What’s that you say? You totally forgot, and didn’t see anything in the news? In fact, I had no idea until I saw
Spend a moment at 8:30 today thinking about how much it would suck if, for a few days, your state loses access to stable, reliable fossil-fueled grid power. https://t.co/4Sxn48MkW4

I peruse Google news and Twitter looking for “climate change” daily. I hit several Warmist websites. And hadn’t seen anything about it. I did not run across anything about Earth Hour till page 9 on Google news looking for articles within the last 24 hours
EARTH HOUR 2019: WHY YOU SHOULD TURN YOUR LIGHTS OFF, AND WHEN TO DO IT
People around the world are set to turn off their lights on Saturday evening for Earth Day, acknowledging the threat that climate change poses to our planet.
Joining in is easy: simply turn off your lights at 8:30 p.m. local time on 30 March.
Earth Hour was first held in Sydney, Australia, in 2007. Now, monuments from New York’s Empire State Building to the Eiffel Tower in Paris go dark to raise awareness of how individual actions have the potential to create a tidal wave of change.
Wait a minute, hold on there. We are constantly told that individual actions are meaningless, that the only way to solve Hotcoldwetdry is for Government to pass all sorts of laws that implement taxes, fees, and control of our lives and businesses and the economy
Dr. Joanna I. House, reader in environmental science and policy at the University of Bristol, told Newsweek: “Our children are telling us loudly and strongly they want us to do something about the climate change we are causing to protect their future. Earth Hour is an important opportunity to show that even little things can make a big difference when enough of us do them.”
But Earth Hour is just that: one hour. Dr. Rebecca Elliot, assistant professor in the department of sociology whose research focuses on viewing climate change as an economic problem, highlighted to Newsweek: “The kinds of challenges we face demand collective, rather than individual, solutions: transformations to our infrastructure, supply chains, energy systems, and economic institutions.â€
See? So, what’s he point of turning off a few lights for one hour?
