Earth Hour 2019

Loading the atmosphere with five million tonnes of CO2 every hour has pushed Earth dangerously close to a no-return threshold, beyond which lies an unlivable hothouse world, top climate scientists have warned.

The Eiffel Tower, the Sydney Opera House and even the ancient Acropolis in Athens were plunged into darkness for an hour on Saturday as part of a global campaign to raise awareness about climate change and its impact on the planet's vanishing plant and animal life.

Earth Hour returns today as people around the world turn off the non-essential electric lights for one hour, from 8:30pm to 9:30pm.

Earth Hour 2019 India: Earth Hour is an opportunity to focus on long-term changes that everyone can make to do their part for the planet.
