The concert no warmist would applaud (Bono Total Hypocrite...Six 747 Jets, 55 Trucks)

Bono in Tokyo in 2008:

My prayer is that we become better in looking after our planet.

And the Keen for Green group applauds:

If your (sic) looking for an environmental role model, Irish rockstar, Bono (born Paul David Hewson, May 10, 1960), of the band U2 is a good place to start. Bono ... participated in a tree planting ceremony in Tokyo Bay, Japan, in 2008, where efforts are being taken to turn a landfill into an 88 hectare forest. Bono has also been active in the Greenpeace community since 1993 when his entire band participated in a protest against a nuclear power plant, Sellafield, in England. And of course, Bono is self-reported avid recycler and drives a car which runs on ethanol instead of gasoline.

Bono in Melbourne in 2010:

U2’S 360 Degrees tour, the most expensive rock spectacle ever, is here. The tour, with a daily running cost of $850,000, arrived on six 747 jets…

“You compare a tour by the number of trucks they use,” production manager Jake Berry said. “The Rolling Stones ran 46 trucks. We are running 55. This is the biggest.”

It’s all about feeling good about yourself for “caring”.
It’s no “deeper” than that.

That picture should come with the warning: Boner and Goner.

And Bono hides his taxes from the Irish taxman through off-shore accounts...

I saw this ad for Louis Vuitton in a magazine this past weekend, made me want to puke.

"The ad shows the pair leaving a plane with a South African landscape as a backdrop and carries the tagline "Every journey began in Africa." They donated their fees to TechnoServe, Conservation Cotton Initiative and Chernobyl Children's Project International.
