UB40 - LIVE EARTH JOHANNESBURG OFFICIALS BLAME CLIMATE CHANGE FOR POOR TURN-OUT
Officials at Live Earth Johannesburg have blamed the effects of climate change for poor audience attendance at Saturday's (07Jul07) South African event.
Organiser John Langford believes extremely cold weather in the region - it snowed last week (ends06Jul07) for the first time in a quarter of a century - kept people away from the concert, which starred Joss Stone, UB40, Angelique Kidjo and Baaba Maal.
Speaking before the event, Langford said, "We're expecting 10,000 here tonight. It's a bit chilly, and we've had a strange winter... is it climate change? We had snow in Jo'burg last week for the first time in 25 years."
But critics have blamed poor publicity for the weak turn-out.

All of you are quite right not to believe the high priest of global warming,
algore. As always, follow the money if you want to know what is behind
something. The only point I'd like to add, is about the 16/106 comment. The
actual level of Co2 in the atmosphere is not 16 ppm, but 380. If it where
actaully as low as 16, we'd all be long dead. Plants begin to suffer at 200
ppm, and die at 120, so it couldn't possibly be as low as reported by the
previous poster.
I don't mean to be argumentative here, but if we are going to pillory people
for getting their facts wrong, lets make sure we are not guilty of the same
thing.

Just to clarify, the reference made to 16/106 was not for total CO2, but rather
the parts per million contributed by humans as part of the total amount of CO2,
I believe.
Yes, it hasn't snowed in 25 years; then maybe 25 years before. I wonder why no
one in the so-called Main Stream Media had the intelligence to inquire about
what may have caused the snow in those earlier years?
Since Global Warming is only the latest phenomenon following our 1.3 year
period of Global Cooling in the 70's, it certainly couldn't be attributed to
Global Warming way back then, could it?
No better statement can be made about the Global Warming scam than: "Follow the
money." I can't wait for a Krakatoa redux to hear the excuses that arise.
Surely, it will be Bush's fault.
