Acts Fly 222,623 Miles By Jet To LIVE EARTH: Madonna Adopts Us All

MADONNA adopts us all:

Indeed, Madonna’s carbon footprint is dwarfed only by her ego - she has vowed that she will ’speak to the planet’ at Wembley. In fact, an apology might be in order - for the superstar’s energy consumption is only the tip of the iceberg in this epic vanity-fest.

The Live Earth event is, in the words of one commentator: “a massive, hypocritical fraud”.

For while the organisers’ commitment to save the planet is genuine, the very process of putting on such a vast event, with more than 150 performers jetting around the world to appear in concerts from Tokyo to Hamburg, is surely an exercise in hypocrisy on a grand scale.

Matt Bellamy, front man of the rock band Muse, has dubbed it ‘private jets for climate change’…

The most conservative assessment of the flights being taken by its superstars is that they are flying an extraordinary 222,623.63 miles between them to get to the various concerts - nearly nine times the circumference of the world.

But they do it for us…
