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.<\/p>\n
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<\/a> of the motivations of the Greenbat<\/a> 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<\/a>‘ responsible for climate warming (and cooling).<\/p>\n 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<\/a> website.<\/p>\n
