Somehow our government feels we benefit from adjusting the clocks to obscure our perception of time. They do this in other ways; inflation data, unemployment data, census data, health data and, many other policy forming information are, “massaged” or adjusted to generate metadata in order to help us cope with the myriad of societal problems we face. By, “calibrating” information we can improve the, “message” and impose policies to resolve issues. Daylight savings was adopted to help us save energy, or so the argument goes.
As a service to my country, and in an attempt to help us feel better and get along, I would like to help stop the climate science debate by proposing a new way to handle the problem. We should have stop adjusting the data from the many weather stations used to measure climate change and simply introduce thermometers calibrated for winter and summer. On the spring and fall equinoxes we simply exchange thermometers. The summer thermometers will measure 100 degrees Fahrenheit as 85 degrees, “summer cooling therms” and in the winter, 32 degrees will be reported as 45 “winter warming therms”. By adjusting the terms we improve the therms!
We will end all the acrimony of unsettled science. We will all save energy and reduce pollution by feeling better about the milder temperatures and most importantly we will come together as a nation united by our common delusion!
A better solution would be that all who believe that CO2 causes global warming should quit exhaling.
The results of this one action alone would immediately and significantly contribute to lower CO2 levels.
We would also solve a number of other problems that these same idiots cause us.
