Live Earth II

Tim Blair has some poignant thoughts on the matter:

"We’ve been out-carboned by Big Environmentalism. There’s simply no way we can come close to matching the colossal carbon output of Gore and his musical mates. But it’s not as though Live Earth is grotesquely, hypocritically excessive, oh no; as executive producer Keith Wall explains:

'Most artists are coming from nearby areas. Madonna, for example, lives in London and will be performing at Wembley.'

And once at Wembley - a tiny village green, I believe - Madonna’s acoustic performance will be enjoyed by 200 vegans, all of whom live within five miles and travel by mule."
