Gore announces climate change concerts

By MICHAEL R. BLOOD

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Al Gore announced on Thursday a series of worldwide concerts to focus on the threat of climate change, with a powerhouse lineup from the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Snoop Dogg to Bon Jovi.

The 24-hour event on July 7 is part of a campaign, Save Our Selves - The Campaign for a Climate in Crisis, that promoters hope will trigger a broad movement to address what the former vice president calls a global climate crisis.

Looks like they're trying to turn this into quite the worldwide event...Al Gore as a rock star kinda scares me.

I think they need to get Buster on board to do "Hot, Hot, Hot."

I thought this was going to be about leaving Indy for Anguilla.

Al Gore, Rock Star? Will Tipper have to put the warning stickers on his cds?

[El mojito]

Maybe he could get Bill Clinton and he could play his horn for everyone.

maybe he can get Howard Dean to open, Howard certainly can scream with the best of 'em.

I thought Monica was the horn player?




sorry, couldn't leave that one alone

I'm assuming all of the musicians will be playing acoustic sets to save electricity. You have to use fossil fuels to generate power, don't you?

Maybe he could get Bill Clinton and he could play his horn for everyone.

Bill Clinton is strongly in favor of global warming.
He said the sooner it happens, the sooner his wife will thaw out.

The first concert was scheduled for Valentines Day 2007 in Boston, but was cancelled due to snow.

And it will be during the day so they don't need lights.

And they will all be performing from their houses so they don't need to use up gas to get to the venue.

Aw, darn it. I'll be in Key West then, so I'll just have to miss it.

Thank God, Gore invented the internet

[creeky]

We are getting one here ...

and there will also be a rock concert in Antarctica

[flyboy55]

Sounds like a good idea. I wonder if Buffett will play?

Of course, if this website is any indication, Buffett couldn't expect the audience to include very many parrotheads.

Unplugged. Yeah.

Probably not. Last I read even Al Gore was not signed up for the "slightly higher priced but better for the environment" power service into his own home. Me? I have solar panels on my home and I went into debt to do it.

[captenuta]

This seems like a enormous waste of energy.

This seems like a enormous waste of energy.

Unless they're powering it with wind or solar energy or any of the plethora of renewable resources (which alone are not as efficient as fossil fuels), you're right.
