It looks like Live Earth concert received dead ratings. The main three-hour American TV broadcast on NBC averaged an abysmal 2.7 million viewers, ranking as the least-watched US program on Saturday night, and falling below NBC's summer prime-time Saturday average, Nielsen Media Research reported on Monday. Even the rival ABC's rerun of the animated Monsters Inc had a bigger audience — 3.3 million. It was the same story in Britain, where BBC1's coverage of the Live Earth climax at London's Wembley Stadium, leading up to Madonna's eagerly awaited finale, averaged 3.1 million viewers, compared with 11.4 million for the Princess Diana tribute.Even more unsettling was the amount of energy expended to put on the concert. It was estimated that with all the private jets, the countless buses, the stadium lights, the power used for instruments and the garbage created did more harm to the Earth than the concert did for global warming awareness. Once again, Al Gore and his air headed celebrities missed the mark. If all those morons would have stayed home and saved all that energy needed to power stadium lights and the sound systems of all the concerts held, they would have made a real contribution to combating global warming.
In addition to bad performances, audiences were treated to foul language and lyrics filled with expletives. Wasn’t it Al and Tipper who grilled musicians on their song lyrics forcing artists to put parental-warning labels on cd’s? But Al had no problem sharing the spotlight with foul-mouthed artists like Madonna, Chris Rock and Kayne West who’s dialogues and songs containing derogatory sexual and racial rants in exchange for promoting his inconvenient truth. The only inconvenient truth is that Al Gore and his clueless Hollywood friends are hypocrites.
God Bless America

Al Gore has global warming happening in his brain. You would think after he inveted the internet he could solve global warming. I don't remember Slick Willy or Dumb Al doing anything during their 8 year tenure to prevent global warming. Maybe Al should take up the cause of placing more sand in the desert.
I bet you Al Gore son was at the concert smoking a blunt with 2 Live Crew
From what i read the performances were horrible and filled with profanity....these people should make a difference by shutting up and keeping the carbon monoxide levels low
I wish I could sit on Al's green thumb the way I sit and squirm on Bob's
Let's send Al to iraq so he can bore the insurgents to death
These stupid concerts put on my these self-righteous, self aggrandizing and self-important mental midgets do nothing for the causes they champion.
Farm Aid- farmers are still suffering
Live Aid - kids still starving in Africa
Comic Relief- still a big homeless problem
AIDs Aid - still no cure
Live Earth - we'll be wearing thongs in december here in NY...thanks to Al and all his celebrity friends
Everytime Bill Clinton farts the Earth temperature rises by 2 degrees...how about plugs that hole with his thumb
Hey Al, you should spend less time worrying about global warming and spend more time worring about your son frying his brain
Hey Al,
You were right about the Iraq War.
You were right about the national disater that is Bush Administration.
You were right about the dismantaling of civil liberties (spying on Americans, detainment without trial or representation, torture at Gitmo).
But I guess you're dead wrong on global warming, even though over 90% of the scientific community agrees with you?
I guess the Patriots are right on this one. Wrong!
Sorry guys, you're right to hold the JPCAs feet to the fire, but you're dead wrong about Gore.
The 7 year nightmare that has ruined our country is about to end. You know it in your hearts if you're true patriots.
The thing that amazes me is how the wealthy elite who enjoyed record tax breaks during this administration and record high defense contracts have convinced average middle class Republicans to vote against their self interests. At least there's no gay marriage, right patriots?
It's wonderful that the Patriot appreciates the beauty and majesty of Alaska because -due to GLOBAL WARMING- it won't last much longer.
If anything, Global Warming is far more serious than even A.Gore has said.
Just read this week's scientific report on the potential loss to NYS farmers within 10 years due to climate change.
Add to that the polluting effects of air conditioning and the power plants needed to supply the electricity.
That is why congestion pricing should be tried. Better yet- put tolls on all East River Bridges, reduce street parking and make drivers use parking garages.
