Earth Hour. Stupid.
This post is bound to upset a lot of people, so if you are somehow supportive of Earth Hour, please do me a favour and DON'T READ THIS! IF YOU STILL INTEND TO CONTINUE READING, AND GET OFFENDED, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN WHATSOEVER!
Anyways, to start off my post on a positive note:
To the people who "celebrate" Earth Hour, you people are morons!
Who the hell "celebrates" Earth Hour anyways??? What is there to celebrate? I can understand if it's something like a New Year or Merdeka countdown or something. But what the hell is an "Earth Hour"? It's an hour where you switch off the lights, and end up stumbling around in the dark. And the cause? TO CREATE AWARENESS ON GLOBAL WARMING, AND TO "VOTE" FOR EARTH AGAINST GLOBAL WARMING!
OMFG! This is gonna be a long post, and I am ready for a fucking rant!
Since we all gotta turn off the lights, what is the other alternative for a light source during this one hour? That's right! Candles!
(POINT 1) Now, if I remember correctly, you have to burn the wicks on those candles in order to produce light. If you have any basic knowledge on science, you would know that burning produces Carbon Dioxide (CO2), and a shitload of other fumes and gases, depending on the substance burned. (Click here for proof)
Which brings me to another point...
(POINT 2) Carbon Dioxide is one of the main greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases give rise to the Greenhouse Effect. And the Greenhouse Effect is synonymous to, oh gee... I dunno... GLOBAL WARMING, MAYBE??? (Click here for proof)
Holy shit! I just effectively destroyed your motive or even being part of the Earth Hour in the first place! This is when some of you will try and make a counter-statement by saying "But Leon! It's only a candle! How much greenhouse gases can it emit to the air?". My answer to you? Pretty much, I can say. Assuming that we use 1 candle per house, that alone could not lead to much pollution. Problem is, people who are "celebrating" Earth Hour are lighting 2 - 3 candles per person on average! (This is just a rough estimation, based on what i observed in a few blogs). And let's not forget the pollution contributed by the people who "celebrate" by holding barbecues!
Other forms of greenhouse gas emission that people do not take into account are the vehicles still running during the hour, the power generators that are kept on to keep multi-million dollar companies from going bankrupt, the power supplied to the street lamps and traffic lights, the power supplied to hospitals to make sure the patients live, as well as the power supplied to airports to ensure their planes do not crash and burn, and not to mention, every breath you take! All these factors contributing to the release of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, directly and indirectly! And these are the factors that I could think of! What about the other factors that I have missed out?
So, since the power generators aren't shut down anyways, because one hour without lights would mean a great loss in profits for some companies, we can safely assume that the total greenhouse gas emission remains the same, whether you turn off your lights or not. Now, by lighting those candles and barbecues, you are directly responsible for releasing even more carbon dioxide into the air, compared to that where the lights are switched on normally. You have contributed to GLOBAL WARMING, when your original goal for participating in the Earth Hour is the stop global warming! How do you live with yourself????????
Owh, and speaking about celebrating, some shopping centres held performances after the Earth Hour to commemorate the 1 hour which thay so valiantly passed. Performances on brightly lit stages... increasing the volume of greenhouse gases emitted to the atmosphere! Affectively destroying their mission in the first place! Morons!
Of all the things that can be done during the Earth Hour, the stupidest thing that people could possibly do is to "celebrate" it with a bunch of friends. All these pompous morons, bragging about their good cause in saving Mother Nature! But somehow, deep down inside, they know they don't give a shit about Mother Nature, or the Earth Hour, for that matter! They're just using this as another reason to hang out with their friends in a gathering with a romantic ambience of darkness and candles! Hypocrites! So, unless they are having an orgy, I can't find anything productive for a bunch of groupies to hang around for an hour doing NOTHING!
I can't wait to see tomorrow's paper! I'm trying to guess how many break-ins and muggings that must have occured during the absence of light for an hour! Not to mention the number of people that will be injured in the process! My personal opinion? Programmes such as the Earth Hour programme are only suitable to be conducted in countries that are facing a shortage of Mat Rempits.
"But Leon! Not all Mat Rempits rob people!"
WELL, NOT ALL MAT REMPITS DON'T ROB PEOPLE EITHER! When was the last time a Mat Rempit did anything for you? If I were to head the Earth Hour project, I would have changed it into something like this:
Mow-Down-A-Mat-Rempit Hour! Do your part for the community by running down as many Mat Rempits as you can!
Can't you see the advantages of this programme? One Mat Rempit mowed down means One Mat Rempit less on the roads causing traffic accidents or terrorizing our community! As an added bonus, the Mat Rempit's putrifying carcass can be used to make fertilizer! Fuck the Mat Rempits! Save the Trees! To top it all off, metal is expensive, so we can recycle their wrecked motorcycle to make way for resources, earning ourselves a small income in the process! This world wll be Mat Rempit-free in no time!
But unfortunately, we all have to stick to the usual procedure of Mat Rempits either killing someone for their belongings, or getting themselves killed in a freak motorcycle stunt... Guess we don't have much of a choice but to stick with the Earth Hour for now.
At this point, many of you are shouting curses at me, saying:
"Leon, you bloody hypocrite! You talk about how shitty the Earth Hour is, but what about you? What have you done for Mother Nature?!"
Absolutely nothing! But at least I don't go around pretending like I give a shit about Earth! An hour without lights is no problem, and frankly speaking, I spent an hour without lights as well. But it really irritates me to see so many idiots singing in self-praise all over Facebook on their "achievements" of turning off their lights for an hour in an attempt to stop Global Warming. Go to hell! An hour does nothing to stop global warming! Read this post again if you are not convinced.
What irritates me even further is the Earth Hour is actually some conspiracy shit! Why the hell do we need people to "VOTE" for Earth over Global Warming, when everybody knows pretty well that global warming is bad. Why even bother going through with the Earth Hour in the first place??? Why not just implement the measures required to curb global warming??????
I'll tell you why!
Because life has been too convenient! Too fucking convenient for everyone! All the luxuries and conviniences, at the expense of our environment. We humans are too selfish to give up these luxuries! I would love to see how all you pretentious cocksuckers would react when the objective of the Earth Hour pulls through, and measures are taken to counter global warming. Measures that may require you to give up part or all of your luxuries!
This is only and Earth Hour, so an hour might not seem like much of a sacrifice...
But what if there was an Earth Day? Or an Earth Week? Or an Earth Month?
Now my question to you is will you be able to accept that for the good of our environment?
Imagine if new rules are passed out, such as:
~ 10 hours of electricity a day per building
~ Limited to only 1 car per family
~ You are only limited to only 50 litres of fuel per month
~ Minimal or no use of air-conditioning systems
These rules may seem a little extreme, but at the rate we're polluting the environment, one day it'll boil down to this.
Will you be able to live with that for the greater good of the planet?
I know all of you will answer 'yes' to that question for the sake of winning the argument and making me look like an idiot. But you know you can't lie to yourselves! You cocksuckers have taken these conveniences for granted! You don't want your current luxurios life to be taken away! You enjoy every moment of it!
So since you're enjoying it so much, STOP BEING A PRETENTIOUS FAGGOT! Your participation in Earth Hour is nothing worth bragging about! You turned off the lights for an hour? Big stroking deal! I turn off my lights every night for at least 5 hours, and you don't see me making a scene out of it! Go to hell already, dammit!
Trust me, I can rant on and on and on, but I need to catch some sleep now... So, on a final note, The idea of the Earth Hour is, no doubt, an effort to help the environment. But it is nothing worth bragging about or "celebrating"! It really bugs me that people are actually taking credit for themselves just because they turned off the lights for an hour... Maybe it would have been better if that one hour was used to create awareness on how pretentious people can be, and act as if they aren't...
And thus, I end the 274th chapter of The Fairytale Of Shattered Tears!
Au revoir!
