Rio’s Live Earth concert back on.
Earlier today, Brazilian authorities “obtained a court injunction suspending the Live Earth show in Rio de Janeiro on concerns about security.” But Brazilian judge Denise Tarin has “revoked her own injunction,” meaning that the only free concert in the Live Earth series is back on.

July 6th, 2007 at 4:56 amAnd any carbon credits that are purchased to offset the pollution generated by the event will go to line al gores pocket. Another corporatist making money off a dying planet and the fears of the little people.
July 6th, 2007 at 7:41 amWhy is it that anything remotely tied to Al Gore brings out every crazy on the interwebs?
July 6th, 2007 at 8:28 amLitl’ Al et al,
July 6th, 2007 at 10:12 amA good meeting place is Real Chopp, av Barata Ribeiro & rua Paula Freitas. Off the beach but close enough. Good cold beer.
Abraços
As part of the Live Earth Pledge Al Gore just asked people to “join with others in preserving and protecting forests.”
Forests really do store a lot of carbon in both the plants and the soil, but logging unfortunately releases massive amounts of carbon. There are alternatives that could really help, such as thinning instead of clearcutting, and allowing tree farms to grow for longer periods before they are harvested. It should be obvious that we need to protect all of the last remaining old-growth forests which are like giant carbon reservoirs.
If you are interested in this topic here is a link to a good report on the topic: http://tinyurl.com/2epzrk
We really need to respect all of life on our planet because “Life” is the “carbon pump” that will ultimately bring atmospheric carbon levels down so that future generations can continue to enjoy a livable climate.
