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.

The mental midgets that can only see as far as the end of their noses
(including Blowhard Al Gore) will never GET IT! Mother Earth shall prevail.
Environmental Grandstanding is popular right now. Give it two years and these
radical dirtbrains will move on to something else, like "seeding clouds for
rain" is immoral and against the natural order of things. WHATEVER!!!!!!

So, it hasn't snowed in 25 years and that bufoon blames that on climate
change? Duh! 25 years IS not the lifespan of this planet. What in the world
is wrong with these people?
