Last night, a number of buildings, including the Empire State Building, plus numerous billboards in Times Square, went dark between 8:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. for Earth Hour, "to make a statement on the need for effective action on climate change." While some structures did go dim their lights, much of the city was still glowing. Well, it's a step—last year, New York City didn't even participate!

It's the same media that NEVER mentioned Muslims' hatred of Israel as a possible motive for 9/11.

And what, exactly, is turning the lights off on the Empire State Building for one hour supposed to accomplish?
It does not "make a statement on the need for effective action on climate change" -- and in any case such a statement is completely redundant, because everyone who wants to know about this issue has heard about it.
More posturing in front of the mirror -- that's what it amounts to.
Has anyone else noticed that the ESB has been shinning way past midnight for the last few weeks? I don't they have been turning it off until 2am lately. It used to go off at midnight on the dot.
This whole thing is really led by neo-luddites.
Celebrate Human Achievement Hour Instead.

I love empty gestures. Hands Across America, Anyone?
There mere fact that you remember that is justification enough for these "empty gestures".
For you, which says a lot, doen't it?
I'll be sure to clear all things I think of as empty gestures from my memory to avoid giving them any justification.
I actually tried to participate, though the reports I saw on NY1 and WNBC didn't say what hour it was!!!!!
