Another Earth Hour

"Earth Hour" takes place today, that 0.01% of the year when the world pretends it wants to do something to prevent climate change by sitting around in the dark thinking about how boring and dangerous life would be if we did this all the time. Guilt assuaged, everyone then goes back to their normal, wasteful, carbon-driven lives for another year and puts the problem back at the bottom of the list.

Someday, perhaps, there will be an "Earth Eternity," but I doubt it.

Tim Blair counter-organizes a simultaneous hour of profligate power consumption each year to make up for it.

This is even more stupid. But we knew that at "Tim Blair."

A better analysis would be that Blair is here mocking the same thing that you are mocking.

Blair's difference elsewhere is that his position goes further, namely that that's all the left has.

That's actually a call for proof.
