Please pass this around. It's a French initiative that is just arriving in North America: The 1st of February 2007:
Participate in the biggest mobilization of Citizens Against Global Warming!
The Alliance for the Planet [a group of environmental associations] is calling on all citizens to create 5 minutes of electrical rest for the planet. [url]http://www.lalliance.fr[url] People all over the world should turn off their lights and electrical appliances on the first of February 2007, between 1.55 pm and 2.00 pm in New York, 18.55 for London, and 19.55 for Paris, Bruxelles, and Italy. 1.55pm in Ottawa, 10.55am on the Pacific Coast of North America.
This is not just about saving 5 minutes worth of electricity; this is about getting the attention of the media, politicians, and ourselves. Five minutes of electrical down time for the planet: this does not take long, and costs nothing, and will show all political leaders that global warming is an issue that needs to come first and foremost in political debate.
Why February 1? This is the day when the new UN report on global climate change will come out in Paris. This event affects us all, involves us all, and provides an occasion to show how important an issue global warming is to us. If we all participate, this action can have real media and political weight. Please circulate this call to your utmost ability to your network.

To Bad no humans were on the planet during the last major catastrophic global warming, they could have done something similar.

I believe in global warming but I don't believe we are the cause of it.

This is truly a testimonial to the vanity of mankind and the French in particular.There is no doubt that man has contributed to hastening the advent of the next ice-age,albeit mini or great.Oh I forgot the catchphrase is "global warming". To even think that this process could be stopped by ceasing the burning of any carbon based fuel by man,is ludicrous. This crisis has been a pet hobby of mine and there is no doubt that it has turned into a politically correct football.Ice-ages have happened cyclicly throughout recorded and forensically investigated history and will no doubt continue,long after the last human has died.Sorry if this response is unpopular,but regardless of any big or cottage industries created by this,global warming will and would have happened,with or without human caused pollutants. Maybe a little later,but still,it will happen.
