The facts:
The biggest co2 makers:

1. The Oceans
2. The Autumn Leaves
3. Animal Biomass (150 Giga Tonnes of co2)
3. Volcanoes
LAST 4. human technology (6.5 Giga Tonnes of co2)

if you think just turning off some lights will help the earth from changing, then you are sadly mistaken. Take a look at the global warming charts again and this time place the two lines/curves together you'll see that co2 follows tempreture. The trend is the other way round.

I don't really want to start this conversation all over again (I think we had it about a year ago) but even if you might (might!!!) be correct your arguments are poor. There aren't any more cyclones than before, but they are stronger (and will get even stronger over the years). Of course the earth has been changing a lot, that doesn't mean we can't make a difference. 3 Animal biomass, I'm not sure what that is but we are breeding a lot of animals... And lastly, if it was as simple as putting two charts together, shouldn't the whole theory has been put too sleep by now?

Turning off lights for an hours won't change anything, turn off your lights for a whole day won't do shit. If anybody thought that they are sadly mistaken, it should be used and seen as a sign, taking a stand. Time to sleep.
