U2 criticised for world tour carbon footprint
Environmentalists claim the Irish stadium rockers' tour will create enough carbon to send Bono and the boys to Mars. Why not just send them to Mars?
U2's world tour might make an enormous impression with its giant claw, but the environmental impact is reportedly just as staggering.
