Not very bright of us   29/3/2009

Curses! We got caught up in the excitement of the Sydney-Saints game last night and clean forgot about Earth Hour. As a result of our absentmindedness, we had only three house lights burning, the PC humming along and, of course, the TV blaring.
Unlike Tim Blair, who had so much illumination his household was ‘glowing like irradiated lab mice’.
Michelle Malkin links to a much better — and far more rational — idea than suffering in the dark to achieve three-eighths of bugger-all.
On the local front, the guys at News Radio, unlike the rest of the ABC, show occasional flashes of scepticism to all sorts of articles of lefty faith.
They were chatting this morning about who ‘did the right thing’ and turned off the lights yet still managed to sound like lapsing Catholics paying lip service to ‘sacrifices’ for Lent.
Marc Sheppard nails the idiocy of it all:

And these same fools will be oblivious to the irony that the candles they light will emit more CO2 than would have the electric bulbs they’ve extinguished. And that were they to walk down to the beach and relieve themselves en masse into the ocean, they’d have as much effect on the tides as their carbon footprint has on the climate.

    …and hard evidence that Kiwis are turning off greens and turning lights on…

    “…and post-mortem on Earth day in NZ; Orion New Zealand estimated the electricity saved in the city during the lights-out event was 8.1%, well short of last year’s 12.8%….”
