Alive Earth: Virtual Global Warming Concert
I logged into YouTube a minute ago and had an interesting message waiting for me. Apparently a group in England is holding a sort of virtual concert to go along with Al Gore's Live Earth concert. They held some sort of competition and voting to see what videos and songs they were going to put in their 10 video line up and they picked my "What if you knew?" video that I made for David Rovics a couple months ago. I had no idea that it had been entered in anything, certainly not by me.
I haven't watched all of the other videos yet, but I think mine holds its own pretty good. Especially for not having any actual video footage in it. The song itself isn't really just about global warming, it's about all of the issues going and how people aren't aware or aren't touched by the problems.
I'm also surprised they decided to call it "Climate Change" rather than global warming. "Climate change" is one of those neo-conservative buzz words to distract people, as if it could be getting colder or maybe our climate is simply changing for the better. Heck, wouldn't it be cool to have summer instead of winter? The only problem is, what does summer become?
