KT Tunstall live in Los Angeles

Journal Entry: Wed Jan 24, 2007, 10:51 AM


Welcome to the unofficial club for GLOBAL COOL.

Unless you live in a monastic retreat or are allergic to the news, you'll know that global warming is coming and it's not good. What is good is that you can now do something about it.

Global Cool believes that if we can reduce CO2 emissions by one tonne per person, per year, that's about one billion tonnes less CO2 in the atmosphere per year, and it delays global warming just enough to give us more time to find better energies, such as wind power, hydrogen power, bio-mass power and solar power.

CAN WE ALL MAKE THIS OUR NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION?

GLOBAL COOL PRESENTS KT TUNSTALL LIVE IN LOS ANGELES

Los Angeles is fast becoming a second home to KT Tunstall. Not only has the multi-million selling Scottish singer/songwriter been nominated for 'Best Female Pop Vocal Performance' at the city's forthcoming Grammy Awards but she's also just performed an exclusive live set at the Golden Globes 'Golden Green Party' on behalf of Global Cool.

This prestigious after-show event followed the 64th Annual Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles on Monday 15th January - and KT's full-band performance, in addition to an exclusive interview and green carpet coverage, is currently being webcast via www.global-cool.com for a strictly limited period. Simply sign in or sign up to www.global-cool.com for more information. Please see the link at the bottom of the page.

KT first became involved with Global Cool's 10-year campaign to encourage individuals to actively reduce their greenhouse gas emissions at last July's Fuji Rock Festival in Japan. Over the past year KT has blazed the trail in green touring by embracing innovative actions such as offsetting the CO2 emissions of her headline US tour and running her tour bus on environmentally-friendly biodiesel fuel.

We think her show was ace and we think you will too.

Enjoy...

*hyperlink and ~Jadeysports first heard about Global Cool at a Placebo gig; the 10th of December 2006, in Manchester. They were mostly quite impressed that Brian Molko featured in it.

I decided not to effectively copy out the news this time; the USA now has a very similar policy to the European Union one I told you about last time.

View the news article about President Bush's energy reforms here at the BBC News website.

EU energy policy

[No, just because the staff are English doesn't mean we're only concerned with Europe!]

It is time for a 'post-industrial revolution' according to the EU, which could see Europe slash greenhouse gases by 20% by 2020. The idea of a common energy policy was approved at a summit at Hampton Court, in London, in October 2005.

There are three central parts to the proposed EU energy policy.

a true internal energy market - the EU wants to strengthen and expand its own carbon trading scheme and proposes an increase of at least 50% in annual spending on energy research for the next seven years
accellerating the shift to low-carbon energy by adoption of fuel-efficient vehicles, better labelling on appliances, better building insulation and energy-efficient power generation and transmission
energy efficiency through the 20% target by 2020

By 2020...

20% of all EU energy that should come from renewable power - the Energy Commissioner said in September that by 2050 the EU would need to have sourced the majority of its energy from carbon-free sources
10% of vehicle fuel should come from biofuels - they are reccommended as the car fuel of the future
All new power stations should be carbon neutral
There should be a big increase in renewable power like wind and wave energy

Without these changes, the EU report predicts that EU energy imports will rise from 50% of consumption to 65% by 2030, requiring reliance on increasingly unpredictable sources.

These measures will have to be approved by European governments before it can come into force. EU leaders will debate the proposals at a summit in March.
