15 Patients Die During Earth Hour

Good job, Climahysterics. See what your silly “turn your lights off for an hour on a Saturday night” stunt has wrought?

Fifteen patients on life support and in surgery died at San Francisco General Hospital when power was cut for “Earth hour” on Saturday.

The hospital was pleased with their participation in the worldwide celebration of the planet. “We asked all the patients and their families if they were all right with us cutting the power. To a person, they all said as stewards of this planet it was their duty to observe Earth Hour. They knew the risks and were willing to take it,” said hospital administrator Lawrence Cho.

Cho said that it was a net gain for planet Earth, despite the deaths. “The dead patients will no longer use any energy, and actually will be turned into energy in our patient incinerator,” said hospital administrator Lawrence Cho.

Thanks, True Believers. Are you proud of your little stunt? Are you proud of yourselves? I bet you are.

It may be a spoof but things like that scare the hell out of people that don’t understand that it’s a joke.Not funny at all.

Well, I was hoping people would click those last links, Mike.

Just satire, Nursing Care. But, give it time. Once the true AGW legislation passes, power ill be in short supply.

It’s not that people don’t think Teach can be fantastically sarcastic, it’s that they could very easily believe that the morons in San Fran would be inclined to do something as stupid as that, in the name of liberalism and Global Warming!
