PASADENA, CA - Scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory released data today indicating an unmistakable cooling trend during 'Earth Hour'. The event, in which citizens voluntarily shut off unnecessary lights and appliances for one hour, was held to raise awareness of global climate change. Scientists say the event was so successful that temperatures were noticeably cooler during the event than even a mere six hours before.

ummm...six hours earlier it was daylight, and the warmest part of the day (2:30PM). So yes, it does kind of figure that it was warmer then. So What???

Hmmmmm, the event was held at night, but during the day it was hotter? Who would have guessed.

Did Las Vegas actually turn off the lights?

“That’s why I’m proposing immediate funding for subsidies to the poor and the homeless who may not have lights, so they may participate as well.”

That is too funny!

Just because you can’t understand it, doesn’r make it stupid.

Let’s see, earth hour was 8:30-9:30 PM, meaning a “mere six hours before”, the SUN WAS STILL UP!!

[GeronL]

six hours before ?? in which time zone?

[knittnmom]

DOH! PSEUODOJOURNALISM - I missed the satire link (blushing)

[IronJack]

You’ve got to be kidding. Does anybody with any measure of scientific acumen, not to mention self-respect, expect us to believe something this inane? Please tell me there are no people this stupid.
