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.

I am so saddened by these people driving their prius'. Don't they realize that all the gas we don't use is being devoured by the Chinese and used to oppress the peoples of Tibet! Obviously they don't care for the children while they are driving their racist hate machines of imperialist oppression! Well I for one will not be a part of that.
And we applaud you for your courageous stand.
For every green, composting person out there, I am determined to counteract what they do. Which means never recycling, keeping the car running while I'm sitting in it, flushing twice, using normal light bulbs!
Sam, the earth is huge and we populate a small portion of the earth. Our effect pales compared to one volcano eruption. The idea of returning to an agrarian society in a useless attempt to lower the global temperature by one degree is idiotic.

Is this an effect?:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pacific_Garbage_Patch
Does that patch include the oil that the Earth itself leaks into the oceans through the crust, roughly estimated to be 80% of existing oil and has always been there, even before humans invented fire?
As for volcanos, yes they emit more chemicals in the air in one day than humans have emitted since the the Industrial revolution. And there are how many active volcanos right now? Oh, and there are how many underwater volcanos in the north that are truly responsible for any melt we are seeing?
Oil? This is garbage! Plastic isn't naturally occurring.
Are you seriously trying to argue with its existence. I know you guys love Fox news. Even they have covered it.
Our effect on what feature of the environment pales to the effect of a volcanic eruption?
Do people here think that human actions have no negative effect on the environment?
I ate beans for lunch. Guess what I'm going to be doing during Earth Hour? Too bad Al Gore isn't here to enjoy it!
I'm trying to charge up my 15 million candlepower in time for 8:30 to shoot it straight up in the air as it creates a terrific light for hundreds of feet up into the air. But I've lost my adapter, and had to shove another in--so far no charge, but I'm hoping. I want to "enlighten" my liberal neighbors!
The writings on the wall , obama wants to take away your busses , cars , tractors , lawnmowers and electricity . He will give you a bicycle and if you dont complain and are good little liberial puppets , he might throw in a pair of tennis shoes , what more could you want ?
Carlos Santana wrote this awhile back...perhaps he was ahead of his time?
Hey now, all you sinners
Put your lights on, put your lights on
Hey now, all you lovers
Put your lights on, put your lights on
Hey now, all you killers
Put your lights on, put your lights on
Hey now, all you children
Leave your lights on, you better leave your lights on
What is that one dot on North Korea? Is that near the capital?
Ahh... Earth Hour is pointless it truly is. I am supposed to feel good about about putting all my lights off for one hour a year? Really?
We are cranking up the juice at 8:30 tonight:
