There is a lot of programs to resolve these issues. Most are supported by th UN. In addition, a lot of individuals and bussinesses in US, Erope, Australia and Asia are striving to combat those problem. Unfortunately, in the GCC and Middle East, governments as well as individuals and businesses have no time to support such initiatives. And if they did, it will be only for Media production...

Individuals like me and you have a great role to play in such issues. Let's just start "symbolic" and then I am sure soon we will have "effective progarms".

Just START by yourself FIRST!

There is a lot of politics behind it!

Its like saying help the poor man from starving...save your dinner for him. (Well can you as a fat man say this to the Poor Man who is already starving?)

This is what climate change is all about.

US is the highest per capita polluter...its amazing they are pointing their fingers at others ...without even solving the issue at home!!!

Its like a gulf country preaching about equality of women and woman's liberation/emancipation to USA.

It is So STARK yet we cant see it. Power of MEDIA.

And jack...there are documents to support any science notion out there....the trick is to be able to read the data...not the words. Statistics is a fun game

That isn't what I was stunned by.

Climate Change Agenda is more serious than Hitler's Nazi agenda.

That statement was shocking! And this event is about awareness....global warming or not, we are sucking the earth dry of its natural resources so anything to support mother nature....or Allah's creation (however you look at it) can't be a bad thing. From awareness spreads action

This is an attempt to completely stop Industrialization of the Developing countries.

Climate is dependent upon the Sun and not on mankind! Our forefathers knew it.

If Earthhour succeeds countries like China, India, Brazil, Pakistan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia etc will have to stop their industrial production. Middle east countries will have their oil production controlled and manipulated.

All this will favour the West . Their take is West will produce Asia & Arab countries can only consume and will have to be dependent on them.

West has realised that they have lost the game of Industrialization to the East as countries with cheaper labor will always produce cheaper goods.

Climate Change Agenda is more serious than Hitler's Nazi agenda.

I hope we can discuss about this when ever earthour is mentioned.

The Climate Change Agenda is full of lies and loopholes....

There was no Research on "Melting Himalayan Glaciers" yet they claim it to be so!!!

snowyowl ...I am surprised you have no problems ...when the so called "scientist" are producing fraud as evidence.

There was no Research on "Melting Himalayan Glaciers" yet they claim and elaborate on how fast it is receding...at such a speed that it will be nonexistent by 2035. (Its there in the link I gave above)

If you can believe that a "science document"...then I cannot reason with you!

Is that all? just to show a "symbolic" stance against global warming?

No programs to resolve it?

Anyway, thanks for posting
