symbols

lol @ earth hour. i guess ppl like to feel like they are doing things. really though, turning the lights off for an hour?

"'This provides an extraordinary symbol and an indication that we can be part of the solution'" to global warming, Australian Environment Minister Peter Garrett told Sky News television..." How?

You're gonna have to turn the lights off for a lot longer than that. Burn yr fucking deathhouse murder/rape factory "farms" to the fucking ground. And take the planes out of the sky. And shut the factories down. Turn off the oil rigs. Get all vehicles out of commission. And so on.

I'm not sure if Garrett is delusional or if he is trying to work some shit where he helps to convince ppl that shit really ain't that bad and that the incalculable problems we are facing can be solved, or even addressed, by such simple measures.

Example - "'We're not only talking the talk, we're walking the walk,' he said as the hour ended. 'Whatever your view is about the magnitude of the problem ... we can save money by using energy wisely and efficiently, and that gives us the added bonus of reduced greenhouse gas emissions.'"

What a sad state when turning off the fucking lights in yr house for an hour is really taking a stand. Jesus christ. Talk about pissing in the ocean.

And let me tell you, I am virtually certain that Garrett does not know my view of the "magnitude of the problem"
