Info: LAS VEGAS, Nov. 18 2005 A parade of comedians and a few serious actors joined forces at Caesar's Palace for two and a half hours of environmental consciousness-raising in a live show called "Earth to America," focused on global warming.Climate change never had so many famous friends, and whether they were dancing (Jason Alexander), cavorting inside a giant earth (Jeffrey Tambor), strumming a banjo (Steve Martin) or simply doing stand-up (Larry David, Ben Stiller, Cedric the Entertainer and others), the presentation posed two questions critical to the future of the country: One, should average citizens do more to harness activities that leading scientists say contribute to climate change? And, two, do comedy and global warming really mix? The answers appeared to be: yes and for the most part. |
