Was there really any point to Earth Hour?

Question

Was there really any point to Earth Hour?

Answer 1

No, it was a complete waste of time ; tha same as banning plastic shopping bags. It makes people feel they are doing something to help the enviroment when, in actual fact, they are achieving nothing.

Nobody wants to take the hard decisions like driving smaller cars, using public transport or give up air conditioning.

We want other countries to make all the sacrifices but are not prepared to make any ourselves.

Answer 2

>Apart from making people feel better about themselves, no, there was very little point to it.

Answer 3

It was to raise awareness, and heck, it couldn't do any bad- if not doing any good.

Answer 4

It was supposed to help reduce carbon emissions.

But i dont think lighting heaps of candles in place would make a great difference, either way, they're still polluting the atmosphere.

Answer 5

Makes people feel better about themselves...like they're "doing their part" to help the environment.  It's a joke, basically...

Answer 6

There was no point for 'Earth Hour' whatsoever other than providing a way for some very misguided people to prove to others how really very proud they are of their ignorance and stupidity.

Answer 7

Yes to see how many people they think that they can control

Answer 8

It was pretty successful for its intended purpose.  I think the real problem is that worldwide the perception is that Americans are lazy, and so wedded to their self indulgent lifestyles they are indifferent to the human cost that buys it, or the future of reduced expectations they are mandating for the children of the whole human race.

Answer 9

No, just a stupid ******* fad used to support a lie based on scaring people from something all organisms breathe naturally (CO2).

It's like saying, "we need to hold a vigil for all the breathing going on"

Answer 10

It is an attempt to make ignorant people aware that the earth is in trouble, not fix the problem in one hour!

Answer 11

nope..... unless humans can return to prehistoric era, the damage's done and has been escalating

Answer 12

No.

Answer 13

No it's c**p invented by the usual,what's 1 hour a year gunna do?.

Answer 14

What 'Earth Hour'???

I certainly hope that schools aren't teaching our youth that this "Man-did-it" global warming stuff is true!!!  It's not right to brainwash our kids with such baseless nonsense!
