It is important in countries like Saudi Arabia and other nations undergoing radical change such as Egypt and more like Libya and Syria that people understand this is a Climate Crisis and not evil or wrath from God. Weather and adversity in nations based in subsistence can be agitated to adverse outcomes by radical extremists that will use any method to destroy a nation's trust in their benevolent government. Sophistication is important to peace. Dispelling fear and replacing it with knowledge can help move a nation to a place of peace and productivity. It is a dangerous time for the Mideast, so any abnormality can be used against a populous. The politics of depravity.
It is my opinion that man-made crisis results when there is ignorance of the natural world as provided by any god's will and/or the willingness to live within Earth's benevolence.
Turning an entire planet into a source of wealth over it's profound purpose of supporting life is not only foolishness, it is complete irreverence to any overlord.
I am not alone in my point of view.

"Environmental threats (click here) are among the most grave impediments to lifting human development … The longer action is delayed, the higher the cost will be," warns the report, which builds on the 2011 edition looking at sustainable development.
"Environmental inaction, especially regarding climate change, has the potential to halt or even reverse human development progress. The number of people in extreme poverty could increase by up to 3 billion by 2050 unless environmental disasters are averted by co-ordinated global action," said the UN.
Ignorance in understanding complex systems can happen to the most benevolent of leaders. First the brain trust has to exist and secondly it has to be valued.
Pope Francis seeks to favor lifting misery of the poor which in many instances is Third World and very susceptible to droughts and deluge. When faced with these problems the Third World finds death and not just misery.
In reaction to "Earth Hour":
This is a laudable event, (click here) very significant and symbolic, because it will tell us that there is indeed a global unity. The urgency to protect the global environment and conserve energy remains critical.
The disruption in power will certainly affect critical sectors of the economy. The production and services of these sectors will be disrupted; this would mean cut in productivity. Of course security is another issue, and the Ministry of Interior is expected to provide safeguards against elements taking advantage of the situation.

Very few people in Saudi Arabia know about Earth Hour. However, the idea behind the event that encourages people to turn off lights is good. But the issue of global warming is so serious that the world should observe Earth Hour at least once a month. There is a need to create awareness among people at all levels on how important it is to turn off lights that are not in use.

I have a big house with 10 high-power electric bulbs. I usually ask my wife and children to turn off lights that are not in use. However, I will make sure that on Saturday my house and in my neighborhood participate in Earth Hour.
