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?

Update:

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?

    I really hope this is a joke. (not a very funny one, but i hope it is your attempt at humor.)

    If it is not a joke and you are serious, in my opinion, the education system at whatever school system you attended needs to be totally reorganized. Starting with every science instructor at the school(s) you have attended being fired for giving you a passing grade.

    May Our Creator watch over you and your family.

    Er..I hope you know this...but Daylight Saving doesn't alter the amount of sunlight that the earth receives...

    If you don't...you sad, sad person.

    If it didn't stay light longer at night it would get lighter earlier in the morning so it doesn't make a difference

    It is the same amount of daylight. We just shifted the clock to acknowledge the daylight at different times of day.

    I wish they would just leave the time one way or the other.

    The Bible does not speak about DST.

    Daylight savings is not global.

    The point is, more daylight, the less electricity people will consume (as far as lights go).
