Looking to do Live 8 one better, Al Gore unveiled today a historic campaign to raise awareness about the threat of climate change by staging a full day of massive concerts around the world modeled after 2005's successful planetary musical gathering on behalf of Africa's poor.
Dubbed Live Earth, the 24-hour event will be held on July 7, or 07/07/07, in seven cities on seven continents--Shanghai, China; Sydney, Australia; Johannesburg, South Africa; London, and cities to be determined in Brazil; Japan and the United States.
The concerts will feature over 100 musical acts who are donating their time to educate an estimated 2 billion people on the vital environmental issues which Gore addresses in his Oscar-nominated documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth."
Among the acts confirmed so far: Jon Bon Jovi, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Snoop Dogg, the Black Eyed Peas, Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge, John Mayer and Pharrell Williams.

Go to her window now, and you'll see Melissa Etheridge caring for two babies.
The Yes I Am singer and her partner, Popular actress Tammy Lynn Michaels, announced Friday that they are the proud parents of twins, son Miller Steven and daughter Johnnie Rose, born Oct. 17 and in excellent health.
"The creation of life brings about immeasurable love and pours hope into the future," the couple said in a statement. "The joy will help carry us through our upcoming sleepless nights."
They divulged in April that Michaels was pregnant by way of an anonymous sperm donor. Etheridge also said at the time that while this is their first time conceiving together, it is not their first time parenting, as Michaels has been an active presence for the past five years in the lives of Etheridge's two kids with ex-partner Julie Cypher.
Cypher, who was with Etheridge for 12 years, gave birth to the pair's daughter Bailey Jean, 9, and son Beckett, 7, through artificial insemination that was reported to be anonymous but was soon revealed to be from rocker David Crosby.
Michaels, 31, and Etheridge, 45, swapped vows during a star-studded ceremony in 2003, the first marriage (or domestic partnership, according to California law) for both.
A year later, Etheridge was diagnosed with breast cancer. The Grammy winner got by with a little help from her friends (and a little medicinal marijuana), and after a lumpectomy and an intense regimen of chemo and radiation therapy, she was able to give the all-clear sign last summer. A longtime gay rights activist, Etheridge added fighting cancer to her list of causes, penning the song "I Run for Life" to offer support to others battling the disease.
Now (and luckily), if Etheridge is suffering from exhaustion it should only be because of the two bundles of joy not sleeping through the night in the next room.
The mother of four, who recently composed the title song for Al Gore's global warming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, has also signed on to be the focus of a Q&A session in November at the Hollywood Reporter/Billboard Film & TV Music Conference.
Michaels, best known for her lead role on the WB teen-fest Popular has since had a multi-episode stint on The L-Word and starred in the short-lived NBC series Committed.
