HOUR UPDATE
As I noted in an update yesterday, Al "inconvenient truth" Gore didn't bother observing Earth Hour. The story has gotten a bit murky now. Originally it was reported that Al's house was powered by geothermal energy so it didn't have to be turned off (all the outside lighting of trees and such).
Now Al Gore's spokesman is claiming that he did turn the lights off:
Yet the same guy that exposed Gore's absurd hypocrisy in his home's grotesque energy consumption has time-stamped photos showing the lights clearly on and brilliantly lighting the mansion.
Who to believe? Personally I would be amazed if Al Gore even bothered thinking about turning the lights off. He's made it abundantly plain that his interest in global warming and ecology is a business interest and a way of gaining power and prestige, he doesn't give a crap about making changes himself unless forced to. He's exhibit A of the hypocritical left commanding everyone do what he will not to save the planet. So yeah. Gore had the lights on.
Do I care? Only in the sense that it is more proof of his arrogance and hypocrisy, typical of the AGW fanatic. Only that the entire exercise was so absurd and meaningless even their most prominent high priest ignored it.
Now Al Gore's spokesman is claiming that he did turn the lights off:
The Gores honored Earth Hour by shutting off the lights at their residence. The heating and air conditioning were turned off as well.This is the home that after being mocked for being grossly wasteful and polluting the Gores added solar panels and bought energy from their own alternate energy companies.

Yea, I caught that one about running the heat AND the air conditioning. I think that is wastefull consumption.
