FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The iconic, gleaming grin at the entrance of Melbourne’s Luna Park lost its beam for an hour in a solemn nod to climate change.
The fifth annual Earth Hour also saw dozens of buildings across Melbourne’s CBD switch off their lights from 8.30pm on Saturday, casting an eerie darkness over the bustling city.
Billed as the largest environmental event in history, Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, aiming to send a powerful message for action on climate change and to celebrate the planet.
The event has since taken hold globally, with organisers expecting more than 6000 cities and towns across a record 150 countries set to switch off their lights for the hour this year.
Luna Park’s executive director Mary Stuart said she hoped the gesture of switching off the park’s lights would help “increase awareness of the significance of climate change to our community”.
Revellers in the city cheered as the lights gradually flickered back on at 9.30pm, but only time will tell if the hour-long gesture inspires them to take action.
In Sydney, the iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge were the first to go dark followed by buildings and venues around the city.
Energy company Ausgrid said energy use across the Sydney CBD fell by about 10 per cent during Earth Hour, which the equivalent of switching off more than 1.8 million energy saving light bulbs for an hour.
