Earth Hour is being organized by the international non-profit WWF (stands for World Wildlife Fund, not World Wrestling Federation), which hopes that one billion people in more than 1,000 cities will turn out their lights for an hour this evening -- creating a wave of evening darkness around the globe. "Two years ago, Earth Hour began in one city, in one country, when more than 2.2 million households and businesses in Sydney turned off their lights for one hour," according to a WWF statement. "Last year, Earth Hour reached 370 cities and towns in more than 35 countries across 18 time zones."

Top 50 Things To Do To Stop Global Warming Global Warming is a dramatically urgent and serious problem. We don't need to wait for governments to find a solution for this problem: each individual can bring an important help adopting a more responsible lifestyle: starting from little, everyday things.

3.7 tonnes of CO2 will offset 1 Person flying from London to Sydney (Australia) and back. This can be done by planting 5 trees! 850 pounds is the same as 386.4 kgCO2 (0.3864 tonnes CO2). This is the equivalent of an average UK house’s electricity, gas, coal and oil usage for 2 weeks! Insulating your home by adding hot water tank lagging to your home’s hot water tank will save 150 kgCO2 per year. This is equivalent to a one way flight from London to Barcelona. About 10% of all electricity used in UK homes is consumed by electronic items left on standby. By switching appliances off standby 150 kgCO2 per year can be saved. A PC monitor switched off over night saves enough energy to microwave 6 dinners! Switching off the lights when not in the room saves 30 kgCO2 per year. Lighting an office overnight wastes enough energy to heat water for 1000 cups of tea! Turning down your thermostat by 1 degree can save as much as 10% off electricity bills, 300 kgCO2 per year. This is equivalent...

What is global warming? Here we discuss the science of global warming, its causes and effects, and why it is one of humanity's biggest challenges. Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice and rising global average sea level. IPCC Climate Change 2007 Report Global warming is quite a recent phenomenon that came to international prominence only by the end of the 20th century. But man-made pollution was known to affect the climate system of the planet as long ago as the middle – end of the 19th century. It was first suggested in 1863 that changes in the composition of the atmosphere due to pollution could lead to climate change. In 1896 the Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius made first actual calculations of the effect of greenhouse warming in which he estimated that a doubling of carbon dioxide [in the atmosphere] would increase the global avera...

“Climate Change is undoubtedly and regrettably, the biggest immediate long-term environmental challenge we face. A failure to come to sound policy outcomes on climate change will not only have a negative environmental impact but also social and economic consequences for all of us. Stand up and join us in the fight against climate change. Support Earth Hour.” - Aamir Khan, Noted bollywood actor & filmmaker What you waiting for? Join us
