Pop music phenom Pharrell Williams has been lending his voice to star studded crusades against
First, the singer songwriter who originated the peppy hit "Happy" jetted to Davos, Switzerland to be with former Vice President (and Inconvenient Truth purveyor) Al Gore to announce a second round of Live Earth concerts in June which is intended to "harmonize humanity all at once."
While Pharrell Williams fondly remembers having a ball at the Rio de Janeiro concert in 2007, he lamented: “You would have pundits and comedians who didn’t understand global warming and we were often ridiculed. We wanted to do something very different this time.”

While Pharrell Williams fondly remembers having a ball at the Rio de Janeiro concert in 2007, he lamented: “You would have pundits and comedians who didn’t understand global warming and we were often ridiculed. We wanted to do something very different this time.”
Pharrell lent his celebrity status to the International Day of Happiness at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on March 20th.
His clarion call to convert from Climate Change to Climate Action rings hollow considering his hypocrisy. Pharrell sits alone on a private plane and globe trots in order to attend green dog and pony shows, yet the little people are supposed to sacrifice for climate change.
To celebrate Earth Day with a telling backdrop, President Barack Obama flew to the Everglades for an event (as Alligator Alley can be portrayed to be already effected by Climate Change). Per Mar Knoller, that day trip to Florida was an 1869 mile jaunt in which Air Force One 9,180 gallons of fuel alone. But that's OK, since the President's plane also ferried Bill Nye the Mechanical Engineer billing himself as a Science Guy for PBS Kids, in a "Call to Action"
That must have covered their carbon footprint, right?
If that's not enough policy pollution, consider the Global Citizen Earth Day Concert on the National Mall last weekend. Hoards of ecologically conscious citizens of the world flocked to see Mary Blige Usher and the Fall Out Boy. The organizers may have been proud that the concert was powered through solar power, they ought to be ashamed at how their people left the open space in the District of Calamity (sic).
