Rocker Quits Band to Stop Global Warming
- Posted on Apr 16th 2008 5:00PM by David Sprague
We've heard a lot of good excuses for taking a day off work -- not that we're going to share them in a public forum, mind you -- but as far as taking off every single day in perpetuity, we have to hand it to Ira Trevisian, the now-former bassist for Brazilian electro-rockers CSS. In announcing his departure from the band, he didn't fall back on the classic "musical differences," but instead blamed global warming. Trevisian issued a statement saying that he was planning to help combat climate change by opting to fly less -- thus taking him out of the jet-set world of touring musicians. While the bassist's carbon footprint might be impacting mother earth a little less, he is, in fact, being replaced by another musician -- who'll be emitting all sorts of gases while on the road with the band. Maybe Kraftwerk had the right idea some years back when they suggested all musicians be replaced by holograms.

IF President Bush had unveiled his goals for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions at the beginning of his administration instead of in its waning months, he might have actually played a role in linking the United States to global efforts to curb climate change. But the proposals he made yesterday, which in 2001 could have been a starting point for negotiations with advocates of stronger action in Congress, are now too belated and too weak to be more than a historical footnote. All three remaining presidential candidates are committed to much more stringent, mandatory reductions in carbon dioxide.
