If you haven’t heard, today (07/07/07) was chosen by Algore and others to have an SOS Live Earth concert thing. From the website (no, I’m not linking to it):
Live Earth is a 24-hour, 7-continent concert series taking place on 7/7/07 that will bring together more than 100 music artists and 2 billion people to trigger a global movement to solve the climate crisis.
Reading more on their site, you find out that the concerts are happening in “…Giants Stadium in New York; Wembley Stadium in London; Aussie Stadium in Sydney; Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro; the Coca-Cola Dome in Johannesburg; Makuhari Messe in Tokyo; the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai; and HSH Nordbank Arena in Hamburg.”
The last time I checked, that is only 6 continents represented…not 7. Let’s see if I have that right:
- New York = North America
- London = Europe
- Sydney = Australia
- Rio de Janeiro = South America
- Johannesburg = Africa
- Tokyo = Asia
- Shanghai = Asia
- Hamburg = Europe
The continents are:
- North America (check)
- Europe (check)
- Australia (check)
- South America (check)
- Africa (check)
- Asia (check)
- Antarctica (nope)
I think they are misrepresenting their movement. It doesn’t include 7 continents…only 6 are represented.
