On March 29, 2008 at 8 p.m., join millions of people around the world in making a statement about climate change by turning off your lights for Earth Hour, an event created by the World Wildlife Fund. -Source <http://www10.earthhourus.org/>.- Will you observe?

The big EH
y google "turned their lights off" the normally white site is all black

Ax3l
I'll probably turn off the lights. No promises with my computer/xbox/tv

Bardock42
**** that. Going to turn on 5 extra lights.

Sam Z
Every light in my house will be going on just because of this.

Especially that WWF are doing it.

McLovin

I never have lights on anyway, I prefer the dark. Not turning off PC or PS2 though, **** that.

Kelly_Bean
I'll think about it. Shit I'll just go outside and see how many people actually do it, that'll be interesting considering the street I live on is full of douchebags.

Dude you're a dumbass, the bad thigns happening to the environment like this will effect everybody yourself included. So you're calling the environmentally aware people "****in tree huggers" when their trying to help better the environment for YOU?



I hope you were joking. If not, what's your idea for helping the environment? Do you want toe ozone to be destroyed and all of mankind to be burned to death and whiped out?

Good for you! Keep up the good work.

darthsith19
Really it is sunny outside, the curtains are opened, no lights are needed, unless you're in a darker room. If it's cloudy or night time outside, you only need one light on in the room that you're in.

I may not be shutting off my lights, but i dont own a car, i dont buy gas, i walk or bike everywhere, i dont litter and im not chopping down trees, killing animals or dumping toxic waste, starting useless wars for money, stopping the cure for cancer. etc etc etc.


If the world thought like me, I'd not only go mad, But there would be a lot less people getting into other peoples faces over no ****ing reason.
less war,
less drugs,
less everything unneeded.

so im keeping my ****ing lights on.
And in return im not going to go out by a hummer, drive across canada/america and set fire to the ice caps.

I take lots of things seriously, just because I don't feel the same way you do about the planet doesn't mean you can have the right to ridicule me.

I'd rather worry about my immediate life than the Earth, which like all planets, will someday die out.

Also, hasn't the whole "Global Warming" effect been proven to not be as serious as it's made out to be?

Whatever it's easy it takes about 1/2 a second to click off a light switch why do you want to keep your lights on anyways?

Good attitude. If everybody thought about global problems and cared, then the Earth WOULDN'T ever die. Physics begs to differ.

I don't mean you personally necessarily, I mean the human race as a whole. It will happen eventually if we don't change things. If you just want to care about yourself and nobody who comes after you then be fine be selfish.

I didn't know that farting hurt the Earth. But it can be unhealthy to hold in your farts.

The problem is that the environmental approach is likely more harmful than anything global warming will do to us. If your ideas would safe humanity and make everything great I would participate. But it is just a feel good about yourself while buying into a huge marketing machinery and harming the whole world economically while using flawed science thing, so I am not into it.

I'm sorry, I don't understand. How is the environmental approach hurting the environment more than it is helping it?

For one "the environment" is a broad concept. You want to preserve the one you know now. Second, it's not what I said, I said the environmental approach hurts humans more than the predicted effects would. Obviously things like polluting ground water or radiation poisoning has to be limited. But the global warming scare is ridiculous. It is not proven to be nearly as harmful or nearly as effected by humans as politicians and journalists make us believe. And it is clear why they lie, too. They make money off of people like you.

And the most ridiculous thing is that most of the people subscribing to the global warming shit also hate nuclear power...the clear solution to the fake problem.

Well if global warming continues, eventually Antarctica will melt and do you know how f*cked up things would be then?

Bardock42
Originally posted by darthsith19

New studies indicate that the oceans actually get colder. It is not beyond a natural cycle of warming and cooling so far. And that humans are responsible and how much they are is hardly proven and very debatable.

As for "how ****ed up things would be then"...the answer is "a little". It's not armageddon whatever way you look at it. I would seriously advise you to get educated about the issue. Especially the other side that never really is heard in our societies nowadays.

darthsith19
If Antarctica melted, the world would be f*cked up. "A little"? So many Countries and states would be completely underwater. The world is overpopulated as it is.

Most people believe in global warming because scientists say it's happening. Very few people say it's not happening. If you're so much smarter than all those scientists, why don't you go let the whole world know what's really going on?

I think you're thinking of the Arctic, not Antarctica (which is actually a desert).

And I really doubt that turning off a light for an hour will make any real impact on anything.

No, most people believe in global warming because journalists and politicians keep banging it into everyone's mind. Science is debating. Politicians are closing the case. Also, I don't have to, other people did, you can do your research yourself.

Environmentalist movements are perfect for mindless followers. You can feel good about yourself, meet with similar minded people and do not think for yourself a second.

He's talking about if Antarctica melted. For starters, a landmass cannot melt. Secondly, there's so little precipitation there (hence it being a desert - it's actually too cold for snow down there) that I don't think it'd make much of a difference.

Now, the Arctic Ocean which is nothing but ice, on the other hand...if that were to melt, then yes, it'd be a disaster.

Which, if it melted would certainly be much worse than the arctic melting, as the arctic is basically an icecube and won't increase the water by a milimeter. Except for Greenland now, that might be a problem.

If the Arctic were to melt, though, that water would have to go somewhere. Also, if the Earth were to warm up enough for that to happen then we'd be having other problems already as it is, so a lot of issues would be compounded. And there is land far up north that is within the Arctic circle other than simply Greenland stick out tongue

If that's what he meant, then yes, that is true. Though there's also less land in the Southern hemisphere so it'd take longer for the trouble it'd cause to really spread. It'd suck if you lived in Australia or New Zealand, though ermm

True. The water that's just floating on the ocean would not rise the sea level though...has to do with some shit that weirdo Pythagoras found I hear. True about the other land though. And we might very well have problems, it's pretty much undeniable that the earth is at least partly warming. What might be discussed is human involvement in that and estimated effects. A fact that hardcore eco-weirdos fail to acknowledge completely.

I don't think one single event can make everyone more aware of what could happen regarding the environment. Like I said before, things that a small group of people can/will do are going to be nullified by the larger whole in time.

By the sounds of it, your logic is that unless the human race does more for the planet/environment we won't leave a positive impact, which is ignorant. We leave our impact through our relationships, our jobs, our skills, our education and our actions. Not all of our impact is positive but not all of our impact is negative.

I don't think these events will make people anymore aware than they were before. Many people who will do these events will only do them because they heard it from a friend, through the radio, saw it on the internet or television. They won't bother to actually look up facts or think about what they are doing. They will just do it.

This whole effort is ultimately wasted in the end.

Damn that's funny..absolutely NO ONE from view out of my front window has turned their lights out. laughing out loud Such lovely people. stick out tongue

I think the majority of the people who live in my town left their lights on, but they are a bunch of rednecks

rednecks... laughing out loud

they are.. I live in a small town full of stupid people

Rogue Jedi
we have them here too.

gefallen_engel
the people even look scary here! you have to be careful jumping into the gene pool you might crack your skull!

Scythe
One person can't make the difference. This "hour" long event will go unnoticed to the earth. For human kind to make such an impact, the lights would have to turn off for 500 years. One hour will better this planet right?? Ha!
