The environmental group WWF urged governments, businesses and households to turn back to candle power for at least 60 minutes starting at 8 p.m. wherever they were.Me, I went out on my enclosed porch, cracked a sliding door for ventilation, lit a carbon-emitting maduro, poured a little Cabernet and watched me some teeveee. Of course, I needed the space heater going full blast, 'cause man-made global warming notwithstanding, it's still pretty dang cold out there...

What Did YOU Do for "Earth Hour"?

I turned on every light in my house, turned on every television and laughed at the envirowackos.
I turned off my one 40W bulb for a bit.
I tried to explain to some people that if I turn off my electric lights I will light kerosene lanterns or candles, both of which would produce "greenhouse gases". Plus, since big generators are more efficient than making your own power, it would be counterproductive. I was ignored.
I sat in my f150, smoked a camel, left it running with the windows down and air on full blast and enjoyed listening to some good music.
Well, I already went to those twisty bulbs -- actually starting nine years ago -- to lower my electric bill, and I turned down the furnace these past few months for Tim's Wallet Hour(s), not so much for an 'Earth Hour'.
Eight p.m. didn't exactly work out for candles, since I was handling flammable cleaning agents that contain kerosene. However, I did return several pounds of heavy metals to the Earth earlier in the day.
I'd like to have left a bunch of little pieces of lead in the ground and trees - you know - about the size of 145 grain.
But unfortunately I was working.
Maybe I can m ake up for it next weekend!
"earth hour"? i ignored it, as i ignore all of al gore's nonsensical ramblings. i am no scientist, don't even play one on t.v., but i can observe the short term weather cycles around me and read about longer term cycles historically, such as the "medieval warm period" and the little ice age that followed, and understand that many factors affect our weather, few of which we have any control over, such as the regular sunspot cycle and deep ocean currents. i find myself much more concerned with the barely hidden marxist bent of the "global warming" advocates, and their quest for global domination.
