… through somewhat perceptable dimming.
While downtown [Sydney, Australia] was significantly darker than normal, the overall effect, as seen in television footage from overhead helicopters, was that the city’s patchwork of millions of tiny lights had thinned, not disappeared.
“We were expecting a big difference straight away, but it was just a little bit,” said Sonja Schollen…
Well, if the “after” picture doesn’t fit the story, let’s just crank up the “before”!

“Australia, a nation of around 21 million people, is ranked as the world’s worst greenhouse gas emitter per capita, largely because of its heavy reliance on coal-fired power stations.”
Hey wait-a-minute, isn’t that S.D’s assertion of Canada for the rationale to Key-o-toe?
Aren’t we No.1 in GHG? Who’s telling the “Truth”?
Linear with the carbon/energy/GW hysteria cult….if fact does not support the theory change the facts.
Man do the hucksters, fraudsters and moonies gravitate to these hysterical green causes like flies to coon poot.
From where the pictures were taken the only major difference is the lights are off around Circular Quay and the Opera House.
Cool!
Literally and figuratively…can you feel it?

See the way the eco-freak and AL GORE were blabbering you would think that the USA was the world biggist poluter but in the big run this whole global warming is a froad and a hoax carried out by unscrulpous underhanded scoundrels and AL GORE is the biggist scoundrel around
All I can say is if we follow the lead of the fradsters in this gig, to cool the planet and avoid the crisis all we need to do is open up our F stops and make times exposures at night ;-0
Least we can do to save the planet.
I defrosted the freezer today and threw all the ice outside. Will that help. Did anyone see or hear gore last week. I read he would not allow the press in where he was speaking. Guess he is afraid of hearing the truth.

Nooooo!!!!!!!!. As soon as the ice melts you’ll flood Tuvalu and a few other Pacific atolls!
I kinda wonder what happened to the crime rate during that hour.
Western Canadian: ” … off around Circular Quay and the Opera House”
The biggest difference was turning the lights off at The Rocks … which, BTW, is the best place in the world to enjoy Sydney rock oysters and beers.
I tried to get a global warming zealot to watch the doc The Great Global Warming Swindle on youtube. But this supposedly educated reasoning person refused to even examine the evidence he just kept spouting al gore and that if it came off the internet it was all lies.At this point I realized they don’t want the truth they want their version which has reached a religous ferver and if I don’t agree then I must be in BIG OILS pocket. TWITS
what nonsense
The same bunch of half-wits who say AL GORE is right and that there is GLOBAL WARMING are probibly the same fools who think they get the truth from reading THE WEEKLY WORLD NEWS or THE NEW YORK TIMES
