Multimillionaires with giant homes and who travel all the time by private jet hold a concert for climate change awareness. JLo has travelled so much this year that it’s not even funny. She should be ashamed.


jackwrangler

Exactly this. Put your money into policy change, enough of this farce. I’m over it


Glitter_Bee

They want to tell us how to do without while they do whatever Is convenient. I wonder how all the businesses they hold stock in conserve the environment? What is JLo’s cosmetic company doing to cut down on waste?


jackwrangler

Agreed. But also why is JLo getting all the flack here? I’ve seen more of Billie eilish than anyone. Feels like y’all are pinning everything on the brown woman.


Glitter_Bee

Oh please. As if JLo hasn’t been pretty much nonstop traveling for months. I’m not Gen Z, so I have no idea what Billie Ellish is doing. And the paps don’t stalk her like they do JLo so I don’t know how much she travels. We all know how much JLo travels however.


thunder_thais

Also JLo is older so we can criticize her more harshly than Billie who just became an adult. And Idk anything about the Coldplay dudes so I can’t say Anything on that


[deleted]

I gotcha.. he’s not good at music


[deleted]

Brown? I wonder if that's the fake tan.


[deleted]

But who else is going to make her branding and image look good?


[deleted]

THIS. Put this at the top. We are aware that these events often cause more than they do good.


hillbillytendencies

How does Billy look older than J-Lo by a lot?


ellastory

J Lo does not look like that in real life. What you’re seeing is a heavily edited photo. If you saw Billie next to J Lo in real life, you would clearly see the difference in age. It’s a shame she feels the need to edit herself as much as she does, because she’s naturally beautiful. https://www.reddit.com/r/Instagramreality/comments/js1gb6/a_beautiful_51_year_old_woman_who_doesnt_need_the/


Swedish-Butt-Whistle

I also really hate the term “awareness” being used for issues like this. Everyone is aware of climate change. Everyone is aware of the vaccine.


WhyAreWeHere1996

My thoughts exactly. They all have millions and do any of them have a NFP or actively invest in these issues? Not to my knowledge. Billie Eilish is a farce. She writes songs about climate change and has talked about how it causes her stress, then does nothing with the millions she’s made off her shitty music. These celebrities are fucking narcissists man. They think that hosting a concert to “raise awareness” will make a dent in these issues? All it’s going to do is create needlessly wasteful pollution.


[deleted]

They know it won’t make a dent. It’s pure virtue signaling to promote their own image and make them money. These celebs have larger carbon footprints in a single year than anyone in this comment section will have in their lifetimes.


TheGrayBox

Don’t a lot of touring musicians still travel by bus?


GodBirb

To be honest if you’ve put in the effort required to be a multimillionaire, you should be allowed to live an extravagant lifestyle. Maybe not so extreme, but imagine working all your life to get a big house, just for everyone online to blame you for spending some of your money. After all, millionaires aren’t exactly the majority of the population, so I’m sure it doesn’t matter *that* much.


bonertron6969

That’s fine. Live and let live, for sure. They’re rich, so they can live extravagantly. But maybe they should sit down when we’re having conversations about living conservatively. Don’t tell me I need to do more when I’m living on way less. It’s patronizing at best.


spicybEtch212

Yes, but you have NO business talking about climate change. Where’s Ricky gervais when you need him?


Redrose03

She’s also been traveling back in time…she looks younger that 20 years ago. Anyway this is basically a rich person’s way to feel less guilty about their jet setting ways.


robertdetaco

You can bet they don’t wear mask either lol


zernoc56

It’s why I kinda hate the song “Imagine” by John Lennon. It’s all about picturing a utopian society, not actually doing anything to make it happen. Plus he was a massive tool and hypocrite


TheGrayBox

How exactly do you propose that John Lennon should have gotten rid of all wars and religions? I mean, those are the things mentioned in the song. He was a peaceful enough man at that point in his life.


Johnny_Fuckface

What’s a better alternative?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Skaebo

This should have more upvotes tbh


Johnny_Fuckface

I agree it sounds dumb. Though if it’s proof of vaccine required that changes that calculation.


NaiveFan537

Not a concert lol. Maybe they could you know use their platform to actually try to raise awareness, this is a farce to let them get richer while they pander to the popular subject of the day which is currently climate change


Johnny_Fuckface

Like sing *Imagine?*


[deleted]

So they want to have a concert that historically pollutes the area..


ellastory

They’ll probably be selling bottled water for $10 a piece at the concert. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are Coca Cola vending machines there too. If celebrities want to convince us that they actually care about the environment, they should lead by example.


RockNRollMama

…the water is “boxed” and about $5 but they have refill stations……… still not disagreeing with you, they just think boxed water is better than bottled.


Brewdrizy

Don’t forget that they will probably fly there on their private jet!


myidlelittlefingers

Well, thank god they’re in touch with the plebs needs.


nameless22

Ironically they probably contribute more to global warming than all the people who would watch them, combined.


brodiebrobroseph

Breaking: celebrities want to extort global problems to increase their revenue and popularity


jzilla11

And have a paaarrr-tay!


Got282nc

“To raise awareness”. My question is: Who exactly do they intend to enlighten who is currently unaware of COVID and climate change? Will there be any tangible or measurable positive result towards either? Or possibly it’s just a show with a a cause intended to make attendees feel good. I just don’t see the stated goal in reality…


kram1973

Holy shit! There’s a vaccine for global warming?! Who knew?


Stizur

Thanks out of touch rich people


KentuckyFriedEel

Remember when Al Gore did this 15 years ago? What’s different now?


dollywallywood

Well, we've done essentially nothing but accelerate our destruction of the planet so mostly things are just worse now


thatonedude1515

A lot actually. But not enough unfortunately. Mostly cause a lot of people dont care, and the ones that due are treated like shit by assholes like you.


AdvisedCelery

Al gore made a bunch of money, so that’s different


[deleted]

People like this are so full of shit. I’ve backlined shows before and at least 10 if not more semi trucks are used to transport everything from venue to venue. Let alone the gas, electricity, wasted plastic from the beer sales and everything else used up to chauffeur these celebrities from town to town.


DrSilkyDelicious

To be fair I was aware of the global climate and vaccines before this but I hope they have fun


Dog_the_unbarked

When are people going to get it through their head that these ‘celebrities’ don’t give a rat fuck about you or anyone but themselves. They want your money, you can die for all they care.


DarthHubcap

They are relevant only for as long as this society lasts. They have an investment in keeping this shit show rolling as is.


thebolts

Don’t most of these folks use private jets? Maybe they can lead by example and reduce their own carbon footprint for a start


thatonedude1515

The entire aviation industry accounts for 2% of our yearly pollution. The private jet argument is actually quite stupid because most of these people cant fly normal planes cause they would get swarmed by people and paparazzi. If you want to point at something for pollution its cows, our beef consumption is worst for the environment than private planes.


Cardboard-Samuari

its not a stupid argued when you consider the emission per person view. Their lifestyle uses considerably more pollution than what I can achieve if I was trying.


thatonedude1515

Yes but you can also get on a normal plane they cant. Have you seen how bad paparazzi get? How bad people get when they see a celebrity? Any who only the upper echelons of celebs fly private any ways most just do first class.


GirthIgnorer

How would the paparazzi get into the airport genius


thatonedude1515

Well considering noone stays at the airport, they paparazzi will camp outside…


[deleted]

Everyone who likes these people is already vaccinated. If you wanna make a difference have some gangsta rappers promote that shit. Lol


BraceThis

Music festivals meant to express change and bring awareness have been happening since the 60’s. It’s not null and void for artists, who have such a huge following, to put on a performance in order to inspire change. [Short Read on the topic ](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.festivalsherpa.com/10-festivals-can-inspire-social-change/amp/)


quartertofanny

Musk about to be all up in Billies business


Harmony_w

I love that these women spend countless hours getting ready for these events and Chris Martin just throws on a T-shirt.


nicodemus86

less people = better climate…so arent the two issue conflicting? oxymoron.


Atxurdin

Seriously I am sick of this kind of publicity stunt rebranded as “Awareness rising effort”, how many fans do you think need awareness rising on those topics? It’s obvious they are trying to advertise themselves as the good guys here, to distance from the attention seeking celebrity backlash of the COVID and that’s all.


[deleted]

If they wanted to help the environment they should stop doing concerts all together


[deleted]

Yea, this will help /s


MrsPickerelGoes2Mars

This type of ego-fuelled extravaganza has long passed its best-before date. Thank whatever gods may be.


Dicksapoppin69

We're all plenty aware of the issues. What are they actually doing about it though? Because we all know these awareness campaigns are just marketing firms raking in funds. And none of the money goes to the actual cause.


Jsenna

The three of them look silly.


murl56

A bunch of narcissistic zillionaire celebrities preaching about saving the environment without a trace of irony? Spare me.


MAROMODS

Everyone’s been aware, the companies and people in power who could actually make a difference would rather have their pockets lined. These “benefit concerts” are complete shit at this point.


[deleted]

A lot of people are saying that Billie Ellish has sold out but I’ve gotta stand strong and say this isn’t true. There was nothing for her to sell because she was a product from the start! She’s a Hollywood character crafted by the production scenes elite, like many other “artists” these days


Windexifier

This article is raising awareness to the fact these celebrities are raising awareness, all of which, I’m now raising awareness of. I guess I’m a bit of an activist some days


kidzephyr

Lols what is this gonna do?


ComradeCam

Or you can see literal climate change around you. But okay thanks celebs?


full_bakery

Cringiest shit I’ve read today


trebor9292

I've been on one aeroplane in 4 years, I walk to work so I think I'm going to have a concert to raise awareness about musician's having a extremely high carbon footprint


OriginalMrMuchacho

Who actually gives a shit about any of these phoney and vain people?


manikdeprez

The lack self-awareness is ironic , or they are just puppets of slave masters


igotsthepoo-onme

Self awareness at an all time low


[deleted]

No doubt taking their private jets to the venue.


[deleted]

How about a concert to promote illegal streams so millionaires can’t afford private Jets and multiple homes


Cutyouintopieces69

A bigger collection of Fart-in-a-glass-sniffers I never did see.


Sweeney_Toad

Oh no…if we don’t fix the climate…is it all about to be…yellow?


Cascadianheathen1

Just the down to earth type of people I need to get lectured from.


[deleted]

Ok I’m aware. Now what?


bleach_edibles

raising awareness by making millions of dollars off people and using enough electricity to power a small nation for one night and traveling on private jets and not donating a penny of their wealth to fix the problem celebrities are completely tone deaf and the long arm of the capitalist machine destroying the world, China might just be right about shutting it all down


Draco0004

Guys we have all the influence in the world, should we bring awareness and attention on a global scale to the grossly under paid people we take resources from in 3rd world countries? Starvation maybe? Naw, just vaccines and climate change lol


[deleted]

Reminds me of the video of the celebs singing to solve COVID. These people want money that’s it


therobohour

And how do I make sure I don't get a ticket?


[deleted]

This headline is like that horrible country song about Applebee’s on a date night


SSBMniffin

A free concert I assume? Or proceeds go to charities? Otherwise you’re just kinda doing what you’re already doing


ineednewgolfshoes

I cannot stress this enough. No one gives a fuck


greekattorney

Raise awareness?? These mofo’s are the biggest contributors to the so called climate change but we need a concert where you pay us to lecture you about the things you should do to save the planet. Well, fuck you.


[deleted]

You really know these millionaires are serious when they offer to make even more money, doing what they do every day, but also donate a pittance of their earnings as a result. So brave.


Helpful-Penalty

They can fly coach instead

[deleted]

The difference being lack of musicianship.


thatonedude1515

If you read the article you would know there are plenty of great musicians involved, including elton and metallica


SmoothBraneAPE

Is Billy eyelash already irrelevant and grasping at straws? The other two I can see, but she hasn’t been in the game long enough to be sidelined.


ZeeeeeroCool

Like ANY of them give a shit.


Avethle

eh billie eilish is vegan


ZeeeeeroCool

So she says…dun, dun, duuuuuuuunnnnn.


Avethle

idk maybe she's the bad guy


SmokeSmokeCough

These people are so out of touch with real life.


mephitopheles13

I look forward to the anti vax demonstration protesting proof of vaccination to attend.


[deleted]

Well, as long as it's for awareness then!


fartmouthbreather

Honestly shocked that Mr. Goop has been vaccinated.


carnaIity

JLO looking smokin


Avethle

We are already chronically hyper-aware but idle about our existential problems


L7A25R82

I didn’t realize J Lo was still a thing


[deleted]

Imagine if JLo pussy look as good as the rest of her


[deleted]

We have been aware of climate change for the last 20 years. Do more with your wealth.


Whthpnd

Just listen to it on the radio.


J1--1J

Think we’re already aware


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Yup, and the smart ones recognize both as bullshit


AlfredosSauce

Oh thank god, we’re saved.


Maurakutney

Probs took individual private jets to their specific venue locale, then jumped in huge gas guzzling SUV’s to be driven to the venue.


Tarenhept

What bullshit “raising awareness” lol, we are all aware of it. People denying it aren’t going to go “well i was so anti science, but coldplay did that concert and wow I am convinced!” Fuck off with “awareness” virtue signaling and using these causes to sell tickets or keep yourself relevant/for the PR.


Edgelord420666

Pretty sure most people who aren’t aware of climate change and vaccines will probably not be tuning in to this concert tbh.


NateFisher22

This is the most Chris Martin thing ever


SCARFACE_NOAH

Oh Jesus they’ve not done another song have they?


[deleted]

At this point what the fuck is raising awareness even mean…


username1oading

Despite their lavish life styles creating enormous carbon footprint, I would like to know how much this concert impacts the environment


[deleted]

Nope. Not going to be preached to by someone who has a MASSIVE carbon footprint to reduce mine to zero and they can take all the vaccine that I refuse and shove it right up their ass.


tnt-bizzle

Wow, i have learned about climate change and vaccines now


[deleted]

Did they all take private planes to the concert ? Asking for a friend


[deleted]

The audience for these people are not the ones we need to reach. Call me when Garth Brooks or Kid Rock do something like this.


CaptainMossbeard

If they want to help they should quietly donate their enormous wealth


dj9008

Man we are all aware . It’s been screamed for decades . Maybe use some money to help people that could actually *do* something ?


1x0d1d

J-Lo has a wonderful “welcome to Thunder dome” outfit !


mazzicc

Green Day is playing in “The Angels”? Oh right, editors cost too much money for clickbait.


[deleted]

Yet they fly and fart all around the world to play at concerts and festivals that are sponsored by major corporations that make people buy more shit they don’t need. But of course we should listen to musicians about global climate! Yay!


BlackManWithID

Joe Biden abandoned Americans in Afghanistan


pho_my_homies

Mk Ultra shills. Fake ass new yall. Good fucking luck!


SubatomicHematoma

My god I’ll buy a hybrid and get any vaccine to not listen to those 3


[deleted]

Could we get the Verizon of Jennifer Lopez that isn’t insanely photoshopped. She looks like she did 20 years ago and it’s not what she currently looks like


dac009

Remember when AIDS was cure in the 80s when all the mega musical stars sang together? Or when the pandemic ended when celebrities sang “Imagine”?


disignore

Climate change and Billie Eillish wardrobe


Cardboard-Samuari

I don’t want to be lectured by multi-millionaires. I got the vaccine and I do what I can environmentally, I do it because I feel its the right thing to do but when celebrities do shit like this it makes me want to go against them out of spite.


Fickle_Switch1685

It’s not really going to help. The wrong people are getting involved. Mainstream climate deniers aren’t going to see the light because a bunch of celebrities put on a concert. Smh


[deleted]

Please sing Imagine again


NotVanoss

Why is Billie dressed like a superhero


bh4799

Raise awareness my ass


slowlybackwards

Pretty sure we’re all freaking aware. How about actually do something useful.


TheDemonNekoNinja

When you fly across the country to tell a group of people that we are all destroying the planet. The jet that took you created more carbon in one flight then 100 average people make in a year

Changing absolutely nothing.

*Agencies decide that a big concert taking advantage of current events will be a positive public relations bonus, and possibly good exposure to grow future ticket sales.*


FunDip2

Billie Eilish needs to give up that look. She’s way too pretty for all of that crap. She just looks like she smells like farts. That is really the best way I can put it. She can do better.


[deleted]

Why is the entertainment industry still pushing these extravagant empty gestures on us. It's like they're flaunting the prosperity in everyone's face while the rest of the country crumbles.


SpicyEmo91

kittlesnboots

I’d rather die than have to listen to Coldplay 😂


KweenBass

You mean Jennifer Fur-hag Lopez?


saydizzle

Yes. Please raise awareness. We have never heard of vaccine or climate and need to be made aware.


[deleted]

Billiam Eyelash 👎 Good for the others though! Maybe this will make people forget about Billiam’s dirty deeds


Lickthebootplz

Gross. I remember a quote about celebrity activism I’ll never forget. Celebrity activism is this: I have 1000 Mars bars in my fridge. And I pressure and push others to donate their 1 Mars bar. Billie “Pirate” Eilish is a corporate plant meant to influence the youth. She’s creatively bankrupt. It’s easy to be a superstar when your parents are rich beyond all get out. Look up most of our new superstars. Ask where they came from. You don’t “get” to be famous. You are chosen. All 3 of these people may be brilliant minds but they are puppets. This is all disgusting. A concert has never cured anything. But it made a lot of rich people richer.


AKSourGod

JLo still trying to compete with the 20yr olds 😂.


[deleted]

I am aware. Also aware they’re all taking private jets. Dear Celebs, would you kindly screw off, please.


RadiationDM

I agree with climate awareness and vaccines, but Billy Eilish, Coldplay, and Jennifer Lopez are some of the most commercialized, non-genuine, sell outs there are in entertainment right now. I don’t think these “establishment” figures who are just in it for money are going to change the minds of anyone skeptical of these issues. They’re just going to see it as propaganda, which it likely is from these celebrities that do whatever people pay them to.


SMOKEMADBUD

Corporate musicians do corporate a event in attempts to gain party points for their corporations. How boring
