You're supposed to listen, right? Well, in this case, what authority does a Kennedy have re the environment?

U.S. leg of Live Earth hits key notes - Newsday.com

However, Etheridge aside, it was nonmusicians at this concert who made the most passionate pleas about demanding action for the environment. "Get rid of all these rotten politicians that we have in Washington, who are nothing more than corporate toadies," said Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the environmentalist author, president of Waterkeeper Alliance and Robert F. Kennedy's son, who grew hoarse from shouting. "This is treason. And we need to start treating them as traitors."

You can't question global warming without being called a traitor? I realize hyperbolic rhetoric is about the only way they'll get attention - but seriously, when you're talking science you have to get a LOT of information and come up with theories to explain it. And so far, the 'Evil Man Causes Global Warming' theory just ain't holding much water.

And Live Earth... oddly enough, apparently all you had to do was listen for six minutes on-line to get credit for watching the whole concert.

I wonder how many people would be listed as watching if they'd required a whole half-hour?
