Former Vice-President Al Gore, the subject of the Academy Award winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth, continues his campaign to bring attention to global climate change with a concert event on July 7, 2007 (or 7/7/07.)
Live Earth: The Concerts for a Climate in Crisis is being produced by SOS: Save Our Selves, an international organization founded by Live 8 producer Kevin Wall (CEO of Control Room, a supplier of live digital entertainment that will be producing the concert) and the former Vice-President (both seen above with Pharrell.)
