A Martian at Melbourne’s Moreland City Council supports the Sydney Morning Herald’s Earth Hour (this Saturday, 7.30pm-8.30pm):
Letter From Mars
Attention Earthlings – this is a warming. Climate change is not going to be nice …
Don’t like the idea! Well do something Earthlings!
For starters take part in Earth Hour which is an initiative for residents to turn off all the unnecessary lights.
Unplug all unnecessary appliances – mobile phone charger, TV, microwave, MP3 players – that are not being used and are on standby. Appliances left on standby account for up to 10 per cent of the average household’s electricity use.
Get together with your family and talk about this …
Think about it Earthlings!
Via ilibcc, who observes: “Directly above is an ad for the Pascoe Vale festival on the same day, which features the City of Moreland’s very own electricity-sucking Saturday rock concert – until 8pm!”

Waterfront homes in Brunswick might be ok
Not even the wildest global warming alarmist is proposing that Brunnie is going to have water frontages.
I have a soft spot for Moreland Council as they named a street after my grandmother, but they are a great example of utterly clueless local government.
If Moreland wants to address a really pressing issue, they would look at the tensions between Aussies and Muslims that led to a brawl at the Pascoe Vale pool last year, or the segregated swimming at Brunnie Baths so our Muslim sisters don’t have to share with infidel pigs.

- Now we’re getting environmental advice from a planet that’s a single giant desert? A red desert planet, no less, which shows you how well all the Lefty enviroposturing worked out for them…Posted by richard mcenroe on 2007 03 29 at 10:03 AM • permalink
- >Attention Earthlings – this is a warming. Climate change is not going to be nice …
It was unseasnably warm last week here in Chicago. I like climate change just fine
(It is now seasonably miserable again, and next week it is to be in the low 30s F with snow showers—I am not sure if Al gore is coming for a visit)

- I did my part. I bought compact flourecent light. 75watt equivalent. Just 23watts.
I put it in my laundry room. Now I don’t have to bumble around in the dark looking for the string to pull, I can just leave the light on 24/7 guilt free.
The light is fine, but it’s noisy. So I won’t be putting them in living areas. Maybe in the bathroom if they can do a vanity bulb.
- Well I never!
Watched the Footy Show with Fatty and Matty and the Chief – very entertaining as usual (yes I’m a Westie pleb) and while signing off they urged us viewers to support Earth Hour!?
Good heavens – talk about brainwashing! No-one is safe! Not even ex footy players!
For those in the US – this is a lowbrow show suited for lowbrow Westies like me who love footy

- Hmmm
The atmosphere of Mars is quite different from that of Earth. It is composed primarily of carbon dioxide …
The average recorded temperature on Mars is -63° C (-81° F)
Goretopia!

Can we let them destroy Congress first?
What’s this “let” crap, kimosabe? I’d make it part of the terms of surrender; if the Martian Overlords fail to do so, guerilla warfare resues.

- “resumes”, not “resues”, although that does have a certain appeal as well…..Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2007 03 29 at 11:26 AM • permalink
- The Earth will not submit to Martian ultimatums! At least not until they kidnap a few of our people first, then we’ll be falling over each other to talk…

Shoot, let the Martians have Congress, but they also have to take the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
And the UN. We won’t surrender until they destroy Congress, the 9th Circus, and the UN.

We won’t surrender until they destroy Congress, the 9th Circus, and the UN.
While we are negotiating our surrender to the Martian Overlords, don’t forget to add in the Democratic National Committee, San Francisco, and George Soros.

- I call bullshit on this supposed Martian email. I’ve seen every episode of My Favorite Martian, and never once did Uncle Martin even allude to the possibility of global warming.Posted by AlburyShifton on 2007 03 29 at 04:00 PM • permalink
- Moreland Council has long been the looniest of loony local councils – continuous moonbattery. These are the idiots that wanted to charge Australia Post site rent for post boxes, and who opposed the original cable TV installation. They’re all as mad as meataxes.Posted by walterplinge on 2007 03 29 at 05:49 PM • permalink
- Ok let’s join a few dots …
The Martian at Melbourne’s Moreland City Council says,
“Unplug all unnecessary appliances – mobile phone charger, TV, microwave, MP3 players – that are not being used and are on standby. Appliances left on standby account for up to 10 per cent of the average household’s electricity use.”
And from Terry McCrann “Yesterday, Rudd restated that Labor would sign the Kyoto protocol on greenhouse gas emissions; and that its policy was to target a 60 percent reduction in Australia’s emissions by 2050”, and “But let me give him one number. A target to cut total emissions by 60 percent would mean something like a 90 per cent reduction in emissions per person or per unit of economic output.”
So there we have it, the Martian really want us to run on standby! Join the moonbat Earth Day and remember that this is just the start. By 2050, we’ll all be running on 10 percent energy, i.e., on complete standby.
Yes, that’s it folks! Look forward to an Economy that runs Perpetually On Standby. Nothing else. Something to look forward to: everyone sitting around watching their appliances on standby to save the planet!
- My B.S. detector is going berserk!
Correct me if I’m wrong (wouldn’t be the first time!) but hasn’t the “Appliances left on standby account for up to 10 per cent of the average household’s electricity use” line been proven to be another of those green lies – repeated often enough that the minions believe it as fact?
I understand that some appliances use 10% of their running power when left on standby (and some a whole lot less). So now some greentard/journo has hyped this up to try to make us believe that 10% of a household’s entire electricity use is from appliances on standby.
These guys have no shame…
