My daylight savings time theory
April 1, 2007 – 9:12 amSo I got a new conspiracy theory. The reason that the government added three weeks to daylight savings time isn’t because they want to save energy (pssh, since when does the government want to do that?), but because the world is warming, and they want it to seem less obvious.
If you have been looking at the weather in the country in the recent weeks, there are already temperature records being broken.. friggin Chicago pretty much dinged 80 degrees in mid-march. Even the temps here in Buffalo have seemed a bit ahead of schedule. The cycle of days is one of those things where the human mind processes it, but it is much more subconscious than conscious. By making the days longer earlier in the year, many people won’t make the connection of the world getting warmer because the temperature seems to be following the light cycle that they have been used to for their entire lives.
Now, it just seems normal to people even though flowers are blooming early and people are getting a tan in the north east in March. I can’t wait to see what August looks like.
