Oh, sorry, I forgot to worship earth hour.
My high school newspaper!!
Nope.
Where is the barf alert?
“We can take an hour Saturday night to talk about the impact climate change is having on narwhals,...”
Lol.
These people are insane.
Literally.
>>Yes, Earth Hour is symbolic, but it’s not trivial. <<
Yes, yes it is trivial. Every year on Earth Day I turn on every light in the house, crank up the AC and open all my doors.
And no, a country with a disbursed population smaller than several of our states can not do a damn thing since humans have nothing to do with it.
No one even cares about quohogs!!!
I thought these were the same chaps who thought creation could just evolve itself.
Either we are looking at a tragedy (fast or slow) in a creation, or Darwin went AWOL.
I am of the creationist view and think that yes, we’ll lose some species, but God will still arrange for the ecological vacuums to fill from the worldful of creatures there still are. In the meantime, if other species are getting scarce, that’s why God gave mankind the capability of running zoos. And maybe we’ll even discover that narwhals are showing up somewhere we never thought they would. Have we managed to map out all the flora and fauna of earth? Not even close to it yet.

Climate change is just another tactic the One World Government backers use to scare the low information snowflakes into submission to accomplish their goal for ultimate control.
Kind of funny to see Canadians in horror over the Earth warming a degree or two at most. They and Russia would be the biggest winners with a warming climate.
What is earth hour?
Some of the greatest technical and scientific achievements by man...metallurgy, cast iron, steel, physics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, controlled combustion, coal mining, AC power, central power stations, long-distance transmission of power, step-up and step-down transformers, control systems, wire manufacturing, electrical appliances, the incandescent bulb, motive power, traction engines, refrigeration cycles...were all mastered and commercialized to eliminate the pure drudgery of life for mankind that existed for 10,000 years and made for average lifespans of less than 40 years.
Why would we want to undo all this stellar achievement?
As someone who spent most of his career in the power industry, there is very little in life that makes me more angry than the idiots and hypocrites who posture and rail against power but who won’t go live in caves, eat bugs and bark, wear animal skins, toil in fields all day, and die by age 30.
Climate change happens...
Thousands of years ago NYC was under a mile of ice...
Not a thing us minuscule insects called humans compared to the planet can do anything about it...
Supreme arrogance to think we can..
I have every light in the house burning. And I kicked the thermostat up a couple of degrees for the next hour too.
Current climate change is normal and inside the range of natural variations that might be expected. There is a difference between weather variation and climate change.
Miller needs to calm down and take a look at what is causing the current extremes, such as periodic variations in arctic and antarctic in global sea ice, effects of El Nino events, etc.
He needs to stop getting his information from the alphabet channels and paid hacks at the UN.
OTOH, I am a "global warming denier". It's a figment of the "sex-crazed love poodle's" (Algore) imagination. His free lunch ticket.
Every environmentalist is a lying, violent, totalitarian thug.
“David Miller is the president and CEO of World Wildlife Fund Canada”
Yes. Because animals living in the Deep Dark Forests of Canada-Eh, many who have never, and WILL never, see a human being, are going to NOTICE that you’ve turned the lights out around the globe. At night. While they’re sleeping, or out foraging in the DARK as they always do.
To, um, er, SAVE them...or something...
