Interesting how this is worded... "to show support for the cause of Climate change..."
Given that climate change is a completely natural cyclic state for our planet, and that artificially reducing our consumption of energy for 60 minutes would have a net zero effect on the planet, perhaps joining in this silly movement DOES support climate change. A lot of hot air being vented in support of a meaningless gesture.

As many of you might be aware that the world is celebrating Earth Hour on Saturday, March 31st 2012... On this day over 2 billion people from all around
the world will switch off lights at their homes and work places for one hour ie 8:30 PM -9:30 PM Local Time to show their support for the cause of Climate
change.

They actually tallied over 2 billion slips to confirm that number? Or is it just as much of a thumb suck as this whole idea.

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.

This is stupid, purely symbolic and wasteful of our natural recourses. Power plants cannot be turned off for one hour and they will not be turned off since the operators know full well that consumption will pick right back up again after the wasteful symbolic hour. During the hour of reduced consumption all the excess production is simply wasted. Typical of this kind of idea - does exactly the opposite of what it is supposedly trying to do.
What I plan to do during this hour: I will raise my clock rates, fire up additional AC and fire up all my spare cards at full capacity.
This is the most environmentally sound response to this stupid idea as it will utilize energy that would have otherwise been totally wasted.

That makes no sense, EskimoBob.
If you think you shouldn't mine because it's bad for the environment, just permanently turn off your rig. If you don't think it's a problem, keep your rig running through that hour.
