John Rego, the environmental director of Live Earth, says he expects to purchase at least 3,000 tonnes of carbon credits to off-set the event. It is believed the organisers will spend in excess of £1million on carbon offsetting to counter criticism.

Rego explains: "All the events are carbon neutral. We have chosen a reforestation and reagricultural project in Mozambique. It is a credible certifiable carbon-diffused project. We are in the process of purchasing a carbon offset."

That all seems pretty complicated. I think the United States government should provide these offsets (by bombing Iran's refineries and power stations).

I just wanted to say to all of you that I think your responses are great! Thank you for showing me that some people still have common sense, as well as a sense of humor (though Al Gore sure isn’t a very funny topic).
