Earth Hour: A Great Idea For The Wrong Reason

I recently heard about this thing called Earth Hour. On Saturday, March 28th, many people will be turning off their lights 8:30 to 9:30 PM. I think it could make for some cool satellite pictures, and the concept is pretty cool, except for one thing: the whole reason they are doing this, global warming. I'm sure you've guessed by now that I don't intend to turn off my lights then.
I've explained already that global warming was not the result of human actions. Besides that, plants flourish with more carbon dioxide in the air. Past warm periods have also been beneficial to humans as well. Just see my past in depth post: http://rationalityspeaks.blogspot.com/2008/06/global-warming-and-global-cooling.html

What about a see the stars, turn out the lights event! That would be fun! Just think about people in cities being able to see the stars, telling each other about the different constellations. People gathering around telescopes to check out the sky! Who's up for this type of event instead?
