I certainly concur on this - there was a calculation in the guardian that showed that the carbon footprint of just the new jersey and london gigs (including people travelling to be there) was the equivalent of over 7000 people flying to america and back - now thats one lot of CO2
there was also a great quote frrom alex turner (from the arctic monkeys) "
why should politicians care what we think just because we're in a band... especially when we use enough electricity to power ten houses for a week just for the stage lighting"
it may have been great musically but I severely doubt that it will make an iota of difference to the pollitical actions - or inactions on global warming or that it will influence even enough peoples behaviour to even to offset its own carbon footprint. About the only saving grace is the money raised for environmental charities - assuming this gets to where it is needed rather than being wasted on pointless admin.
