Does Earth Hour make any sense at all?

Question

The Green Living Site advertised the idea of an Earth Hour Dinner Party on 
http://www.greenlivingonline.com/blog/lindsay/earth-hour-dinner-party
This suggested that we "Create a meal that reflects the occasion, using recipes that you can enjoy by candlelight and where no cooking is required during lights out."
In other words, to save the world from CO2, burn candle wax instead of that electricity stuff, and ignore the smoke that is generated.
"The idea is to cook a recipe that you can enjoy by candlelight, where there is no cooking involved during the earth hour (any prep can be done in advance)."
Ok, This means it's OK to burn coal to make power for your oven to cook your meal before Earth Hour as long as you turn them off for the hour itself?
How is this of any benefit at all?

No. It's a propaganda exercise.

And "enjoying a dinner by candlelight?" HA... and that will produce more pollution than using the electricity, but they're too moronic to see that.

Yes,because we save energy.And for your example,it is not that all of people are burning coal or enjoying to cook in the candlelight before earth hour starts.

Well if you turn off lights, have a campfire dinner, and reduce the use of our everyday supplies we could save lots of money. Also plant a tree recycle everything you use.
