Al Gore had a wonderful idea and joined with fellow earth Activist, Cameron Diaz to raise awareness on global warming. They had decided to think Big... like "Live Aid." They will broadcast a concert to all seven continents with big performers such as Kanye West, The Police, Madonna, Red Hot Chili Peppers just to name a few. On the roster, there would be various scientists, government leaders, athletes on hand to offer their views and support to the cause. There could be more than one million audience members and more than 2 billion viewers. The concert will be broadcast by radio, Internet and television reaching audiences all over the world. They agreed to call the concert, "Live Earth." It will raise awareness on global warming.

Rising average temperatures have already been affecting the environment. Some have observed changes already such as glaciers sinking, the break-up of ice on some rivers and lakes. The lengthening of seasons and the shift in animal and plant ranges. Global temperatures are expected to rise as human activities continue to add Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous-oxide and other green house gases to the atmosphere.
Did you know you release greenhouse gases as a result of using energy to drive? You use electricity, and other activities that support your quality of life like growing food, throwing away garbage. Whenever possible, buy and use permanent items instead of disposables. Instead of throwing away usable items, why not donate them to charities. Recycle paper, plastics and bottles. Take those items to a recycle center or find out if your community offers curbside collection. If your city doesn't already, find about getting your community started with one.

Great article, and I liked the concerts...awareness is critical, if we are to counter the head in the sand fictions coming from the right. Good job!

I really respect the work Al Gore is doing these days, and this sounds like a great awareness idea.

Your article is a good one. I think we need to take global warming very seriously before it is too late. This is the world we are leaving to our children and our grandchildren.

It would not surprise me at all that the reason the United States is doing very little about global warming is because they are searching out ways to use it as a weapon. We are currently involved in experiments to use weather as a weapon, as are Russia, England, and China. All the suggestions you mentioned are steps in the right direction to solve global warming before we go the way of the dinosaurs.

Sad that so many people believe Global Warming is just hogwash. The US government is behind the times as compared to other countries that are actively promoting alternatives to our oil consuming country.
