Gore Jets in to UK (CO2 neutral, of course) & Live Earth
Al 'I-am-definitely-not-standing-as-a-candidate-for-the-presidency' Gore jetted in to the UK to warn us about something called climate change. Britain, currently - and contrary to climate predictions - is suffering one of the most changeable and wettest summers for a while. (Odd that Gore's message should be a warning about climate change then...). Now I have to say the timing of his visit could have been better. Haven't we in the Isles suffered enough terrorism these past days without hosting the world's no 1 Climate Terrorist?
The Ego now having landed I guess his visit has something to do with this weekend's global Live Earth Concert. For anyone that doesn't know what Live Earth is, it is where the world's leading pop and rock star 'intellectuals' queue up to parade their ignorance of life, love and the pursuit of happiness - oh yes, and how the climate works.
Newspaper reports suggest that choosing Shanghai to kick the global concerts off this weekend was an inspired - well the al-Guardian owned Observer did any way - choice. (Presumably that has something to do with the Chinese being a world leader in the leftwing propagandist stakes?) Gore expects around 2 billion people will be reached with his apocalyptic visions - wow, that's even more than suffered the Black Death (only 75 million).
In any event, no one has got around to calculating the CO2 emissions jetting all of these super stars around the globe and moving around countless hundreds of thousands to concerts will pump into the atmosphere. But they, all 2 billion, having a greater insight into the future, are more important than the rest of us (who should sit still and breathe only when we simply must).
