Live Earth

This week the biggest intelligence just roughly the environment ar the Live country concerts scheduled across the globe. Former Vice electric chair Al Gores vision of an international musical safari to fight global warming has been big news for moths with musical acts equivalent The legal philosophy and Smashing Pumpkins kicking off their reunion tours at the concerts.The caper with the media coverage of this even has been that it is mostly superficial. Stings announcement that The Police would use the concert to kickoff their reunion tour was bigger news than Gores efforts to find a centering to plan a concert in Antarctica, so that every seven continents would host sensation of the concerts. The concerts are being billed as a chance to breed 2 billion people together to raise awareness about global humour change, but the reality is very dinky about the concerts see to be promoting global environmental awareness.However, Live earth does seem to be promoting a sort o f international relations above and beyond the governments of nations. Though many of the concerts are in countries which are American allies, at least in some fashion, Gore has gone out of his way to include some big names that are in read of a climate wake up call. Live Earth China, in Shanghai, is in one of the fastest growing emitters of greenhouse gases. Live Earth Australia in Sydney will be under a hole in the ozone layer, but no one seems to be mentioning that.They are more arouse in the reunions of Genesis and Spinal Tap at Wembley Stadium. The remarkable subject from an international relations stand point is that it pulls together musical artists from all over the world and all genres of music. Unfortunately, the international relations that it seems to be set ahead are all feel good relations and require no actual effort from anyone involved. They simply have to show up and be entertained by some of the worlds top musicians and maybe listen to a few minutes of facto ids about global climate change.In reality, the Live Earth concerts appear to be doing little to promote actual environmental awareness or international relations. Instead, it seems to be little more than an excuse for an international day of music. There is nothing unseasonable with promoting peace and environmental awareness through music, but Live Earth seems like a farce.
