it is the results that matter. If the corporates have hijacked "Earth Hour" but in the process they increase awareness in the general public's mind the issue of environmental problems Earth is facing, it is not a negative thing. I would be happy to see more corporates,, meaning commercial entities, coming on board.
That thread header conveys a negative connotation. Reading it literally gives me the impression that "Earth Hour" is a despicable hoax. May be that is what the article the poster referred to is meant to say. If it is, then we are talking about climate change being a hoax, a subject which had been widely talked about here on hotcopper over more than a year.
By the way, I do not believe climate change, or by whatever description some people may want to call it, is a hoax.
