First thought - Gee, this could have been written by some of the people on this forum.
Second thought - Why doesn’t she just move to COLD Springs.
come on
are you kidding? this is really silly. the idea that just cause we choose to structure our time differently somehow this effects climate. ummm. i think not. thats like saying if we call winter summer from now on that somehow the globe will take notice and reflect our decisions.
It shifts energy use and maybe fluctuates slightly – less energy use means less heat output. It shifts the time of emission output – different amount of sunlight hitting smog. It affects the time of mass movements in the air caused by moving vehicles – air circulations change weather patterns. These all could theoretically have an effect on the weather and “global climate change”. Though, I doubt any effect, if any, on a daily basis is significant.
Somehow I think you guys are over-thinking this. She is talking about the extra hour of daylight.
I had better not forget to wind my watch tonight, the sky could fall on our heads!
Maybe we need to under-think this one, like the author of that article. I somehow don’t think she meant the stuff Gilby said.
Oh, particularly hot March. That HAS to equal global warming.
But wait? I guess global warming gotgot fixed already?
Al almost has me convinced, but every time someone talks about how hot it is, they compare it to how hot it was.
From the article (emphasis added)…
That means a HUNDRED and seven years ago, it was basically this hot. So much for Global Warming.
I think it’s important to remember here that this is not an “Article” it’s a letter to the paper, which follows vastly different rules of journalistic integrity than an actual newspaper article.
No, no… this is peer reviewed. I’m sure her Arkansas friends reviewed it.
By which you presumably mean no rules whatsoever.
Scientists have only documented climate change on this side of the Earth. Maybe the other side is getting colder.
An extra hour of daylight in Arkansas must mean the night lasts an hour longer on the other side of Earth. Ofcourse it gets colder there.
Global warming exists. Theres no debate about it. Daylight savings is not contributing to it though. Daylight savings is used to minimize energy use.
Fortunately, I didn’t adjust the time on the clocks in my room. Nice and cool here.
AHAHAHAHAHAAH!! Oh man, that article was hilarious, she has to be kidding. I mean, I know some people aren’t all that brainy, but come on…right?
No, everythings pretty much the same down here, rain falls up, owls only come out in the day time, the usual.
Do you smell that…? This whole global warming thing smells kind of familiar. I know I’ve smelt that smell before but I can’t quite place it and it’s driving me crazy…Ah YES! I’ve got it! It has the familiar smell of Y2K all over again. Remember Y2K? Remember how scared the Y2K conspirators had us? Remember the BILLIONS AND BILLIONS of dollars we spend and others made on the Y2K SCAM? I, for one, didn’t buy into the Y2K scare but I do remember feeling a little anxious at the stroke of midnight on January 1, 2000 and what happened? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! NOT EVEN A LIGHTBULB FLICKER! THE NATIONAL POWER GRID DIDN’T COLLAPSE! RUSSIA’S NUCLEAR MISSLES DIDN’T LAUNCH! MY BANK ACCOUNT DIDN’T GET WIPED OUT! NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING! So the average temperature has risen 1/2 a degree over the last gazillion years. SO WHAT! These con men and women should be rounded up and put in jail just like the Y2K conspirators should have been.
It may be like the ozone issue from the early 90s… Dupont’s patent on their cfc aerosol is about to run out, so let the propoganda engines roar to make legislators outlaw the stuff, so that competitors can’t make it when it becomes patent free. Then come out with a CFC replacement, patent it, and claim another victory.
In any case, legalize industrial hemp so we can actually produce biofuels (ethanol, biogas) cost effectively, instead of having the illusion due to high corn farming subsidies.
you are joking me right? Global warming is real, it is here it is now and we need to do something to fix it. As it stands America and Australia havent ratified the kyoto protocol treaty and the Earth will suffer for it.
Have you done your own research? Or do you believe everything the media tells you?
