And what was Gore Inc. thinking when it booked the size-15 carbon footprint of Madonna, whose lifestyle includes eight homes and a fleet of fancy cars? Hopefully, Live Earth backfired big-time on Gore, his elite co-religionists and the entire global-warming industrial complex. It reminded everyone that Gore is still goofy Ozone Al, not the sincere political science professor he played in "An Inconvenient Truth."

Live Earth also further exposed to the whole globe the hypocrisy and immorality of the environmentalists' war against fossil fuels, which effectively calls for a halt in the spread of modern civilization when two-thirds of the world’s humans are still living like it’s 1200.

Live Earth's tips for cutting carbon emissions or saving energy by planting more trees, using cloth diapers or hanging the wash on clotheslines instead of using the dryer must have been greatly appreciated by all the mothers in Africa who were cooking Saturday dinner over a dung fire and wondering if their village would ever get electricity.

If the world gets lucky, historians will someday look back and say that Live Earth was the beginning of the decline of both global warming fever and Gore's influence as the purveyor-in-chief of exaggerated climate catastrophes -- “Peak Al,” if you will.

Meanwhile, the Green Guru should drop his nutty quest to save the whole planet. Instead he should serve all of humanity by doing what probably he and only he can do -- run for president and save the country from eight years of President Hillary.
