WILL Al Gore's Live Earth concerts, seen by an estimated two billion people around the world yesterday, make any difference to action against global warming? Predictably they were criticised by Bob Geldof and others; one comment was, Having the richest people in the world saying, Hey! We need to cut back a bit, is absurd. However to think of these concerts as a one-shot effort is also absurd. They are the start of a three-year campaign to involve young people in the push to contain and reduce the carbon emissions that lead to global warming.
