The REAL reason for the Concerts for a Climate in Crisis:
Why, it's the Warm Fuzzies, of course! If there's one thing Environuts and Democrats are excellent at, it's the Warm Fuzzies!
They gave an ENTIRE PLANET the Warm Fuzzies.
But the biggest, warmest fuzzy of all is the one Al Gore got.
Never mind "Street Cred", this was just another method of Gore to get "Carbon Cred". Never mind that he uses 10-12 TIMES the amount of energy as a family of four, he *CARES* about the planet! Look at what he organized.
The problem is, the Warm Fuzzies do about as much to reduce the actual POLLUTION on the planet as Carbon Credits do. Absolutely nothing, nada, zip, zero, zilch.
And, do you think *all* of the people there were there to 'raise conciousness about a planet in distress'? Hell NO! Shoot, I would have gone to see the Foo Fighters! They put on a HELL of a show!
And I probably would have driven there in my Supra, you know, the one that just barely passed emissions testing. And since it's effectively a two seater, I would have had only one other person with me. The other members of the band could have gone in their truck.
So, Gore gets his "Carbon Cred"
We all get the Warm Fuzzies
The bands make money and get to travel and play all over the world (Jack Johnson played in Sydney AND New York)
And the Earth, effectively, gets a big, fat NOTHING! Except a dozen traffic jams all over the world, and an extra dose of energy usage for a complete 24 hours.
And everyone FEELS GOOD about it!!! YAY!!!!
