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.

And here's me, post-it on the side of the monitor, looking forward to turning EVERYTHING on from 2000-2200 (just to be sure)
and with so few things to look forward to these days !
Oh the irony. Power outages will be common if the Leftists have their way with global warming.
I had to look it up...
Pheewww !
I looked it up and it IS tonight .. my weekend is salvaged !
LOL
Modern California names uber-expesive electric car playthings for the rich after the same man.
Here's to COAL and Nikola Tesla -- the mineral and man who made all modern life possible.
Snowing up here in the Idaho Panhandle today.
It’s always Earth Day in NOKO then...
“it IS tonight”
Great news! I was concerned that I had missed it.
Fire!
Is someone going to nuke me from orbit if I don’t turn off my lights?
Never thought of that. Way more than I remember growing up. Seem to be more frequent and last longer.

Further north than me but seem to cover a lot of the midwest. It must be beautiful there. It's not every year, but we have had late snows many years, usually not this late in March though. Might help with recharging the ground for growing season only we don't need flooded fields or otherwise.
You didn’t miss it. It’s at 8:30 pm your time tonight. I’ll turn the porch light on to remind you.
Xerxes had the waters of the Hellespont whipped after a storm destroyed the bridges of his invasion army into Greece.
That’ll teach the climate!
Now we have to have commie/hippie hour, at totally different time from that commie/hippie/pagan “Earth Day”?
Oooo, this is what my neighbors do. So I will turn on all the lights in protest. Didn’t know it was now.
I do. But I call it sauna hour.
OOPS ... I misunderstood. I turned on every light and electrical appliance in the house. My bad.
My neighbor, who won’t talk to us anymore since we got disgusted with their neurotic little dogs auto-barking at us for hours on end, and who also wear shirts that say “Homeland security”/”fighting terrorism since 1492”.
“people were switching off their lights for”
...solidarity with common North Koreans.
