JOSH HARTNETT IS GONNA GET RESULTS

A worldwide movement backed by big name celebrities like Leonardo Di Caprio, Orlando Bloom, Pink, The Killers and Josh Hartnett kicked off in London yesterday with the stated goal of beating global warming.  Global Cool launched in London and LA and is calling on one billion people to reduce their carbon emissions by one ton a year for the next 10 years.  Global Cool claims the climatic tipping point - when the climate becomes irreversibly damaged - can be turned back if global CO2 emissions are reduced by one billion tons a year.  Some tips to get started:

Don’t drive: “Walk, go by horse, run, rollerskate, take a coach, bus or train.”
Don’t bathe:  they recommend showers, “If you really must take a bath, save energy and share it with a really dirty friend.”
Don’t fly: “Hey hotshot, do you really need to fly to that meeting?”

Oddly enough, Josh Hartnett was at the London press conference.  I can only assume he tunneled there.  Josh says:

“If water levels continue to rise at this rate, my house in New York will be underwater, and I’ll have to get a gondola to get around. It’s frightening … I grew up in Minnesota which is usually a cold place, but we’ve seen abnormally warm winters the last couple of years, which is unnerving.

And if the earth was 50 years old, that might mean something.  All it really does is demand this quote from Matt Stone: "Actors and actresses are the worst, because they're just fucking monkeys. Half the people in this country could do what they do but for some reason they think their opinion matters."  Granted, rolling around in the mud and living in some third world nightmare where alien like diseases are the number one export and "ham" on a menu is simply a space saving way to write "hamster" does sound pretty great, but I’m gonna have to think about it.  Do some reading.  And maybe Josh could do some reading as well.  Maybe on video conferencing, for example.

Если вкратце и по-русски:

Global Cool официально открыл 10-тилетнюю программу против глобального потепления этим утром в Британском Музее, в Лондоне. Обладательница мульти-платинового диска, певица и автор песен KT Tunstall и Голливудская звезда Джош Хартнетт присоединились к команде Global Cool и их длительной стратегической программе.

Дальше эта KT Tunstall долго рассказывает, как она пришла к тому, что надо спасать мир, и что вообще каждый год люди выбрасывают в воздух 15 тонн СО2 ну и все такое прочее....

Эта самая KT, которая продала более 3,6 млн записей (ни разу даже имени ее не слышала  ) уже давно проводит разные-всякие кампании, в частности, призывает к использованию транспортных средств без бензина, к печати документов только на второсортной бумаге и т.д.

Josh Hartnett горячо поддержал эту самую KT и сказал, что впервые купил машину гибрид в 1999: “Я жил в Минессоте, которая является одним из самых холодных штатов, а я водил Prius и ловил на себе забавные взгляды. Теперь каждый себе хочет такой, но не может найти (что же это за чудо машина такая? ггг)". Затем он чистосердечно добавил “Я просто пытаюсь сделать все, что могу, и если все будут делать так же - это здорово!” (как загнул, а?! какая величина мысли!)

Celebrities promote Global Cool campaign

Josh Hartnett and Orlando Bloom want to teach the world how to be "Cool." The actors are part of Global Cool, the latest in a growing number of organizations dedicated to reducing the pollutants that people put into the atmosphere each day. Celebrity-powered Global Cool aims to cut carbon emissions by 10 billion tons over the next decade.

More than 25 billion tons of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, are pumped into the air every year, according to a December 2006 report by Trexler Climate and Energy Services, a climate-change consultant group that was recently acquired by EcoSecurities. Most world leaders and scientists agree that greenhouse gases are causing a rapid global-warming trend. The polar icecaps are melting, rivers are drying up and violent and unpredictable weather is becoming more common.

This trend, say people at Global Cool, can be reversed. "We want to make sure our campaign has a material impact," says Fanny Calder, campaign director for the group that launched in late January. "We will need governments and businesses to step in, but our mission is to convince and excite people to understand they can make a difference."

Stars such as Hartnett, Bloom and KT Tunstall ask visitors to the group's Web site to use an online "carbon calculator" to determine exactly how much carbon dioxide they emit each year, based on where they live, how often they travel and how much fuel they use to heat their home. Individuals who sign a pledge promising to reduce their carbon emissions can then get video tips from Global Cool celebrities, such as unplugging chargers after use, buying energy-efficient light bulbs and taking public transportation instead of driving.

Calder hopes the star power will make the group more effective. "We don't want people to just pledge to do something," Calder says. "We want to make the message fun and exciting to motivate them to do the things they promised to."

Because there are some emissions that cannot be easily eliminated -- most Americans need electricity and not everyone can walk to work -- Global Cool also asks members to buy a "Ton of Cool" for approximately $38. The donations support organizations developing carbon-friendly technology and fund nonprofit and research groups looking to influence government policy. But the largest chunk of the donations is used to limit carbon emissions by buying carbon credits from renewable energy projects such as wind farms.

кажется, я где-то уже вешала подобное, он уже давно вещал про глобальное потепление и меры борьбы с ним. а мобильники там тожа как-то влияют....
