Live Earth’s hot air, burn oil instead: Daltrey

Rock legend Roger Daltrey has blasted the forthcoming Live Earth event, saying burning more oil would do more to find solutions to climate change problems.

The Who’s singer questioned the value of the July 7 concerts and says a better idea would be to “burn all the oil” to force world leaders into action.

“The last thing the planet needs is a rock concert,” Daltrey told The Sun newspaper.
“We have problems with global warming but the questions and the answers are so huge I don’t know what a rock concert’s ever going to do to help.

“My answer would be to burn all the oil as quick as possible, then the politicians will have to find a solution.”

A Live Earth spokesman said: “People are aware of global warming but millions are not doing anything about changing their lifestyles.”
