Earth Hour is Saturday night, March 27 from 8:30 to 9:30 pm. It’s an event we traditionally celebrate by turning on every light in the house, firing up the flat screen TV, and burning every kilowatt possible.
But the eco-wackos of the world celebrate by turning off all their lights, singing Kumbaya and huddling together for warmth. In other words, it’s like a typical night in North Korea. And that’s the future environmentalists see for you.
The Melbourne Herald-Sun points out the stupidity of it all:
The land where the lights are permanently out, as the famous satellite photograph shows of the stunning difference between the northern and southern ends of the Korean peninsula….
Nothing better captures the utter inanity of the cult of global warming and its characterisation of carbon dioxide as an even greater Satan than George W. Bush’s America than Earth Hour. Insufferably smarmy, quite pointless, contradictory, utterly inchoate.
Although I have to concede a certain bizarre honesty in the way the concept projects – a tacit admission that the anti-CO2 crusade actually does seek to literally turn off the lights…. Earth Hour seems to project that looking – literally – like North Korea is not only a good thing but where the aggressive campaign against CO2 will end up.
No, no, no, comes back the response. In the post-carbon future, alternative energy will provide all the light we want.
So if we can, if we supposedly will, look like today’s South Korea in that glorious future, why not celebrate turning on the lights?
Unbeknownst the Willie Nelson, he penned the eco-wackos’ anthem: “Turn out the lights, the party’s over.”
We say, “Turn on the lights, the party’s just getting started.” And we invite you to join us, friends, in noting Earth Hour with a celebration of the wonders of electricity.
