Gordon Bloyer Protest: [link]New Zeland Anti-Earth Day Protest: [link]
Protester threatened in PA: [link]
Global Warming - the biggest fairytale I have ever seen. The term "Never waste a good crisis" is now a religion. Also, why the hell do you need to threaten people and falsify information to get something done?
Sorry, but I'm turning my lights ON and I hope you do too.

This is a bit old but I'll reply. When this was going on everyone in my extremely liberalΒ neighborhood, everybodyΒ was turning off their power... except me. I rented a stereo and D.J andΒ told him to play as loud as he could and turned on every light I had. Needless to say they weren't happy. ~ C

Yeah.Β How dare people who've read a science book acknowledge the existence of pollution.

I kick over garbage cans, I litter, I pour chemical cleaners onto lawns and in woods, and I've never once recycled in my life. I also heavily use pesticides. And my hobby is taking photos of factories.Environmentalists are usually college kids with nothing better to do than rant for a pointless cause. This stamp is great, keep up the pollution

Global warming denial-because everything that contradicts the political ideology you are slavishly devoted to is instantly a LIBRAL SOSHULIST CUNSPIRACEE!!!
Wake up mate.

I'm supposed to "wake up" because someone who slavishly follows a political ideology is accusing me of slavishly following a political ideology?Β Yeah, no.Β I think I'll stick to the belief that the hypocrites complaining during speeches about me leaving a "carbon footprint" while flying private jets to and from said speeches are the real morons here.Β Well, them and people like you who blindly follow them.

Before I die, I'll try making the biggest carbon footprint.

Last time this speshul hour took place, Youtube put their BG in black instead of white and had banners everywhere saying "don't be herrreee turn lights off, derrrp".
I went up to go to the bathroom, and when I got back, blue screen of death.
I did and still do believe they scripted the site to do that on purpose.

I would've bought into Global Warming if it weren't for 1)Carbon dioxide is actually good for the environment...plants breathe it in and couldn't exist without us, who breathe oxygen that they exhale, 2)When temperatures actually started to go DOWN after GW-believers really picked up steam, we suddenly had Global Cooling - which is somehow caused by the exact same things as Global Warming, 3)They falsified information - such as measuring the amount of greenhouse gases right over a VOLCANO! - but media downplayed it and said it was for our own good. You know, imagine a doctor telling his patient he's in danger of terminal illness, when he was merely exaggerating...yeah, that would go over well...the list goes on. I'm all for caring for the environment, but Mother Nature's got a tougher skin than many give her credit for.

But too much carbon dioxide is a bad thing. That's why Venus is boiling hot.

What's one hour compared to a whole year; the whole idea is a tad silly - a publicity stunt to feel better and look green. NBC/Universal/SyFy dimming it's studio lights for an NFL game while their affiliate broadcast stations pump out megawatts of radio energy throughout North America. So the Bay Bridge/Golden Gate are darkened; big deal.
Forty miles south from me, in Coahuila Mexico, a HUGE coal plant belches out power every hour of every day; CFE doesn't give a dam and neither do any of it's customers.

And for that matter, the amount of electricity saved/not being consumed may be well into the ten thousands or even millions, but they then go off on a tirade about the trillions (or billions, at the very least) that we waste all the time. It's silly, really.

Turn on the lights the TVs flush the tolets and also turn up the heat or cold to your hearts content! (I'm serrious!)

I just turn the lights off all the time to save the electricity BILLS, not so much as the earth.

Well, I'll just go Amish the day after to cut down bills...so I can save up for a solar panel! Hey, that seems like a good idea...

This is stupid, Earth Hour is something that united the world for one hour, and that we do something for the world we love. You clearly don't appreciate what you got in this world.

I'm always asleep for that hour, so I don't end up being the one to make that decision...mom and dad and sister completely ignore the concept, however. I think...XD
Personally, I have looked into the issue quite a bit, and, unless someone somehow has the ability to manipulate just about every public source of information out there, global warming does exist, though humans are only have a minor effect on it. Over time, the Earth's overall average temperature has risen and fallen, leading to an overall average increase. In the past few centuries, the rate of increase has increased quite a bit, and there is that issue of the hole in the Ozone layer...
Now, obviously, I haven't directly seen the results of all of these studies, and the such. I'm going by indirect evidence from various websites and books I have seen over the years. In the long term, I don't recall ever seeing any evidence, reliable or not, that global warming is a hoax.
Either way, regardless of whether or not global warming is real, turning the lights off would save some electricity. A small amount, but still some.

Ehh... 'ave youse ever heard of the sayin', "Don't toss the baby out with the bathwater"?
I'm not ashamed to say I was once a bonified redneck, and quite frankly my folks would be up shit creek without a paddle if we didn't practice conserving our water and power and food and what-not on our paddock.
If I'm getting the wrong idea don't youse bite off my head or nothin', it just seems a bit silly trying to drive someone up the bend like this.

I think everyone has this mentality of if they use conservation methods they're 100% going stop global warming. When here's the thing, the Earth is going to change whether anyone likes it or not, species are dying off (the ones who can't adapt to the Earth's changing climate) because of it. This cycle has repeated itself since the first living organisms graced the planet. Over millions of years such has happened and we're stop trying to hold back what has naturally millions of year before we walked the earth and is still going on today. Every other commercial I see they're spouting "Let's stop climate change!""Let's stop global warming!" when we can't, no one can. We can only slow the process down. People just can't accept that nature is taking its course while natural selection is ruling out certain species who can't adapt to the changing climates. Yes the polar bears might die off, but that's the price that has to be paid for life to go on. So yeah, this whole "stop global warming and climate change" fad is a crock of shit. The planet's going to do what they planet is going to do, the only thing you can do about it prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

Hey, I'm all for being a good steward of the earth and all, but I just hate it when I feel like I'm forced to jump through hoops to stop something that is both natural and going to happen regardless of what we do.

Wow... No wonder air qualty is becoming worse and worse. I'm sorry, but this is the most ridiclous idea I've ever seen, based completely on ignorance. The actual cause of climate change (not necessarily "warming" but certainly change) is competely scientifically sound. I really, really hope you know that plants are made mainly of carbon and that fossil fuels are compressed plants, thus coal and oil are very dense in carbon. Carbon, in the form of a gas, rises and is very, very good at trapping heat. If the environment was completely balanced, CO2 (carbon combined with oxygen in the atmosphere) would be absorbed by plants, which would realease oxygen, and there would be just enough CO2 to keep the earth warm and the seasons balanced. When coal, oil and other fossil fuels are burned, far more carbon is realeased than ould naturally. This also results in poor air quality, due to the mercury and other pollutants trapped with the fuels. If you're willing to risk the one place in the universe known to have life simply to be stubborn in your ways, then I don't know what to tell you except that you either have no morals or no sense.
There's your physics lesson for the day. I'm sorry if I got a bit harsh, but this is something that I've dedicated a lot of study to, and to see it being blown off as myth is terriby frustrating.

oh deary me, it seems you're a global warming denialist >_>; Though if you want to blatantly ignore thousands of research papers providing evidence on the topic of global warming then by all means, go ahead. Unless you think that it's a !CONSPIRACY! with the world government and scientists! *LE GASP*

You mean, like the people who denied the thousands of research papers saying that blacks have smaller brains and were just generally more primitive? Or the thousands of doctors who thought it was insane to constantly wash your hands before handling newborn babies? It's not science that lies, it's the assholes in the labcoats that do.

No offense, but those are not related to global warming in any way! You are begging the question here. Misconduct in other areas does not equal misconduct in this area. And in actually reading academic papers, you would be able to determine the flaws of the paper such as small sample size, poor methodology, lack of double-blind testing, or just outright failure to correctly report the study's results. Studies done on global warming are well-conducted, and there is a HUGE number of studies supporting it. Extrodinary claims demand extrodinary evidence, and to objectively deny such a well-supported area of research would require a lot of well-conducted, very large studies against it, which incidentally don't exist.
