| Vice President and Nobel Peace Prize-winner, Al Gore; Pop superstar, Pharrell Williams; & Producer, Kevin Wall |
DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) — Pharrell Williams says he'll have all of humanity singing together at a worldwide concert June 18 to fight global warming.
The pop superstar is teaming with Nobel Peace Prize-winner Al Gore to produce a "Live Earth" concert on seven continents to build support for a U.N. climate pact in Paris among more than 190 nations in December.
On a stage Wednesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos with producer Kevin Wall, Williams said "we literally are going to have humanity harmonize all at once" in support of a binding international accord to limit heat-trapping greenhouse gas emissions.
He said the purpose is "to have a billion voices with one message - to demand climate action now" from governments rather than to continue the world's reliance on fossil fuels.

And yet, another important and urgent topic you bring up, Petra. BRAVA! And it's so interesting you shared about Earth Day in Philadelphia back in 1970. I had no idea that even occurred.
And thank you for sharing the Michael Jackson video clip. I had never seen that one. WOW...that was POWERFUL!
Thank you for sharing this post, my friend!
