Frustrated things are not moving fast enough? Well leave it to Al Gore to continue fighting Global Climate Change in new innovative ways. Al Gore is launching Live Earth, the concerts for a climate in crisis.
Directly from Live Earth’s website:
Live Earth will use the global reach of music to engage people on a mass scale to combat our climate crisis. Live Earth will bring together more than 150 of the world’s top musicians for 24-hours of music from 7 concerts across all 7 continents. Live Earth will bring together an audience of more than 2 billion at the concerts and through television, radio, film, and the Internet. That audience, and the proceeds from the event, will create the foundation for a new, multi-year global effort to combat the climate crisis led by Vice President Al Gore. Kevin Wall, Worldwide Executive Producer of Live 8, is producing Live Earth.
All Live Earth venues will be designed and constructed by a groundbreaking team of sustainability engineers and advisors directed by John Picard. This greening team will address the environmental and energy management concerns of each concert site, as well as the operations of sponsors, partners, and other Live Earth affiliates.
Each venue will not only be designed to maintain a minimum environmental impact, but will showcase the latest state-of-the-art energy efficiency, on-site power generation, and sustainable facilities management practices.

It’s too bad Al Gore will never be elected President of the USA with views like that.
It’s a shame because it’s exactly what this country would need.

100% agree. I think if we were running again this time he would win. But he doesn’t want to, he’s too tired of politics.
As for Canada, we have such idiots for prime ministers, it hurts!
