Everyone is not aware of global warming though. They think they are but how many can really tell you about it or explain it?

What has his money got to do with it? I'm tired of this reverse snobbery. You have money thus you can't preach to me. It's absurd. You're still ignoring the logistics of it. That 10x energy and x amount of money he is using to put on televised rock concerts is attempting to save more than enough power/raise x more money that was spent putting it on in the first place. That's the idea.

You need to reach a global audience in a way that appeals to them. How do you think the ratings for Live Aid and Live 8 would have done if it didn't have anything to do with music for christ sake.

Geldof and Bono are doing a hell of a lot more with their means than I am with mine and for that I applaud them. Who are my to scrutinise if they 'mean it' just because they are famous.
