Lights go dark for Earth Hour to highlight climate change

LONDON (AP) — In Paris, the Eiffel Tower went dark. In London, a kaleidoscope of famous sites switched off their lights — Tower Bridge, Big Ben, Piccadilly Circus, the London Eye.

~~SNIP~~

It lasted for just an hour and its power is purely symbolic. But in countries around the world, at 8:30 p.m., people were switching off their lights for Earth Hour, a global call for international unity on the importance of addressing climate change.

Holy crap, did I miss Erf hour again?

Anyone else 'Celebrate"?

Dang it, well, better late than never...

"But in countries around the world, at 8:30 p.m., people were switching off their lights for Earth Hour, a global call for international unity on the importance of addressing climate change funding the globalists superyachts.

Good Heavens! If I had known I would have rented klieg lights to shine against the clouds.

[Billthedrill]

I guess I must have missed it myself. At 8:30 PM last night I was stoking the wood stove and watching it snow. And we’re a week from April. Come on, Global Warming...

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

LOL! Is that real?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Is that global warming militant Leonardo DiCrapios yacht?

[Luke21]

Asspress pollution alert. Anything they write is sludge.

ISS should have gotten an IR signature hit from my house during save muvver erf hour. Nice pic.

If it is, and it's not that place in NH, then I'd guess Asia.

Can't be Africa, because they use worn tires for other purposes.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I wonder how many idiots actually participate in this nonsense.

[PROCON]

I would imagine all the little minds full of mush at ‘The March’ today had their lights off last night as they chanted to Gaia.

[Paladin2]

It’s Nikola Tesla Day!

Let’s hear it for 3 phase AC ‘lectricity!

[tflabo]

And what has mankind to do with solar activity, slight fluctuations in the earth’s rotational spin and changing cycles of global wind patterns? Absolutely ZERO but what’s one hour of symbolic stupidity in the lives of climate change morons with an agenda?

[PROCON]

[UCANSEE2]

No, here is his yacht.

[Calvin Locke]

Practically anybody with school-aged children, I’ll posit, being brain-washed enough not to know up from down and right from wrong.

[PROCON]

The Climatistas want us more like the Norks.

[dayglored]

“220, 221”? I’m missing the reference... ??

[PROCON]

That pic is from the movie, 'Mr. Mom', Michael Keaton as the know-it-all stay-at-home Dad trying to fix an electrical problem.

The 220-221 (volts) refers to how little he knows of electricity.

(Better if you had seen the movie)

It's still snowing here and more accumulation than I expected, maybe 6" at the most so far. Very heavy, wet snow. It's kind of pretty knowing the temps won't take a nosedive like they did in January and warm up to melt it off which will take a few days.

But the political propaganda rituals and frenzies really annoy me. Especially since the media presents it as so one-sided. We CANNOT buy out way out of catastrophic events and only have so much control over the elements. Look how frantically they had to work to save large parts of N Cal from the Oroville dam failing which it didn't., part luck and part frantic human effort. But nature could have won if there had been much more rain or snow melt.
