The Earth Hour farce: Turn out the lights, the party’s over

Lights aren’t the only thing that turned off on Saturday night. Earth Hour is dying and Mother Gaia is crying. These are dark days for eco-wackos.

Lights aren’t the only thing that turned off on Saturday night. Earth Hour is dying and Mother Gaia is crying.

You know these are dark days for eco-wackos when Treehugger.com, a division of Discovery, shares this bad news:

Earth Hour started in Sydney in 2007; by 2009 it had spread around the world, becoming a very big deal everywhere but in the USA, where it never really caught on; even the website is empty and looks bogus. This year, the Australian organizers promise over a billion participants in 133 countries. A lot of press releases are flying round the internet, but something seems to be missing. This year the lights are going out not with a bang, but a whimper.

Three years ago in Toronto, ten thousand people turned up to hear Nelly Furtado sing “Turn out the light” at an Earth Hour concert in Toronto; last year a couple of hundred showed up; this year the concert is cancelled.

Here at IHateTheMedia.com intergalactic headquarters we celebrated Earth Hour by turning on the electricity-sucking flat screen TV and watching Cops.

Music to celebrate Earth Hour: Santana’s Turn Your Lights On

Hey,sorry we’re a little late with this, but most of the country can still celebrate the idiocy of Earth Hour by turning on every light and playing Carlos Santana’s “Turn Your Lights On.”

Earth Hour 2010. Think of it as your chance to party like a North Korean

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.

Think of South Korea as the vibrant, electricity-filled life you have now. Think of North Korea as the dark, cold life environmentalists dream of.

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.
