Pampered rock stars flying round the place in planes and helicopters and using limos who then tell us all to live our lives in a green way are becoming somewhat tiresome.

Hmm. But given that the US is one of the two major nations of the world (Australia being the other notable culprit) that did not sign up to Kyoto, and given that the Chinese gave the go-ahead for a Live Earth concert in Shanghai, was some political capital not gained as a result?
