Antarctica Cements Act for Gore’s Live Earth
June 13, 2:07 AM

Not warm enough

In an effort to fulfill his promise of a concert on every continent for his “Live Earth” event on July 7 to 8, Al Gore approached the British Antarctic Survey in February to explore the possibility of flying a band in to its

Rothera Research Station in Antarctica.

No, he was told, July is mid-winter in Antarctica, and no planes or boats can get in or out.

But all was not lost. BAS officials told Gore that a band was already in place on the South Pole. BAS press representative Linda Capper told blogger Tim Slagle, “We have a house band — five of our science team. They are very good indie rock-folk fusion. The remaining 17 will be the audience on location.”

They’ve never played in front of an audience. To make matters worse, the band, named after a Greenlandic word for “summit,” will be playing outside on the ice, where temperatures could be as low as minus ten degrees Celsius. One of their colleagues will film the performance for broadcast on TV and the Internet.

So let me get this straight...

Concert. To save the Earth. From global warming.

And just for the symbolism of having a band perform on each continent Al Gore was going to freaking FLY a band in?

Way to fight the good fight there, buddy boy. Oh good grief the irony is killing me.

And the reason that they can't fly a band in for a concert on global warming?

It's too cold.
