Erik's email was just read on the BBC's World Have Your Say radio program.

Here's the email, in response the the five minute demonstration of solidarity in recognizing the human cause of climate change. Obviously, we didn't turn out lights off, and yes, the Eiffel Tower was dark.

Subject: Shutting off the lights
Although I think the gesture of shutting of the lights for five minutes is touching, I worry about the grid when all these well-meaning people suddenly turn their lights on at 7. We may all get an extended taste of darkness.
If you are really concerned about climate change, don't fly.
