Unfortunately Ken, I have to agree. I would love to be able to say that Live Earth has begun the world on a path of fixing the global warming problems, but as a lot of skeptics have said "it was a concert", and that is all it was. I had exactly the same thoughts, they may have used bio fuel for the generators, but I am sure the audience didn't walk and the staging equipment wasn't dragged there on trolleys! And I would be very surprised if they all, or anyone, put their rubbish in bins. Maybe we have been on this planet for too long Ken. When the "concert" generation takes over the world, I hope I am pushing up daisies.

I can picture it now...."interest rates are set to soar", lets have a "Live Interest" concert, "we are running out of water" -> "Live water" and so on. My generation we not driven everywhere, we didn't get cars when we were in high school, or dare leave a light on when we went out of the room, we didn't have a computer and TV in our room, a new mobile phone every year, new clothes every other week etc. I think this generation (as a whole) will inherit the Earth they insisted their parents make for them (pollution and resource wise at least). I hope the less self centric teenagers take an interest in politics and do DO something rather than sing about it, so the human race may have a chance of surviving.
