| Nope not much of a greeny but I think what gets my goat is the way Bono harps on about what we all should be doing yet he should ask himself how much 'their' show is polluting the planet and the millions it costs to put on (which then loses money) could go to the starving
Sorry I am unlikely to succeed in an argument or discussion on this but everything Bono just irritates me - I might think differently after September the 11th  | |

To be fair Bono has never 'harped' about global warming - he tends to stay focussed on fighting disease and alleviating poverty in Africa rather than environmental issues. And the band do put their money where the mouth - one example being that for every RED zone ticket being sold for CHF 380, CHF 295 goes to buy drugs to fight AIDs and malaria in Africa.
To ease anyone's moral dilemma there is a carbon offset strategy in place for the tour - see

And finally, I hope you will enjoy the show very much, we saw it last year and it was not overly heavy on politics but was an excellent show, great sound system and a good party atmosphere. My wife, who would never listen to a U2 CD before, is now a big fan of their live performances.
