Echoes

The initiative, Earth Hour, was begun in Sydney two years ago by green campaigners keen to cut energy use.

Organisers want to create a huge wave of public pressure to influence a meeting in Copenhagen later this year to seek a new climate treaty.

Geoff Nuttall, Head of WWF Northern Ireland, said Earth Hour was “a hugely inspiring event”.

“As the climate talks get underway in Bonn and during the G20 Summit this week world leaders can be left in no doubt that they must do what is right and the time to act is now,” he said.

“The talks in Bonn are an important stepping stone on the road to Copenhagen when world leaders must agree on a global deal to tackle climate change.”

More than 100 cities and towns in the UK, from Belfast, London, Cardiff, and Edinburgh to Manchester joined in alongside schools and businesses at 2030 GMT on Saturday.

Alaska Airlines said it’s cancelled 19 flights due to the eruption of the Mount Redoubt volcano near Anchorage.

Nineteen flights into Anchorage and flights out of the city were cancelled “as a safety precaution related to the pattern of ash at altitude created by the eruption of Mount Redoubt,” the airline said.

Alaska Airlines, a subsidiary of Alaska Air Group Inc. (NYSE: ALK) of Seattle, operates up to 50 flights a day in to Anchorage.

“We recognize these cancellations will significantly impact our customers intending to travel to or from Alaska,” said Ben Minicucci, COO and vice president of operations for Alaska Airlines, in a statement.

Britain’s Prince William discussed his childhood in an interview broadcast Wednesday, reminiscing about wanting to be a policeman and getting a “Harry Potter” scar on his forehead. “A long time ago I wanted to be a policeman, when I was younger.

I soon learned that probably wasn’t a good idea,” he said on the BBC’s Newsround program, a current affairs show for children. The 26-year-old prince also said had to go to the hospital after being hit by a golf club.

“That was for my Harry Potter scar, as I call it,” he said, referring to the fictional boy wizard. “I call it that because it glows sometimes and some people notice it.

Other times they don’t notice it at all.” William said if he was invisible for a day he would go into a newspaper office.

“I’d hide in the background and listen to all the stories they talk about me,” he said. William has been president of the Royal Marsden Hospital in London since 2007, where his mother, Princess Diana was also president.

His appearance was meant to help the hospital raise funds for a children’s cancer wing. Alice Marples, a young cancer patient, conducted the interview at Clarence House, the London residence of William’s father, Prince Charles.

In an interview last month, William spoke about the death of his mother as he became a royal patron of a bereavement charity.
