I laughed.
Energy save shmenergy shmave.
Who gets power bills that detailed?
That's why Google is black today.
Duh. I am dumb.
Just to raise awareness then. I guess they'll go back, although I've heard it's hard to.

tl;dr - Earth Hour is a retarded red herring of environmentalism.
Hear, hear. We dimmed the lights so the neighbours wouldn't hate us and kept watching DVDs :P
I'd venture that no one else in my 100-apartment building even knows what the fuck Earth Hour is. Bravo to Aussies for knowing, I guess.
Like an hour long masturathon. It skips the unnecessary bullshit.
Its a global thing. Media made a huge deal of it here. I work for one of the state government departments that handles enviro stuff, so we were under very strict orders to turn the dang office lights off on Friday afternoon :P
I barely heard a peep out of the MSM in the 'states. Ah well, fuck the world anyway.

You are an idiot.
No, he's not. Its a waste of time from a real-world coal saving point of view, but its a perfectly acceptable awareness-raising tool and only bitter know-nothings who don't care about anything but the bottom line CO2 usage think this.
Oops.
However, I must concede that I fart at least 3 times a day and I do produce methane. Methane is a greenhouse gas and is more damaging than CO2.
From this point on, for the sake of the environment, I will only fart twice a day. A reduction of 33% of my total carbon footprint. That should make up for it.
It does hurt in the respect that there are monumentally stupid people out there who go "hurr hurr is this what the environmental movement spends its time on?" .. but those people are probably lost to the cause anyway.
Those are basically the people who bitched about the advent of unleaded petrol. Presumably because they liked to sprinkle a few drops onto the paint chips they'd been nibbling.
Well, she's right. I find (for example) that when it comes to trying to advocate for some issue like restricting water related activities in rivers (to prevent the spread of didymo, a devastating algae that chokes rivers and waterways into oblivion), or advocating for less usage of antibiotics in farmed animals or whatever, that you get compared with the nuts and not the actual arguments you've made. It's the morons in the environmental movement, such as some of the green party that make getting anywhere with actual progress difficult, because anti-environmental groups ignore the rational well thought arguments people make and focus on the nuts to discredit the other arguments (without addressing them).
I hope it works just for the pictures.
