Do you really think the concerts are responsible for more CO2 emissions than all the dirty coal electricity plants run by the Chinese government? Or all the emissions produced by aircraft from a major airline or a shipping company like FedEx? Or the daily operations of the United States military, with all their gas-guzzling Hummers and armoured vehicles, not to mention hundreds of diesel-burning ships and thousands of jet aircraft?
Seriously?

I didn't think that any of the coal electricity plants counted towards the carbon reduction plans in Kyoto because they're a developing nation.
BTW, I'm just having fun with you. But out of all of the audiences at this concept how many people do you think put in thier ipod headphones and listened to music during Al Gore's speech, and all of the videos because all they came out for was ROCK AND ROLL, CHICKS and GRASS.
These concerts do very little to raise awareness or affect changes. There were better ways to promote environmental issues then a rock concert.
