  • Did Shepard Fairey do the art?

  • vote earth? what else am i going to vote

  • a weird way of putting it.

  • LOL this is fucking gay

    if u wanna make the environment better why dont u just park your car at home for 1 hour.

    Turning off lights is just gay and dont help the environment at all

  • @ajajaj2k4 it's symbolic? to get everyone thinking about how much power they use

  • @ajajaj2k4 Earth Hour is most to show your suporte to Earth, a bit symbolic. Did you say it didn't help at all? You really think as much power if you have a light turned on or off? And what the h*** is LOL about that? Get a mind.

  • It is a con. Type man made global warming is bullshit or lies or anything. Do a bit of research and see what conclusion you come to.

  • @fibbsabaddy oh please! look at all the research!! last week a piece of greenland larger than the size of manhattan broke off. temperatures have been steadily increasing in the last 150 years. if you researched actual credible sites LIKE the IPPC, who'd see it's very hard to argue against climate change. do something constructive and help our planet.

  • OMG thanks so much!

  • what song is thiss??

  • Fix you by Cold PLay

  • PROPAGANDA MACHINE

  • and here is 1 of the facts from the vid: of all of the articels saying that global warming is true they were all writen by real scientis, where all of the others that said global warming was false, were all done by the public press.

  • CLIMATEGATE

  • That is total bs my friend. The head of the IPPC resigned as he smelt the shit he was shuvelling 3 years back. The head of the weather channel is leading a conglomerate of well respected scientists against this media obsessed, profit making, tax swindelling scheme. Good on em.

  • i dont get how people believe that global warnming is a myth.

    w/in this last week i watched the short film of al gore powerpoint that he gives to cities all around the world, its called An Inconvenient Truth.

    It talks all about the event that r happening through global warming, and shows facts on how ice caps r melting, temps. of cities r rising, and so much more.

    if that vidoe doesnt change your mind about global warming i dont no what will!

  • CLIMATEGATE

  • I'll second that: CLIMATEGATE.

  • Watch The great global warming swindell. It destroys Al Gore (the man who let George Bush into power so he obviously loves the environment) easily. I believed in this until I did some research. Try it. You may like it.

  • Switching off for an hour shows solidarity. It also demonstrates that we can do without the excessive lighting we've become accustomed to. I've cut my everyday consumption down a lot since the first Earth hour. Actually, we had a lot of fun eating by candlelight, at riverside picnics, barbeques and so on.

  • It would be great if showed that solidarity against something relevant.....like greedy bankers. The earth has been colder and hotter and the hockey stick is bullshit science from information collected from whatever source that suits the elites propaganda. It is obviously a ploy to tax more and increase the scarcity of oil to control prices. Conspiracy is easy when all parties have a vested interest.

  • We should do this hour ever moon !

  • What program creates an animation like this?

  • when is the next earth hour?

  • @ntdnad March 26th 2011.

  • How do you vote for Global Warming, it's only 1 hour for year, is that so much?

    If I can do I will participate switching of my lights an entire day.

  • Your sentence was all wrong, boil your hands so that you cant type any more posts. You are a retard.

  • Global warming is a natural cycle. Just watch; eventually everyone will be panicking about global cooling.

  • global warming means climate change climate change could be anything form cooling to warming. no matter what, its bad.

  • The planet has always changed temprature.....somehow both it and living organisms have survived.

  • lol you believe in global warming, why do you think its real, because the TV says so? LMAO! Well so far there's no proof! just 20-30 years ago people thought the world was going to freeze over into another ice age. The earth is not melting its just the natural cycle.

  • watch my earth video

  • GLOBAL WARMING IS A LIE! INVENTED BY LEFTISTS! EARTH WARMErRAND COOLS ON IT OWN. READ BOOKS! In The Middle ages Temperatures were Higher then today!

  • Please watch our Earth Hour experience and comment on the video we appreciate it! - Koinonia Church (Cleremont, Florida)

  • nice ad concept and great poster design

  • the southern hemisphere has summer and then the process reverses.

    Our planet is marvelously balanced. I feel truly sorry for people who can't see that.

  • How can there be global warming w/o a global temp? All temps are local. An average is not a temp. You can have 100 in Chicago and -100 in Antarctica on the same day and get an average of 0, or you can have both places reading 0 on the same day. In both cases, the average would be 0, which would tell you nothing about reality. Does your thermostat run on the global avg? If not, then neither does the planet.

  • What drives weather? Basic grade school science:

    1. Distance of earth from the sun

    2. Tilt of the earth on its axis which affects the angle and intensity of the suns rays - this creates our seasons (Latitude determines what climatic zone one lives in)

    3. Orbit of the earth around the sun

    4. Rotation of the earth which makes for warming by day and cooling by night - this is what creates our winds and jet streams.

    The earth is never warm all over. When the northern hemisphere has winter

  • I turned all of my lights on. Stupid sheeple and their global warming.

  • Mother Fucker, you don't love earth, and 2 the pple that says that the Global Warming is fake, they are Fuckers, his mom do the sex with a dog, so your father is a dog, that's because u don't know anything. LOVE EARTH, PARTICIPATE ON EArTH HOUR 2010.

  • Honestly, your English is so crappy I can't understand what you are trying to say. Besides ad hominem attacks, do you have any real arguments to prove to me that global warming even exists?

  • The Katrina.

  • I assume that you mean Hurricane Katrina. If so, can you please explain how Hurricane Katrina was caused by people like myself not switching our lights off for one hour every year?

  • Because you are mother fuckers, U are an UFO, that's because u don't love earth.

  • LOL! I have no clue what that even means. I wouldn't say I "love" earth. I think the earth is necessary for our survival, and it is therefore important that we do not abuse it. I will not, however, buy into earth worship like many green fanatics (presumably such as yourself).

  • what a load of lies and deception about global warming again.

    this is not positive its negative becaus eit holds people in illusion! lets make that clear.

  • Was this this year? lol i didnt hear about it. too l8

  • We let ALL of our Lights of Freedom shine ON! So did all of our common sense neighbors (unplanned ... and in a very large neighborhood). There are sooo many ppl who are sick of the man-made global warming and/or climate HOAX & BS. SICK OF LIES perpetuated by the oh-so-compassionate UN, AlBore, eco-freaks, obama & gang, etc., etc....in order to enslave us ever more & more. And they COUNT on us swallowing all those lies like idiot sheeple.

  • You rule.

  • here here! truth out!

    we no longer have to be held in negative illusion!

  • IslandSpiceDreamin speaks the truth! Free your mind from the enslavement your "masters" would have you remain in.

  • All my lights off in my community! U guys are awesome. "save the world 1 light switch at a time"

  • I turned all my lights on!!!

  • Save the earth by Exposing the truth about alternative energy, and by exposing the fake Global warming movement. Find on google video: The Global Warming Swindle.

  • To clean up your community, do so every week...on a very large scale it becomes political...the politicians have yards of political, bureaucratic BS to get through that doesn't solve anything...but gives tax breaks for certain large companies...and this is my issue with big movements like the green movement. We can accomplish a lot on our own--on a community, city, state level...don't let DC stick their fingers in it...they will use "global" as a word to allow anyone, anywhere to do that.

  • I'll be leaving a light on for truth. Global warming is the biggest hoax out there. Its being used to scare us into paying carbon taxes. Carbon is a life substance. Plants breathe it. Don't be fooled.

  • I had my lights on all Saturday. I was gaming and watching soccer matches. I mean, it was a World Cup Qualifier day! And yeah Al Bore never bothers to turn off his lights. FUCK THE EARTH! The only green I want to see is nuclear. WEE HOOO!

  • I hope people took advantage of a neighborhood with it's lights off.

  • Al Gore did not vote with his light switch. It was too inconvenient.

    Al Gore's mansion uses 221,000 kilowatt hours of electricity every year - more than 20 times the national average.

    He couldn't even bother to turn off the floodlights illuminating his driveway and his trees.

  • BS!

    worthless al gore basher!

    AL GORE's HOME IS LEED GREEN CERTIFIED

    now suck on that OIL SUCKER

  • He uses 221,000 Kilowatts of electricity every year at his mansion alone. I will never buy a boat (like Gore did) and I will not fly around on private jets (like Gore does) because they are a waste of resources. You call me an "oil sucker" when I and my entire family could never even use as much energy in our entire lifetime as Al Gore uses in a month.

    Al Gore is a world class hypocrite and you appear very eager to be his apologist.

  • If this Global warming continues much longer were all gonna freeze! And last night i Turned on XTRA lights (5 300 watt bulbs). And the surge from all the lights turning back on is more than all the energy u save while turning the lights on! And this morning i had snow!

  • the surge from all the lights turning back on is more than all the energy u save while turning the lights on

    what the heck that doesnt make sense how can u save more energy from turning the lights on than trning the lights on

  • I voted for neither! I DIDNT KNOW SO SUCK IT!

  • EARTH HOUR ACTIVIST THREATENED - click on my name

  • Yeeeee Ertha hour!!! Osom!!!

  • are planet explodes in 2012 end of da story

  • Gosh, I hope that we get warmer in this planet within three- five years so the old- thinking, egocentric, industrialistic, no- good arsles get a lesson they never forget. and usually, when I wish something like this, IT HAPPENS! Last election I wished that Bush won, and he did and storms and floods came, and it all came true too! NOW I WISH THIS SO THAT WE CAN THINK MORE ENVIROMENTAL!

    I HATE RICH BASTARDS THAT DON'T EVEN STOP TO THINK ABOUT WHAT THEY CONSUME OR WHAT THEY SAY OR BUY!

  • You are one disturbed little child.

  • Excuse for msking be a old raisin...

    It's not my fault that you feel that way, I don't have anything to do with it...

  • good sheepel and now the US Government says tuch your toes

  • The start of the next Dark Age...

  • The Low Road by Marge Percy:

    part of The Low Road by Marge Piercy

    It goes on one at a time,

    it starts when you care

    to act, it starts when you do

    it again and they said no,

    it starts when you say We

    and know you who you mean, and each

    day you mean one more.

  • see my video response, i shut down the light and i recording one video ^^

    Antofagasta- Chile :)

  • Wich song is this?

  • I DESPERATELY WANT TO KNOW WHAT PROGRAM WAS USED TO DESIGN THIS AD.... I'm a graphic designer who uses vector art in Adobe CS3.......... Also, I turned my light out, albeit one lamp *tears*

    GO EARTH!!

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • FYI, Manila, Philippines 2008 Earth Hour saved 50 mega watts.

    Earth Hour 2009- Recorded a savings of 450 Mega watts of electricity.!! imagine how many tons of coal we saved from burning by just one hour. imagine how may tons of green house gases was not released? we can do this.!!

  • really craigcrammer what you said just shows how much of an ignoramus you are.

  • Comment removed

  • Earth hour is gay.

    Screw you global warming lemmings and your Malthusian masters.

  • What?

  • Anyone know the name of the music?

  • I have to know that too. The annoying thing is that I've heard it before and I probably have that song in my ipod... :/

  • It's ColdPlay - Fix you

  • Thanks i was going to ask the same question

  • People who turned their lights from 8:30 to 9:30 thanks!

  • I love it. fantastic idea! I sat in the dark. But, look into what is actually involved in this global warming thing. Reconsider it... research it.... and convince me that CO2 and "greenhouse gasses" are actually causing this.

  • save the world

  • I wasn't aloud to vote ,im not form this planet.

  • i did it...i feel great

    i did my part to save this world...it may not be enough but i tried!

  • This earth hour I ran over 10K watts of flood lights, Damn proud to be a part of it!

  • lol nerd

  • read a book. read an article. you are the problem.

  • Use your power as you wish, you are american citizens. Do not take any heed to any "global" vote, or movement. Most americans use their power intelligently on their own accord, and do not need to be told (by any international organization) what to do in order to protect mother Earth. Do not accept this type of rhetoric as the norm,  please I ask you as fellow american citizens, we must protect our sovereignty!!!!!!!

  • cheers!

  • Hopefully the earth will save us and send a tornado through DC.

  • Yay. I turned off my lights! :D

  • me too i need to save money.

  • I did it to save the earth.

  • how does it save the earth? im being for real, not sure what its for but im doing it lol.

  • It's not so much that turning off the light will save the world, it's more of a message that we want change, greener cars, businesses, energy.

  • "at least this is a voluntary thing where government isn't forcing regulation " I am sure many businesses are being "persuaded" in a very suggestive manner. I want to also tell you that this is extreme propaganda on a global level. I don't like this global socialist movement that is using "green" to appeal to people's emotions. When we start getting higher taxes on gas, cars, electricity, our animals our TVs, our water, by the politicians ("green movement") -will you stand up then? Please do.

  • Cool. I'm actually participating right now. Surfing on battery power, wi-fi running off of of solar-charged batteries.

  • Hey, ya know what, as much as I disagree with this whole global warming bullshit, at least this is a voluntary thing where government isn't forcing regulation or taxation upon its people; at least the people that turn their lights off are volunteering to do so. Bravo for the volunteering aspect vs. forcing government upon people.

  • If you want to turn off your lights, so be it...just be there when these slime bag politicians want to tax every aspect of life they feel isn't "green"...will you? Don't them continue to use the environment as a way to advance their agenda.

  • don't let the global government movement use thier propaganda. Leave your lights on. It is not a slippery slope to be aware that our money will be demanded for so-called "green" reasons--our cars, our water, our electricity, our gas, our air-conditioning, our farmers' cows--don't let these fascists continue to use emotional appeal and the word "green" for their political agenda...plant a tree. Clean up your dog's poop. do other things--but leave the lights on tonight.

  • While lots of people are bashing on earth hour, I am just going to say that I am going to do it :) I think it is amazing.

  • well yea then everyone will start looting and commiting crimes lol.

  • Nuclear plants generating all the electricity we need will free time for the earth-worshiping knuckleheads to come up with a bizillion more stupid 'concepts', which of course will be bigger and dumber than "Earth Hour".

    The Earth will pay back all your worship with tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis and drought.

    Tomorrow is "Sun Day". The Sun has agreed to use 70% less nuclear fusion tomorrow, so you'll need to use the energy you saved today to see how to plug in your iPod.

  • I actually had a tree hugging, libtard tell me that "Global warming is accelerating the next ice age".

    It is truly amazing how polarized these Earth worshiping weirdo's are.

  • How the hell is this going to make the slightest diference? 1 hour is suppose to save the planet after hundreds of years of pillaging the resources and polluting the oceans, not to mention that CO2 is yet to be proven to be the cause of "global warming" dont believe everything Al Gore says.

  • it's a idea,

  • Greetings to all in the dark!

    Much love from Dallas, Texas!

    Have my laptop running on battery.

    xoxo

  • they should make this about ENERGY CONSERVATION, not about SAVING THE PLANET.

    Conserving energy has nothing to do with saving the planet. I don't understand why people think this. I'll be keeping my lights on, not because I don't like living on earth, I just think there are better ways to raise awareness.

  • I voted earth! =]

  • ok.. hasn't anyone ever had any kind of earth science class? this planet goes through phases of warmer and cooler times. although i agree that we need to be careful how much pollution that we put out i don't think we are contributing to the changing climate anywhere near what these earth hour freaks are saying.

  • chiacgo, right now.

  • I love the song Fix You

    turned off all lights and nearly set the living room carpet alight with a candle :S

    me and my match skills (or lack of) =) have fun in the dark and don't try to pour a glass of juice...you might miss the cup and pour all over the table like I did XX

  • 1 minute til earth hour here in Texas. Thanks for making me aware. I have just turned all of my lights on. The 3 way bulbs are all being used in full force. Just to make some of you happy I did see an entire family sitting in the dark outside of their house on a street corner with no lights on by a stop sign. I almost ran into them. "While the earth remains seedtime and harvest, SUMMER AND WINTER..." Genesis 8 GOD. The earth and the climate are not going anywhere fools.

  • LOL! Enjoy the higher electricity bill.

  • I would have never known this or done this if it wasn't for the publicy and all your morons talking about earth hour. The 1 hour that I am turning my extra lights on is to help our local economy with the extra 36 cents that I will be paying the electric company. You see I now feel good about myself to because I really believe that I am making a difference. So now we are all one big happy world . Let's all sing "We are the world...we are the children....there's a choice were making..."

  • Hahaha well I think there's more people turning their lights off than on. I know the vast majority of my campus and the surrounding buildings had their lights off.

    Scientists say the Earth is warming. There's no doubt about that. But it's your choice to be in denial, especially when so many experts have tested it and made their conclusion. Just know that it's a stupid one.

  • .both partys are against US Citizens rights.Timothy Geithner unveiled his Public-Private Investment Program (PPIP) on March 23, the latest in a growing alphabet soup of handouts topping $12.5 trillion and counting.

    Obama is going to make us all Millionaires = Hyperinflation see Video> Obama Deception ----Pay Your Carbon TAX to world banksters is HOAX

  • Um gee thanks I knew that already. That's why I'm Libertarian.

  • "Scientists say the Earth is warming. There's no doubt about that."

    1. Which scientists? Are you familiar with the name Heidi Cullen, of the Weather Channel who advocates that the AMS withdraw accreditation to any meteorologist who denies global warming? Cullen's call for decertification by the AMS can only serve to intimidate skeptics and further chill free speech in the scientific community.

    2. "No doubt" is a phrase that covers a LOT of territory but is self-evidently disproven.

  • When I say "no doubt", I mean extremely little doubt between REPUTABLE scientists. Of course there's always going to be those few whack jobs who come up with outlandish hypotheses.

  • And what in your opinion defines a "reputable scientist?" Freeman Dyson?

    Google "The Civil Heretic" in the New York times and see for yourself.

  • One other thing...back in the 70's and even into the 90's these wonderful scientists were predicting global cooling. They finally got one of their theories to stick when Environmental Evangelist Al Gore came along with the dim witted people at the UN. Which one is it global warming or cooling? Depends on what year it is, what is popular and what can spread fear and alarm into the most people.

  • Theres more people on your campus doing so because most colleges already follow the liberal mindset and have already started brainwashing 18 year olds like yourself. Based on your ambitions hopefully you will one day be able to see the truth in this matter. As others have already said not all scientists agree and just because you are a scientist it doesn't necessarity make you right. Theory does not = truth. There are a lot of politics and money changing hands in the process. Good luck to you.

  • LOL! Liberal mindset? I'm a Libertarian, thank you, and so are most of my teachers. Shows what you know.

    I didn't say that being a scientist meant that you're always right. But when there's an overwhelming majority, along with facts to support that hypothesis, chances are it's correct. Whether the climate is changing because of human activity or not, I still believe that energy conservation is important.

  • A proud Liberatarian...maybe by name but your basic ideologies are more that of being more to the left. Did you vote for Bob Barr or The Obamanation? Any Liberatarian I've ever heard sounds nothing like your beliefs.

  • My beliefs? And what is so non-Libertarian about my beliefs? Do you even know what my beliefs are? Or are you basing your entire assumption on my wanting to conserve energy?

    Sadly, I didn't vote in the election due to the personal difficulty in obtaining a state-issued photo identification. But if I was able to receive one, I certainly would not have voted for Obama.

  • Theory may not equal truth, but the scientific meaning of theory is a lot different than the traditional use. A scientific theory is based off of a number of observations and is backed up by empirical evidence. It may not be truth, but it's close enough to it that it should be accepted until proven wrong.

  • Wow...you are very smart. Yeah...I think the peace corp would be good for you...or maybe the marine corp.

  • LOL! You're right, I do need to remove that. No way would I participate in that government-sponsored garbage.

  • Okay so maybe I was too hard on you. I'll give you some credit. I clicked on to read about you. Thanks for your phone number too. I appreciate it. So you wouldn't vote for Obama....check. You've actually made several comments towards me and others without them being laced with profanity...check again. I wish you well in college and the peace corp.

  • Wait this could of been easier if the time would be to turn off all lights when everyone's sleeping, it should of been at 2o clock or 3 o clock or something like that plus with lights out won't bad people go into your house cuz you won't even see them? though any way wat da heck i'll turn off my lights.

  • Im defently doing it!

  • My dad thinks that Earth hour will be bad for the Earth, because he thinks it will cause "an electrical surge". He thinks this because he saw this on Fox news...LOL XD.

    But I think that is incorrect, so I shut of all the lights. I used a flashlight to read for one hour. (:

  • Once youve turned out your lights, please make your way to the church of Gore....you will find some delicous kool aid to drink.

  • For earth day, I turned all the lights and appliances on. I put the AC and the furnace both on to fight it out. I left my car running in the driveway all day and threw recyclables in the regular garbage. I ate beans and farted myself unconscious with methane.

    Fuck the eco-idiots and the man-made global warming bullshit.

  • People like you should never comment in these kind of topics, only fully evolved humans should, not a "Homo-Erectus" like you.

  • my earth hour will start soon!

  • Enjoy the higher electricity bill moron.

  • my family was sitting in the livingroom and my siblings were listening to me and my mom singing and after that we all played the silent-game^^ But it was really really dark XD

  • the fossil fuel industry's DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN IS THE SCAM!! lol

    wake up!

    u need to turn ON your lightbulb! (brain)

    if u have one hahhaahah!

  • Im turning on every single thing that uses electricity in my house as a big FUCK YOU to every one who belives this global warming crap.

  • Our planet is in a warming trend. Enjoy the higher electricity bill, moron.

  • Our planet is in a cooling trend, which will be harder to deal with if it gets severe.

  • No it's not; global temperature is warming. I'm a biology major; we've discussed it in all of my classes.

  • Taking into account the Russian weather stations that have not been maintaned?

  • Certain areas seem to be getting cooler, but the planet as a whole is becoming warmer.

  • No, what I'm referring to is that the weather stations in Siberia since the fall of the USSR had not been maintained, leading to fallacious or absent readings. If you take out one of the coldest areas on earth, there will of course be a strong warming trend shown since 1992. 15,000 weather stations in 1970 have been reduced to 5000 in 2000.

  • There is no doubt among scientists that our climate is changing (becoming warmer). There is debate on whether humans are the cause and if the changes are reversible/stoppable, but most are leaning towards the hypothesis that humans are the cause.

    Global carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) levels are also increasing.

  • no it isn't

  • earthhour is going on now and my light is on. what am i supposed to do sitting in the dark 4 an hour?

  • Global warming is a scam! Besides, the earth is going into a cooling trend.

  • wow your really really really really stupid

  • Kid, you are one of many brainwashed morons whom are unable to think for your self. So, did your teacher show you Gore's movie? Funny how Gore made this movie and goes around giving speeches on it, but won't debate the issue. So if global warming is not a scam, then how is cap and trade going to help? If global warming is not about scaring people so that governments can impose new taxes, then how is cap and trade going to fix it? It's not, because it is the biggest tax in history!

  • :] Earth hour all the way!

    btw whats the music in the back ground?

  • "fix you" by coldplay
