Google's Earth Hour (Vanity)
Google ^ | March 29, 2008 | Dr,Syn

Posted on 03/29/2008 6:49:29 PM PDT by Dr.Syn

All day today Google has been pushing an Earth Hour agenda:

On Saturday, March 29, 2008, Earth Hour invites people around the world to turn off their lights for one hour – from 8:00pm to 9:00pm in their local time zone. On this day, cities around the world, including Copenhagen, Chicago, Melbourne, Dubai, and Tel Aviv, will hold events to acknowledge their commitment to energy conservation.

Given our company's commitment to environmental awareness and energy efficiency, we strongly support the Earth Hour campaign, and have darkened our homepage today to help spread awareness of what we hope will be a highly successful global event.

I got sick of their Spitzeresque hypocrisy and emailed them the following:

Your Earth Hour nonsense finally made me change my default search engine from Google to Dogpile.

You are such hypocrites...your founders Larry Page and Serge Brin fly around in a private Boeing 767...and you have the balls to talk about Earth Hour.

I guess you think everbody should sacrifice to keep the rich liberal elites airborne.

See my previous.

Co-incidence eh? I downloaded that N. Korea map a few years ago. It finally came to good use. Some say it was Photoshoped because of the islands off S. Korea.

That's the difference between Capitalism( South Korea) and Socialism (North Korea) which doesn't allow private property.

Good. Global warming is a lie.

This past year the Earth cooled almost a whole degree Celcius. With that rapid a cooling the dumb liberal mainstream media and Google should be talking about the coming Ice Age. These liberals in the media are just Marxists that want to suck the life out of our civilization and capitalism.

The Chia Pet is so “green” that all the leftists all over the world dream of living in North Korea, as close to Stone Age standards of living as possible...... unless of course you are in the Party or the Chia Pet’s entourage, and then you can enjoy all manner of western luxuries.

I think the Google dudes should have to invite 200 people to fly on their 767 every time they’re going anywhere — how dare they waste so much energy and create so much carbon emission for just a handful of people?

Let’s pass a law! /s

If it saves energy, why doesn’t Google do it all the time?

If it was, it wasn’t touched much. I remember when NASA first released the huge world-wide photo-mosaic of that. The image was probably 4-5M, 4000x3000 pixels or some such. The Korean peninsula looked like these shots.

Here:

And I think I’d seen another version that’s even higher-res than the one you can click-through to there.

Screw Google!

They offer you a free service but you dislike them because they have a viewpoint?

Wow. That's hardcore.

Is that like those of us who would not eat a free donut from Hillary's campaign HQ?
