Spiritually speaking, is Daylight Savings causing Global Warming?

Since there is an extra hour of sunlight, our planet has more time to heat up. No wonder Global Warming has become a major problem. All these years we've been saving daylight, we've really been destroying our planet.
Is Daylight Savings Biblical, anyway?

So, Global Warming isn't a problem in Arizona and other countries?

Please tell me this is a joke, and you're not really that ignorant!

Daylight savings time is just a convenience to commerce. It is a measurement, a counting system, not having the slightest effect on the actual global temperature.

Oh wait, let me think about this. Maybe it does. As you know, once the sun goes down, the air and the surface of the ground start to cool off. So when the evening rush hour happens after sunset, presumably it provides less extra heat, because it is being cooled by the cooler air.

Maybe if instead of daylight savings time, we had darkness savings time . . . but then the morning rush hour is also moved ahead . . . your question is giving me a headache.

Daylight savings doesn't bring an extra hour of sunlight. It just changes the times at which the same amount of sunlight shines.

It's stupid, I wish they'd stop that already.

But global warming is mostly unfounded hype. We're not destroying our planet... in fact, things have gotten better. The globe has been warmer before, and most scientists agree that there is nothing we could do to stop or change the natural fluctuations.

hahahahaha wow
we're not actually saving daylight with this
just setting our clocks different
the sun is still gonna shine on the earth just as much as last year

here in AZ we don't do daylight savings
that doesn't mean we have any less daylight than the rest of the U.S.

How is this question Spirtually Spoken?

Why are a few people starting questions with Spiritually Speaking but going off on a non spiritual tangent?
