    I do think it would be more of an impact if everyone turned the lights out at the same time rather than local time

    Or, how about the "Earth Hour" link that is on the page.

    Might one consider clicking on that?

    I would venture to say that the logistical issues attempting something like this would more than just a little difficult to overcome.

    Wow, have you noticed that the subsequent search result pages are in white? It's their way of raising awareness that turning the lights off for one hour isn't going to delay the inevitable in any way at all. What a brilliant move by Google. What will they think of next?

    Of course it's flat you fool! But when it rotates on its axis only one side faces the sun at a time!
