Global Warming - The Liberal Conspiracy

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.

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!

johnfoss · 2007-04-24, 04:35 PM

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.

uni57 · 2007-04-24, 04:56 PM

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)...

Quote:

You may have noticed that March of this year was particularly hot. As a matter of fact, I understand that it was the hottest March since the beginning of the last century.

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.

uni57 · 2007-04-24, 06:03 PM

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.

Spudman · 2007-04-25, 06:56 AM

Fortunately, I didn't adjust the time on the clocks in my room. Nice and cool here.

mawesome · 2007-04-25, 09:35 AM

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.
