Has anyone else been watching this? I've been here in front of my TV all day watching the performances. This is probably one
the of biggest concerts in history and for one of the most important issues of modern day (global warming and the protection
& preservation of the environment). It's happening all over the world in 9 different cities. If you're not already watching, then
find some time and watch it.

Yeah, I'm watching it right now. Good performances so far and hopefully it goes to a good cause. What's a bit ironic is the amount of garbage left by the fans at the various concert venues. Makes me wonder if people actually care about the environment, or are just there for the party.
I watched a bit of it. I saw the bestie boys and frankly they sucked...
Yeah, I'm watching it too.
Personally I don't have a side on the issue though. It's hard to tell if global warming is a real issue or if it's another part of Earth's cycle. There isn't enough evidence for me to say yes or no.
As for the concerts, Al Gore avoided a lot of the questions asking about the irony of garbage left behind and the impact that the concerts have on the environment. He also tried to avoid the question of if he was going to run as president and if he had a chance would he.
My favorite performances throughout the whole event were Snow Patrol, James Blunt, Metallica, Foo Fighters, and Dave Mattews.
If you guys started watching the second half of it, then you probably missed most of the good stuff (IMO). But the artists are just
there to get our attention. The main purpose was to educate us about the climate crisis though those short films that they showed
before the ads. I hope this helped educate some people.
Well i personally don't believe it's happening. I know a lot a bout global warming because they had scientists come in an talk to us about it, and we watched movies and stuff. After all of that i still don't think it's happening. I think everythign is cyclical just like the seasons, and currently we are in the hot time.
There is proof that there has been global warming before, along with a few ice ages. It's a cycle, that is what it sounds like to me.
If its saying protect the glob then you shouldnt be watching TV XD
Yeah. Say the level of carbon dioxide in the air is related to temperature (Probably true, but the direction of relation is debateable) - How much frikken carbon dioxide are they putting into the air for these concerts? xDD
Live earth can chomp on my cock I have my reasons.
You guys know that 100% of all the world's serious scientists think that the greenhouse effect is for real, right? Not enough proof my ASS! My father is a professional in this area and has travelled to Italy and Germany to talk about the global warming. I am pretty active too. People who still are unsure just hasn't gotten all the facts yet and that upsets me.
The Live earth concerts was a great idea. I hope more stuff like this will come up soon.
I agree with Rabies.
And even if you're skeptical about humanity's impact on the planet's warming and cooling, we should still try to take care of it to the best of our abilities. Get rid of that big-ass SUV, plant a few trees (my journalism teacher's one of the wisest men I know and he's planted over 1000 near his house), and instead of denouncing those who think we're heading towards a real crisis, I'd recommend promoting alternate energy research and green living because we're ALL fucked if we (everyone on the planet, but mostly China and America) don't stop tearing through the non-renewable fuels like oil and natural gas, which in turn release those emissions which have everyone up in arms.
Two birds with one stone. Or solar panel.
p.s.- Live Earth was awesome. The Police rocked my socks before Kanye West made me vomit.
I agree with Virtue, partially...I think.
I'm not into the "Oh dear god, global warming!" but I do support saving the environment and protecting it through various ways. I don't really see why people have such big trucks when most of them don't use them for anything other than looking cool. There should be laws that restrict owning such large vehicles for no use whatsoever.
As for The Police...they did rock, I love Sting. And then Kanye West came and destroyed the world with his voice.
Lol know what kills me though? Why are these fucking hypocrites called artists are performing at a protect the earth concert..? Aren't they the ones driving around in hummers and SUV's and shit? Seriosuly if they want to protect the earth maybe they should start by getting a hybrid instead of ANOTHER FUCKING ESCALADE.
That wasn't really the point. Without the music, the message wouldn't have reached 2 billion viewers and then it would have been all for nothing.
It can be taken both ways, some take it as a free concert, others as a good way to spread the message on global warming. Personally I think events like these really do help. There is no denying that the world is warming. Some people need to wake up.
