"With a powerhouse lineup of acts from the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Snoop Dogg to Bon Jovi,  what's being called "Live Earth" aims to gather more than 100 of the world's top musicians on July 7 — and attract 2 billion viewers, most of them via television, radio and the Web."

There is a huge problem with this.  I know for a fact, because of my last job, that the majority of singers and celebrities going to this will fly on private jets instead of commercial.  We can also include limos, hotels, food, gifts, etc. 

The money spent just getting there and back is about as much as they will raise.  So why not just give the money?

Publicity maybe? Well, even if it somewhat hypocritical, at least a lot of people are going to become aware of the situation.

True, but maybe this time, some people will actually feel compelled to do something since it's the 1932193th time they've heard of this issue.

They can feel good and get drunk together. Dinosaur acts like The Police and Pink Floyd have a good excuse to stop being pricks to each other and play some music.
