Be Sure to Turn Off Your Lights Tonight... Just Kidding

I'll be away from the keyboard today. We'll be celebrating a special occasion tonight, and I hope the restaurant won't be shutting off the lights at 8:30. Considering what Vancouver is like, I'm sure it will happen.

Have a good weekend!

As for Earth Hour, you can chew on this UN Global Warming Folly Scenario:

A United Nations document on "climate change" that will be distributed to a major environmental conclave next week envisions a huge reordering of the world economy, likely involving trillions of dollars in wealth transfer, millions of job losses and gains, new taxes, industrial relocations, new tariffs and subsidies and complicated payments for greenhouse gas abatement schemes and carbon taxes -- all under the supervision of the world body.

Those and other results are blandly discussed in a discreetly worded United Nations "information note" on potential consequences of the measures that industrialized countries will likely have to take to implement the Copenhagen Accord, the successor to the Kyoto Treaty, after it is negotiated and signed by December, 2009. The Obama administration has said it supports the treaty process if, in the words of a U. S. State Department spokesman, it can come up with an "effective framework" for dealing with global warming.
