PARIS: Even as people the world over symbolically dimmed lights to fight global warming on March 19, many joined e-mail and social network campaigns that invisibly contributed to climate change. 

The 10th edition of Earth Hour, organised by the WWF and backed by other NGOs to raise awareness about the threat of climate change, saw landmark monuments – from the Eiffel Tower to the Empire State building to Taipei 101 in Taiwan – go dark at 8:30pm local time.
