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

    A previous year the power consumption went up.

    David:

    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.

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
