Climate change concert star Madonna accused of hypocrisy
By RICHARD SIMPSON -10th April 2007
The stars of a major Live 8-style concert to raise awareness of climate
change have been condemned as hypocrites for failing to lead
environmentally friendly lives themselves.
The likes of Madonna and Red Hot Chili Peppers will perform at Live
Earth at Wembley Stadium on July 7, yet campaigners say they are among
the least "green" individuals on the planet.
More than 100 rock and pop stars will perform during the 24-hour live
concert.
But green campaigners called the stars' involvement hypocritical last
night saying their lifestyles which demand they jet themselves and their
huge entourages on world tours give them enormously large carbon footprints.
Last year, for example, they report how Madonna flew as many as 100
technicians, dancers, backing singers, managers and family members on a
56-date world tour in private jets and commercial airliners.
Madonna herself also has a collection of fuel-guzzling cars, including a
Mercedes Maybach, two Range Rovers, Audi A8s and a Mini Cooper S. Yet
she will headline the London concert to "combat the climate crisis".
"Madonna's Confessions tour produced 440 tonnes of CO2 in four months of
last year. And that was just the flights between the countries, not
taking into account the truckloads of equipment needed, the power to
stage such a show and the transport of all the thousands of fans getting
to the gigs.

Its getting more and more absurd. The worst offenders telling everyone
else what to do. The only good news is that CO2 really has nothing to
do with global warming so this is all BS anyway.

Yup - of course the conservatives are just as bad. Draft-dodgers like
Bush and cheney and giuliani and limbaugh babbling about how they
support the troops.

That's not their job. Their job, as the wise people they are,
is to tell the rest of us what we're wrong about and what to do to fix
it. Man! Don't you get it?

... and manure between the ears of everyone who attended.
