Daylight savings time, global warming. Coincidence? I think not!

I have recently concluded that daylight savings time is directly contributing to global warming.
Has anyone noticed our unusually warm spring this year? It started in my area RIGHT after we set the clocks forward. Daylight savings time started almost a month earlier than it did in prior years.
Setting the clocks forward has caused an extra hour of daylight which, of course, has a direct effect on the heating of the Earth.
I think that we can still help prevent further damage can still be prevented by setting the clocks BACK a month early in order to create an extra hour of darkness.
Thank you all for reading and I hope you write to your congressman!

"What is your name , Bob ??
Come on Bob, what's your name ??????"
Haha,,,, I know the answer to that question!
I really do!
Uhhhhh,,,,, let me check my drivers's license
It's Bob!!
Ok, and today I came up with the multi billion dollar invention, patent pending,,,, the shower curtain that comes on a roll. so when it's funky you pull it and rip it off to expose new curtain material just like the roll of paper on the doctor's table!

Holy shit, that would be awesome! I've been needing to change mine and I can't stand looking at it. Those sprays just don't cut it. While you're buzzing on the painkillers, try to come up with an invention to keep your gutters clean. That's a real pain in the ass.

I don't need painkillers to figure that out!
If you have a one story house, a leaf blower with a hook shaped attachment on it works pretty well.
If you have to do them by hand,,, a kitchen spatula works pretty well to get the funky stuff out that you should have gotten out a year ago.
Otherwise, a shield called Gutter Helmet. That's the only thing I've seen that keeps leaves from getting in the gutters in all my years as a home inspector.
Haha,,, now I'm feeling like a one footed info-mercial!
Or, when I'm back on my feet,,,, a beer and a couch,,,,, I'll come over and get'm!

Whatcha been doing for the last five years, Bob ???
Pressure washer is great, but, like you say, that ecosystem in the gutters can get nasty!
Maybe disposable roll out gutters like the shower curtain? :cool:
I'm a friend of the earth type, so I guess that won't fly. Too much metal
Actually, I think we're hijacking this thread from it's original seriousness!

Do you have a basement or crawl space? Does your soil slope away from the house? Do you have a decent sized roof overhang?
Do you really NEED gutters?
I'd take the gutters OFF and add drains on the ground before I cut the trees! But we need to discuss that first.

I think I could actually do away with them. I just have a crawl space and the yard does slope away on the left side. I was only worried about the grass and the flowers. So drains on the ground....hmmm. Well, this has certainly been most informatve.

Wellllllll, it DOES depend on what part of the country in which you're dancing in the moonlight. If it freezes a lot, then ground drains won't work in the winter because they freeze.
If you live in the PROPER part of the country that doesn't freeze,, (Where I should be living!) then you can put a gravel lined "French Drain" (Excuse me,,, "Freedom Drain"

I wus joking ya know !!
I don't believe in Global Warming. I think it's a crock. Along with the sun causing cancer.
Ok, well, you may have asked the exact wrong person about the sun causing cancer. All the money and insurance and time and energy I had in this world went to trying to kick that a few years ago and there aren't many of us around. Look up Stage IV melanoma.
No hate, though. We make the beds we sleep in.

Maybe I should clarify:
I don't believe the sun can cause cancer for people who are not ill.
Oh holy shit, I better send back all those medicare cheques I get for cutting em out then, thanks man, I mighta got busted otherwise.
Well, I'm not sure about your medical background, or what you mean by "that problem", but Melanoma IS skin cancer, and it had metastisized to a few of my organs. (Stage 4) That WAS my illness.
I ended up getting advanced treatment in Australia,,, maybe Lucylespian was my doc! :cool:
But this thread is more about daylight savings time causing global warming!
I'm turning my clocks back NOW to do my part!

Can dirt cause cancer? Can water cause cancer? No. It's a crock. Do you know what happens to a person if they never get sun?
Why don't freakin plants get ...uh...what would you call it? leaf cancer? Did you ever stop to think that maybe it's something else that is causing the skin cancer?

The sun IS important! We need it, but too much isn't that great. If you lay out there and soak enough up, your skin is going to blister and burn and peel.
Too much water too fast can cause hyponatremia, where your cells burst.
Plants don't get leaf cancer, but if the type plant isn't used to the sun the leaves burn and fall off.
Haha,, well, not sure WHAT too much dirt will do. It's GOTTA cause some kind of digestive problems.
But I'm not going to sit here with all the other stuff I have to do right now and argue about something like this, when the thread started as a little bit of a lighthearted joke.
Ok, lame joke, sorry, but it seemed funny at the time!
Haha,,, ok, I'll just go sit out in the car!

Anyway, too much of anything is bad for a person. The sun can kill you if you lay out in it for days, of course. Anyway, sorry if I started anything. :(
I'm with you Forest.
How about the 1000+ nuclear weapons tests performed during the cold war that saturated our atmosphere with nuclear radiation? Just because that ended 20 years ago doesn't mean it didn't happen. That doesn't make it into any publications about global warming or anything like that. All those explosions HAD to have some kind of effect.
On the other hand...the sun is getting hotter (I have another post about that around here somewhere) so who really knows.
Remember, we used to KNOW the earth was flat. Now we KNOW that SUV's cause global warming and we KNOW that the sun causes skin cancer.
