Global Warming Blamed For Low Attendance at Live Earth's Johannesburg Concert

Honestly, folks, I had to read this one five times to believe my eyes, and strongly suggest that you remove all potables, flammables, and sharp objects from your proximity before proceeding any further.

Everybody ready?

Well, it turns out that one of the Live Earth concerts to draw attention to the planet’s imminent doom at the hands of the left’s most recent bogeyman global warming had very poor attendance due to – wait for it! – cold weather.

How great is that?

Yet that’s not the funniest part, as reported by Contactmusic.com Sunday (hysterical emphasis added):

Officials at Live Earth Johannesburg have blamed the effects of climate change for poor audience attendance at Saturday's (07Jul07) South African event. Organiser John Langford believes extremely cold weather in the region - it snowed last week (ends06Jul07) for the first time in a quarter of a century - kept people away from the concert, which starred Joss Stone, UB40, Angelique Kidjo and Baaba Maal.

Imagine that. Global warming destroyed a concert to promote global warming awareness by – it really is too amazing to believe – making it snow for the first time in this part of the world in more than 25 years.

And, it snowed because the planet’s getting warmer! Is everybody following this?

While you ponder the astounding level of ignorance on display, the article continued:

Speaking before the event, Langford said, "We're expecting 10,000 here tonight. It's a bit chilly, and we've had a strange winter... is it climate change? We had snow in Jo'burg last week for the first time in 25 years."

What’s even more amazing is the number of concertgoers, promoters, and global warming alarmists that actually believe global warming is responsible for colder weather and abnormal snowstorms in regions that rarely see the white fluffy stuff.

Maybe even worse is the number of media representatives that are not only buying the insanity, but also promoting it on a daily basis.

When's it going to stop?
