#33059 — Dang - missed Earth Hour again

I wish they'd advertise it better, so that I can ignore it deliberately.

Is that an Australian thing? - Never heard of it here in the UK.

It was started here, to our shame, but it got picked up in a number of 
other countries.

Showing support by turning off efficient lighting, and burning 
inefficient CO2 emitting candles instead, is a common theme.

Earth hour is, above all, a demonstration of ignorance.

**Well, not really. It was designed to make people aware of the problems 
this planet faces and that we ALL need to work together to make a 
difference. Certainly, turning off pool pumps (or filling in a pool, 
like I did), or air conditioners will make several orders of magnitude 
more impact on the environment than turning off some LED lighting, but 
lighting is easy to see.

Whatever the intent behind it, all it's managed to demonstrate is that 
people have little understanding of the issues.

HEH, when I see China or India doing it then it might seem revelant.

**The average Chinese citizen emits less than 25% of the CO2 than an 
Aussie does. The average Indian citizen emits less than 10% of the 
average Aussie.

Which nations caused the vast bulk of the human induced CO2 in the 
atmosphere today?

Hint: It was not China nor India.

A: It was us in the West. It is up to us to demonstrate a willingness to 
reduce CO2 emissions. To do otherwise, would be hypocritical.

Even you should have noticed that there are more than 50 times as many of 
them.

them.

China and India do.

We arent a single nation.

Even sillier than you usually manage.

Even sillier than you usually manage.

And turning the fucking lights off for a fucking
