It's funny that noone got the point, or so it seems. This wasn't merely turning off the lights for one hour to "prevent global warming" or something like that. The point was to attract attention to global warming. For example, Turkey hasn't signed the Kyoto Protocol yet, and the fellows here thought that this was a good idea to show the government that people want them to sign it.
I'm not saying that this was a brilliant idea or whatsoever, it would be a different discussion. However, I am amazed that the whole point of this act has gone unnoticed.

Pretty sure it's supposed to be symbolic. We don't need to deny ourselves of stuff to beat global warming.
=p Ativan beat me to it.

Yah and so on and such. I live in the US and it needs some prodding.

From where I am, I hear about global warming everyday on the news, though I'm not sure about other parts of the world, it seems pretty much covered and known in my part to say the least. There are better ways to promote the cause in my opinion. IE. protests outside a Turkish embassy.
I think the lack of media coverage might be from everyone being so tired and used to global warming events that try to get it attention. At first they were pretty good, later they've grown in number but also in mediocrity as most people try to set their own events in motion half assedly. Perhaps the few good ones would be taken more seriously if there weren't so many SUVs parked outside in the lots of those events.
I'm not planning to turn off my lights today, the move to do so seems to me "tainted" with hypocrisy. Some people that partake in these events claim they are against global warming, yet don't ease off a little on the luxuries that are damaging the things they say they support.
I think if the people who organize these things really wanted to further their cause, it'd be wiser to pick something else that won't let people clear their conscience from the guilt they've been building in the media for a while now.
**** that, I'd rather we go out fighting a hugely devastating and miserable inter-galactic war than a weather fluctuation.
Can we just use our nukes instead? For all the money we spend building, maintaining, and providing good housing for them, I expect some bang for my tax buck.

Don't try googling your name, no?

Where did you get your data?

Indeed, global warming has gotten to the point where everything is about it. School, work, television, colourful wristbands (made out of oil; great logic there 
), and even t'internet are now covered with adverts trying to get people to use less energy, to stay at home and act as if you lived in the 18th century.
Somehow, I doubt global warming will have much of an effect on the planet, if it can survive a post-asteroid nuclear winter.

And what exactly will that achieve? (oh, and how is that even possible)
