#1 Turning out the lights when you leave a room would probably result in a bigger energy saving than any Earth Hour activities. As for a candlelit dinner, did they thing about the CO2 and smog problems that entails?

#2 The best contribution the ~~Chicken Littles~~ fanatics could do is slit their own throats* so as not to consume anything more or bother the rest of us with their faux lemming morality.

* Don't do the car in the garage routine cause, you know, that'll just dump more pollutants into the atmosphere.

#3 "It is very difficult to get people to invest in home insulation and energy efficiency, which are much more effective than putting solar panels on your roof,"

I know. Let's try raising fuel prices!

#4 "spur schoolchildren to start family conversations about what they have learned about climate change"

Children would NOT want to start that conversation with me, lest they find out how badly their teachers have lied to them.

Hmmmm. On second thought....

#6 There's the problem - its INDOCTRINATION, not EDUCATION.

The whole mindless AGW crowd is pushing totalinarianism in a green mask, dmanding faith and allegience, and ignoring the REAL inconveinient trueth: Anthropogenic Global Warming DOES NOT EXIST. It has not been proven, and there isn't even a consensus amongst scientists, there never was unless you cherrypicked.
