Al Gore and musicians join to help fight climate crisis.

Snoop Dogg, Pharrell Williams, Akon, Robin Thicke and the Black Eyed Peas will join over 100 other performers from around the world in a seven-continent concert to raise global warming awareness. The performances, called Live Earth: The Concert for a Climate in Crisis, will occur on July 7, 2007, over 24 hours. On Thursday, Al Gore, Cameron Diaz, Williams and others unveiled the plans for the concerts, which are expected to be viewed by over 2 billion people across the world via television, radio and the internet. Proceeds will go towards The Alliance for Climate Protection, a Gore-helmed initiative to fight global warming. While Gore heads the project, several musicians reached out to him about the concert first, including the Black Eyed Peas, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Pharrell Williams. "This atmosphere is being abused," said Williams in a press conference held yesterday. It's something we need to take seriously. I'm thrilled to be a part of the planning [of this concert]. [This is] an integral moment of the history of our planet." The performances will occur in Antarctica, Shanghai, Sydney, Johannesburg, London and cities to be announced in Brazil, Japan and the United States. More information and a list of performers is available here.

I think this is a good move to inform these f*****z that we are not liking what there are doing to the environment.

Errr no you cant say this concert is an integral moment of the history of our planet until its shown some results. Typical.

It will take more than this, the main changes need to be changing how we run our vehicles.

By acting today, the world of tommrow
can be a promising place. ideas, both new and old might be applied to solve
long term problems often ignored by
those with little to gain from change
nevertheless change is upon us?
