American Thinker: Fool's Day Arrives Early

If you're laughing at those who actually turned off all their lights for one hour tonight (surely they know to keep their headlights on...hmmm) then you'll like this short piece from the American Thinker:
By Marc Sheppard
At 8:30 this evening in every time zone on the planet, droves of otherwise rational human beings will be dousing their lights to be counted among those believing that such actions may somehow ward off climate change. Please.

Say hello to another edition of Earth Hour and to those fools who either believe that the byproducts of civilization’s sustaining power generation somehow degrade Mother Nature’s climate balance or simply play along for fun and profit.

According to event sponsor World Wildlife Fund’s website, “Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming.” Talk about your false dilemmas. Lights off – save the planet. Lights on – bring on the floods, plagues and the general hellfire penance for the sins of your selfish success. What a crock.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon explained just how his conspicuously corrupted coalition, whose NY headquarters will be joining in the dimming festivities, will utilize the “votes”:
“People will be telling their representatives to seal a deal in Copenhagen. A deal at the climate change talks that will protect people and the planet. We need an ambitious agreement. An agreement that is fair and effective. An agreement based on sound science.”

We’ve shredded the clueless Ban’s absurd “sound science” claim time and time again, and won’t repeat ourselves this Saturday night. And fair and effective? A decade of cooling and an increasingly skeptical populace have these clowns in such a frenzy to establish their illusory worldwide government, they’ve patently dropped all pretenses. In fact, the plan they’ll propose at tomorrow’s climate conference in Bonn, Germany calls for nothing short of an international reallocation of both wealth and the industry that drives it.

Reading the reshuffling scheme this Fox News-acquired UN document [PDF] dares tender, you’d think the alarmists had somehow successfully sold their mankind stinks fairy tale. Thankfully, recent polls suggest they haven’t.

Nonetheless, enough fools will likely play along with tonight’s lights out parlor game to stock the alarmist armory for the pending Battle of Copenhagen (December’s Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen), where the world governance maps of Kyoto II will be drawn.

And these same fools will be oblivious to the irony that the candles they light will emit more CO2 than would have the electric bulbs they’ve extinguished. And that were they to walk down to the beach and relieve themselves en masse into the ocean, they’d have as much effect on the tides as their carbon footprint has on the climate.
