Earth Hour goes by like any hour
29 03 2009
No year was as prominent as this year when it comes to Earth Hour. We did the usual and shut the lights of in unity with the environment, even though I am ever so skeptical about the whole thing. I feel like its more symbolism than anything pertinent to the issue of global warming. I mean, if a couple of tree huggers shut the lights off (which is a miniscule part of the whole house’s energy) nothing will really happen. There are other methods to energy conservation, like taxing energy higher and uses the taxes for the betterment of the environment, but, of course, talking like this will raise the socialism flag and that doesn’t sit well with the suits. In any case, I look forward to the statistics this Earth Hour will bring forth.

Documentary: The 11th Hour
3 11 2008
This has been laying around here for a while now in its nice little environmentally-friendly cardboard package without getting played. I had a spare hour, so I played it and I was gripped from the beginning.
Narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio, this documentary does not wish to be provocative, it just lays down the scientific facts about global warming for you to dissect. The interviewees are not angry tree-huggers (although there is nothing wrong with that), they just explain the dire state our planet is on and the consequences that might unveil themselves in the near future if we don’t take care of this blue planet. These include independent researchers and famous names like Hawking.
This documentary doesn’t just list the things that are happening due to global warming, but it looks at climate change historically and as one affect rather than just a bunch of sordid events that include the Asian tsunami and Katrina. It singles out the human as the sole factor is this change. The exploitation of a planet that has been unrepentant about providing us with everything we need will suddenly go bankrupt, erasing millions of species with it and turning this thriving planet into an arid plane much live Venus.
