There aren't many things about my country that don't make me proud to be a citizen. Australian doctors have made ground breaking medical discoveries; several Australians have won Nobel Prizes; and Australian men and women excel in sport, the arts, film, music and science. There's nothing about Australia that could make me feel shame... Oh, wait, there is Earth Hour.
What is Earth Hour?
Earth Hour is a crock of shit thought up by the Left Wing newspaper Sydney Morning Herald, and the World Wildlife Fund, an organisation that has been hijacked by militant Greens.
What happens during Earth Hour?
Hippies, Greens, Hipsters, guilt ridden suburban trendies and naive teenage girls all turn off their lights, TVs, computers and other electrical devices. A lot of people light candles - which really defeats the purpose, doesn't it - I mean it is supposed to be a sacrifice. If environmentalists and conservationists substitute candles for electricity they aren't really feeling the pain of the sacrifice, are they.
And I should point out that candles are made from a crude oil, fossil fuel base that emits carbon dioxide when burnt.
Has Earth Hour acheived anything?
Yes. It's contributed to the feeling of smug self satisfaction among celebrities and concrete conservationists. And I'm sure it hasn't done any damage to Al Gore's over blown, over grown ego.
So late next month, when all is dark and quiet, I will be leaving as many lights and appliances on as I want.
Climate Change is a scientific myth invented to restrict third world development. It is a political ideology disguised as environmental concern.
An empty, symbolic gesture to save a planet that doesn't need saving?
Ha ha ha.
