Concerts To Help Raise Awareness Of Global Warming
Feb. 15, 2007 — Recently nominated for a Nobel Prize and waiting to walk the red carpet at the Academy Awards, former Vice President Al Gore will unveil his next big endeavor today from Los Angeles: a single-day series of concerts to put the issue of climate change before a global audience.Modeled after 2005's Live 8 concerts highlighting African debt relief, the event is scheduled for July 7 with seven concerts on seven continents.
Gore is expected to make the announcement alongside musicians Jon Bon Jovi, Sting and Pharrell Williams.
This is a brilliant idea! Take the message far and wide. The science is there, sometimes you just have to use other avenues to get the message to people that might normally not understand. Once again Al Gore is ahead of the game.
Now sir if you'd just run for President! ;o) (The article also discusses that little tidbit.)
