Look, I’m pretty hip to things going on with the doomsday cult. I can’t see everything, but, Earth Hour is not something small or obscure. And yet it wasn’t showing up in the Credentialed Media on Saturday or earlier, nothing on Twitter, unlike years past. 10 years ago this idiotic worthless gesture would have been big news for days
Buckingham Palace goes dark for a special cause close to King Charles’ heart
Buckingham Palace went completely dark overnight for the milestone anniversary of a cause that has long been close to King Charles’ heart. The royal has dedicated much of his life to campaigning for the environment and being an advocate for climate action, which he put into practice on Saturday with a surprise 60-minute blackout at the palace for the global ‘Earth Hour’.
For 20 years, major landmarks and cities all around the world have shut off their lights for one hour in March to raise awareness for climate change. The World Wildlife Fund-organised movement first launched in 2007 in Sydney, Australia, and has since grown to include major buildings and landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben and Buckingham Palace.
A video posted by Instagram account @about.london showed the palace was shrouded in darkness on 28 March from 8.30 pm to 9.30 pm GMT to, as WWF described, “stand up for our planet alongside millions around the world”.
I’m pretty sure everyone is aware of ‘climate change’, but, fewer and fewer really care. Especially when you have Charles doing this after having used a massive amount of fossil fuels over the years, and his kids running around the world using a ton
Earth Hour: Monuments to go dark as 20th edition kicks off
The lights went out at landmarks across New Zealand on Saturday as the 20th edition of Earth Hour kicked off.
Earth Hour, which originated in Australia in 2006, encourages nations to turn off their lights for an hour in the evening to draw attention to climate change.
This includes everything from private homes, to restaurants and bars, to major world landmarks.
Among the first monuments to go dark at 8:30 p.m. local time were the Sky Tower in Auckland and New Zealand’s parliament building in Wellington.
And how’s that working out? Warmists turn the lights out for an hour, then go right back to their big energy ways. Warmists are not practicing what they preach. Maybe it’s time to ditch their foolishness, which highlights that Warmists can only do it for an hour a year.
“Currently, the climate crisis is repeatedly pushed into the background in light of the many global challenges. However, it doesn’t disappear. On the contrary, it exacerbates many of these crises,” said WWF Germany’s head of climate Viviane Raddatz.
“With Earth Hour, we are bringing climate action back into the public spotlight. We are making it visible. People care about this issue and it belongs at the very top of the political agenda,” she added.
Except, most people had no idea it was Saturday, because it wasn’t being covered. I suspect a lot of people were surprised, and maybe a bit concerned, when the lights went out at monuments and such around the world.
American Civil Liberties Union Legal Director Cecillia Wang has filed lawsuits challenging racial profiling, illegal arrests and mandatory detention for undocumented immigrants. But when she appears before the Supreme Court on Wednesday, she will be arguing against the Trump administration over a question that is fundamental not only to the nation but also to her own family.
In the Twin Cities, thousands of people converged on the State Capitol, invoking the memories of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Hundreds swarmed intersections around Portland, Ore., motivated by what one protester called a “national crisis” that has “escalated to a whole other level.” In Little Rock, Ark., where more than 2,000 people marched across the Arkansas River, one woman carried her own MAGA sign: “Morons Are Governing America.”
Parts of the U.S. may be emitting much more of one of the most potent greenhouse gases than previously thought, according to new research.
Citing fear of authoritarianism and invasive surveillance, California lawmakers voted this week to audit the operation of joint intelligence centers where federal, state, and local agencies share information.
Organizers and lawmakers gathered on the steps of the Alaska State Capitol on Thursday morning to rally in support of bills and funding to address climate change in Alaska.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Friday rejected a Senate-passed bill to fund much of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), but not immigration enforcement, instead proposing a stopgap to fund the entire department for eight weeks.
