Poor little darlings, watching their pet cult die out as the disciples realize that nothing is what it seems, and that the elders in the Church Of Gore just want their money and obedience
Earth Hour started in Sydney in 2007; by 2009 it had spread around the world, becoming a very big deal everywhere but in the USA, where it never really caught on; even the website is empty and looks bogus. This year, the Australian organizers promise over a billion participants in 133 countries. A lot of press releases are flying round the internet, but something seems to be missing. This year the lights are going out not with a bang, but a whimper.
Three years ago in Toronto, ten thousand people turned up to hear Nelly Furtado sing “Turn out the light” at an Earth Hour concert in Toronto; last year a couple of hundred showed up; this year the concert is cancelled.
What’s causing this Earth Hour Ennui?
Treehugger never really answers the question, because, if they did, they would have have to acknowledge that Earth Hour is simply a feel good bit of silliness that accomplishes nothing, because for the rest of the year, the True Believers go right back to their high CO2 lifestyles.
