Er, you'd have to have some pretty insane lights and have them on at all hours of day if they actually did anything to heat your house.
And yes, incandescent light bulbs will destroy the world. Them and so many other things.
If we want to cut down on our energy use we can either choose to cut down on a few Big Things like cars(Not going to happen, because people are selfish jackholes.) or we can do a lot of small things like increasing efficiency for light bulbs and other ordinary things and simply forcing people to switch to the more efficient alternatives(Enforce it and tell them they'll save money, that'll get almost everyone doing it.). Enough projects like that could eventually have the same effect as one of the big changes, but people might actually do it since it wouldn't force them to change their lives considerably. For example, as the article states, a worldwide bulb change would save as much as five times the total energy use of Australia. Can you imagine that?
I'm also wondering what is wrong with the hurricane comment. It IS pretty much proven, as far as I know, that global warming(No matter what's causing it.) is also screwing with global weather, causing more droughts in Africa, more hurricanes in North America, more flooding in Europe and probably a bunch of other things I simply don't know about.
