Planet Noticeably Cooler During Earth
Hour
PASADENA, CA - Scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory
released data today indicating an unmistakable cooling trend during 'Earth
Hour'. The event, in which citizens voluntarily shut off unnecessary lights and
appliances for one hour, was held to raise awareness of global climate change.
Scientists say the event was so successful that temperatures were noticeably
cooler during the event than even a mere six hours
before.
Participants in Earth Hour were asked to turn off unused
electrical equipment from 8:30 to 9:30 PM local time. Climate experts say the
temperature difference from readings taken earlier in the day were dramatic.
"Obviously, this mass effort had a huge impact on the planet's climate." said
George Driggers, Executive Director of the Analytical Climatological Statistics
Project at JPL. "Average temperatures plummeted 0.03 degrees, and some areas
experienced drops of nearly 0.05."
Event organizers plan to expand on the success of this year's
experiment. "We hope that within five years we can extend the event to an hour
and forty-five minutes." said Tiffany Ogden-Neers, President of the Blowing Oaks
Subdivision's Earth Hour Oversight Committee. "It's a huge sacrifice, but it's
worth it to prevent the destruction of all life on Earth."
Some lawmakers propose making some portions of the Earth Hour
concept mandatory. "I plan to introduce legislation requiring each household to
turn off at least one light for at least one hour per day." said California
Senator Barbara Boxer. "It's imperative that all Americans participate in this
noble cause. That's why I'm proposing immediate funding for subsidies to the
poor and the homeless who may not have lights, so they may participate as well,
our President's next stimulus plan will have $650 million for the poor so
the can purchase lights to use in next year's Earth Hour."
IT is SATIRE people!
When satire can easily pass for
truth? Is when a nation is run by leftists nuts!
