! Why the hell is Gore preaching all this crap and then going out and pissing all over the planet with his portable party when he should be battening down the hatches and tightening his belt??? How can these idiot people take him seriously… ? But then, I guess they are just like him, they don’t really give a cr@p about anything that’s going on around them, just themselves.
4shoes on July 8, 2007 at 11:02 AM
Al Gore wasn’t on the stage long enough to sweat. He made short appearances throughout the show, and spent the rest of the time in a surely air conditioned waiting area. The first time he took the stage a plane bearing the message “Don’t believe Al Gore - demanddebate.com” was circling the stadium. It was priceless.
ctmom on July 8, 2007 at 11:58 AM
Heh.
White, upper class liberal progeny of productive citizens whining about the effect of their upbringing. What could be more perfect?
Here’s what: the abortion-first/no ddt crowd claiming to be all about “saving life on earth”.
Triple Heh.
Jaibones on July 8, 2007 at 12:19 PM
I have a confession to make.
Here it is: I think if Al Gore runs for President, I might vote for him.
I know I shouldn’t. But you have to admit - the subsequent four (or eight?) years would be a laugh riot. Assuming we all survive, of course. But, golly gee-whiz … the entertainment potential would be almost limitless.
So I’m kind of torn. The good of the country and the world … versus my own amusement.
Not sure which way to go here.
I’m actually semi-serious. If you don’t get it, you aren’t fully imagining just how funny a President Gore would be. Think about it: a “green” White House? First Lady Tipper? His son the stoner Racer X in a Prius?
Imagine him dealing with a real world crisis. The sweaty pits. The lock box. The stone faced robotic drawl.
And if that’s not enough … the looks on liberals faces when he doesn’t save the world over night? Oh, sheesh. That’d be so funny I’m already on the verge of wetting myself just thinking about it.
The possibilities are endless. Imagine being the wiesenheimer who - after the next major terrorist attack - stands up and points out that by failing to prevent it, Gore just allowed the release of massive amounts of carbon (and body parts and stuff, but that’s not important).
Seriously. Every day would be like a night at a comedy club.
Gore in ‘08. Cuz Armageddon is funny.
