Al Gore is on a roll. The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bon Jovi and Snoop Dog are among the artists already linked to the "Live Earth" concerts Gore and friends are putting on to bring awareness to the climate change crisis. Rumors of such an event have been circulating on the web and Gore announced an already impressive lineup that is bound to grow.

In addition the acts above, promoters announced that they've also enlisted the Foo Fighters, Paolo Nutini, Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge, John Mayer, Corrine Bailey Rae, Duran Duran, Snow Patrol, Fall Out Boy, Mana, Keane, Kelly Clarkson, Korn, Ray LaMontagne and many more. I have no doubt other big names will join the roster as we near the July 7th planned date.

The concerts will take place in Sydney, Australia; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Shanghai, China; London, England; Kyoto, Japan; Johannesburg, South Africa; and a U.S. city to be named later. Philadelphia, which did a great job hosting Live 8, will likely be on the consideration list, particularly with Gore's close relationship with PA Governor Ed Rendell.
