GREEN AND UNSEEN
We don’t watch global warming TV shows, we don’t turn off our lights, we don’t read warmenist blogs, we don’t buy stupid hybrid cars, and we don’t watch climate change concerts:
The globe-spanning pop music extravaganza Live Earth fell flat for television viewers in the United States and Britain …
And if international audience numbers are anything to go by, Australian audiences may have also reached for the TV remote, although it’s difficult to say with Foxtel refusing to release its Live Earth audience numbers.
Must be because the numbers are so … huge. US viewers shunned Gorestock:
The main three hour American TV broadcast on NBC averaged a meagre 2.7 million viewers, ranking as the least-watched US program on Saturday night and falling below NBC’s summer prime-time Saturday average, Nielsen Media Research reported today.
That’s one way of reducing global carbon output: produce TV shows nobody wants to see.
