Well, according to a lawyer in Arkansas.

Daylight exacerbates warning

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. All of the trees were fully leafed out and legions of bugs and snakes were crawling around during a time in Arkansas when, on a normal year, we might see a snowflake or two. This should come as no surprise to any reasonable person. As you know, Daylight Saving Time started almost a month early this year. You would think that members of Congress would have considered the warming effect that an extra hour of daylight would have on our climate. Or did they ? Perhaps this is another plot by a liberal Congress to make us believe that global warming is a real threat. Perhaps next time there should be serious studies performed before Congress passes laws with such far-reaching effects.

    I once read a stupid letter to the editor in a Toronto paper..it was so stupid the editors noted that they just HAD to print it.

    Basically, some lady was up in arms about daylight savings time because it confuses the birds.

    Daylight savings time is a CHANGING OF CLOCKS, not a changing of TIME ITSELF!!!! The daylight hitting the planet is the same amount no matter what our watches say.

    Besides, in the southern hemisphere, the clocks do the reverse and there is LESS light time because it's winter down there.
