The Latest: World cities turn off lights to mark Earth Hour
Fox News ^ | March 30, 2019 | Associated Press

Top tourist sites in coal-reliant Poland are turning off their lights at 8:30 p.m. in solidarity with global Earth Hour action calling for better climate protections.

In Poland's capital city, Warsaw, the spired landmark Palace of Culture and Science was turning off its night illumination, along with some churches and Old Town walls, all popular tourist venues.

In the southern renaissance city of Krakow, which sees millions of tourists from around the world each year, the central vaulted Cloth Market and the 14th-century red brick St. Mary's Basilica al turned off its lights.

The Earth Hour gesture calls for greater awareness and more sparing use of resources, especially fossil fuels that produce carbon gasses and lead to global warming.

Rep. Steve Scalise: “Those Who Call Fossil Fuels 'Immoral' Should 'Stop Using Them Today!

*Nor should they use anything plastic, or otherwise synthetic, no make up, no hairstyling, never buy anything in a box, avoid walking on pavement (since it takes fossil fuels to run the equipment that made and poured the concrete, avoid all vehicles, run from blacktopped roads, never use any man-made piece of equipment.

*Best hold you nose and run naked into the uninhabited forest, desert, jungle, mountain huddle up and quiver until the cougar or bear invites you to dinner ...

Should leave power completely off for 24 hours and call it “Electric Power Appreciation Day”.

Yawn. Must be time to go to bed already.

Switching off lights voluntarily is altogether different from having the power rationed to maybe one or two hours a day, or even a week, and paying exorbitant fees for even that short window of time.

I’m sure it’ll make some feel really good about what they’re doing for the earth, being such an enormous sacrifice.

It doesn’t help. Just a feel good idiotic stupid thing to proclaim one’s moral superiority.

That’s a reminder for me to turn on every light in the house for an hour.

Even the lights we never use.

Might go out back and burn some tires, too.
