surely switching to energy saving bulbs is an easier alternative which makes more of an impact?]]></description>

Of course not, I'm taking into account the media fudge factor. Its quite honestly the one subject I don't really have an opinion on. ;)]]></description>

He didn't say the concept was wrong, he said that the estimates could be miles off, which is more often than not admitted by the scientists themselves.

Did you read mine? I didn't say you didn't say do nothing at all, plz 2 read post next time lol!

People saying "this won't fix it, there's no point even trying" does not help. While something like this doesn't ACTUALLY save any significant amount of power (to respond to skyride...), it's a symbolic action designed to raise awareness of the issue.

    	    <description><![CDATA[Well hmm... lets see.

To stop global warming (assuming all guesses are right which they probably aren't... being just educated guesses and all), we need to cut our energy usage by 50%. Doing this, cuts 0.01% of the energy used just by your lights per year.

Not quite going to cut it.

We need new sources of power, not stuff like this. Infact its counter-productive as it lul's people into a sense of false security.

Still, Candle-lit dinners are nice. :)]]></description>
