Earth hour participants – possible idiots?

I’d like to point out to the EA numpties that the amount of CO2 released by a candle is more CO2 than an electric light lumen for lumen (9.8x or so). To those who say “it’s symbolic and showing your support for the Earth” I’d like to respond with – yes and so is eating a cow to show support for people who would like the lamb industry stopped.

How about working on pollution, over fertilisation, over use of pesticides and stuff that actually matter. End of the day the this little blue ball is going to get cooked quite badly when our sun enters its red giant phase.
