Earth Hour Today

Earth hour - Remember 
Today - 27th March 
Please Turn your lights OFF from 2030 to 2130 
For this Earth on which we live

This picture is from Day and Night World Map as at 8 in the morning UTC (was GMT), 10 in the morning here.

I wonder how many of you read the recent 'rant' Becoming Better Gardeners???  about geoengineering. Geoengineering is truly terrifying. Science fiction as fact is stranger than fiction. Fact is - the earth is warming, the climate is changing, we are each responsible for the burden our consumption lays on the earth. We have arrived at the edge of the world, where the old maps used to say 'Here be dragons'.   

I first used these images in a post last September

hello Diana

I bet you can see the stars in Africa, almost touch them.

You make a good point and thanks for the rant link, I hadn't read that one.
