A Carbon Footprint You Can See From Space


Today is Earth Hour, when those who worship Blessed Gaia switch off their lights between 8:30 and 9:30 PM Zulu Time in order to scourge themselves of their sins. Sorry, other people's sins.

Here at Chez Szondy, we will, of course, be marking that time by turning on every light in the house, lighting up the massive outdoor searchlight display, bonfires fueled with loads of coal and old tyres, having a massive barbecue with every meat imaginable, and our ever popular SUV drag races.

By the bye, the UN is getting in on the act, and how much do they expect to save by this rubbish? $81,000? $24,000? Nope. Try $102.

Update: We will also be showing this clip continuously on our three dozen 103-inch plasma screens that we've set up for the occasion:

I'm setting up the shop lights in the front yard now.
I'm also thinking of laying all the Christmas lights out on the lawn just to light up the neighborhood. Maybe I can make up that $102 all by myself

I have to say your moral opinions, political views and general outlook of life is so close to mine it´s scary.

I love the Tales of future past site.
