definately scientist material he should move to queesland they dont have that problem up there
But effectively all you are doing with daylight savings is moving the clock. Something that was invented by man it's self the weather doesn't give a flying crap if we as humans say it's 3pm it doesn't care or know the difference time is only a period of exsistance that we as man follow
I think Chris Hill, from Albury, is right and so is Moby.
Every year, just after daylight savings starts the weather warms up significantly.
This can't be coincidence. (one or two years, maybe, but we're talking EVERY year!!)
It makes sense that if we get rid of daylight savings, the weather will stay cooler, there will be less moisture in the air and therefore less droughts.
I say a Royal Commission is needed.
Doesn't seem fair we have to pay the carbon tax in Qld if we don't have daylight savings
perhaps the effect of earlier rush hour on the "heat island" effect caused by cities ?
I love this thread. Everything is clear to me now. Bring on 21/12/2012...
This is sillyness on top of sillyness with a bit of taking the piss thrown in.
We've reached the end...see you all on the other side.
Rotten daylight saving!

Well logically explain it then . You can move time around all you like can't you what direct connection is there between the two I'm not saying it doesn't exsist but think about it . If 3 becomes 4 how is this linked to weather
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK, I'll try and explain it.
You're right that if 3 becomes 4 it won't effect the weather much, because both times are in the afternoon and are hot and sunny.
The problem is later on when 6 becomes 7. There's your extra hour of hot weather that probably causes most of the drought problems.
Hang on. Isn't it because people can water their gardens earlier, and therefor they are going to use more water because they have more time before they go to work. So they're draining the dams faster.
Well my curtains have faded faster with all the extra daylight since it was introduced.
Also, it gets harder each year to milk the cows earlier in the day.
So it's time to bite the bullet and get rid of it!
PS: The person who wrote the letter to the newspaper at the start of this post can actually vote - and I can assume there are many more who think the same way.
Holy Sh!t Batman - the world is in danger!
After much study, I think I have also linked Daylight Savings to the extinction of the dinosaurs!
This thread reminds me of a 'letter to the editor' from a local newspaper a few years ago. The writer was tired of the wind in the area, and mad because 'they' kept turning on the 'fans' all the time. The fans were the wind turbines at the nearby wind-farm that he could see turning from his house.
Unfortunately a true story
These fans probably adds to the drought since wind causes water to evaporate. Are there big fans in Albury?
This makes no sense, everyone still blinks their eyes just as often so its dark every time they blink. That all adds up and will mean no matter what they do with the clocks there is still a period of darkness in the day -QED (google it Raggy)
of course what Chris Hill from Albury doesn't realise is that daylight savings means there are more hours of daylight each day. That means we have to use less electricity which in turn means less green house gas emission.
Perhaps what they should do is turn the clock forward 4 or 5 hours and we end up with more daylight hence solving the whole global warming issue.
What a dope. He obviously hasn't factored in all the solar collectors going on the roofs all over the place. They suck the heat right up and we never see it again. That's why we need that extra hour of sunlight every day. The cause of global warming lies elsewhere. Obviously friction from the brake pads of millions and millions of Chinese cars is contributing to it but there may be more to it.
Just finished putting up about 2000 Xmas lights around the place.
Seeing I cant turn them on until much later with DLS it also means I have to stay up later to turn them off.
DLS also means you get home later from your after work windsurf so that means less time to drink beer.
All this negates any sort of positive feedback for DLS, I still love it but it has its drawbacks
