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.
OK, so snow is rare in Johannesburg. But shouldn't we all keep in mind that it is winter in the Southern Atmosphere. Isn't this akin to all the blather lately about the heat wave in Las Vegas. I mean record breaking heat in the desert. In southern Nevada. In July. Who'd a' thunk it.
*Remember, when ever I say Johannesburg imagine I'm talking just like that bad guy from Lethal Weapon II.
