Planet Gore posted this picture of Times Square in New York City showing the effect of ‘Earth Hour.’ The top panel is Times Square before Earth Hour. The bottom panel is Times Square during Earth Hour. Damsel and I notice that only a couple displays are off. (Snark!) This is virtually, a fart in a windstorm.
Now, don’t get us wrong. We are fastidious recyclers, composters and rarely run more lights in the house than are barely needed. However, we’re also extremely skeptical of the motivations of the Greenbat crowd when they insist man-made energy consumption to be the cause global warming. They only need to look skyward at high noon to see the ‘Glow Ball‘ responsible for climate warming (and cooling).
As for our household, we celebrated ‘Earth Hour’ by watching ‘Cops’ and ‘America’s Most Wanted’ on the 42-inch plasma HiDef big screen with the full-on surround sound and each using a laptop to look at John Walsh’s AMW.com website.
UPDATE: More Sour Hour: Al Gore Mansion snubs Earth Hour.
Oh come on now! Don’t be so skeptical!
Look in the lower right hand corner of the bottom picture and you’ll see a hooker with an emergency windup LED flashlight waving down traffic for potential customers. She also is carrying a titty pink laptop slung under the other arm.
I turned by lights off and lite about a dozen candles and then stepped into the backyard and relieved myself of greenhouse gas. Just doing my part. It was cold here last night and I need a little global warming. I enjoy the 9/11 tribute I got from you. Thanks.
Heh, I guess my magnifier isn’t as good as yours, Sig, but I’m sure she’s there saving the environment.
Ron, it’s a good thing you did the greenhouse gas outside – I’ve heard that candles in the presence of gas can cause a fireball or an explosion.
