Global loss of daylight can be added to the list of the world's serious problems. People don't take it seriously but if things keep going this way we won't ever have sunshine and natural light again. Solar power will be crippled, forcing recourse to fossil fuels and worsening the greenhouse effect and AGW.
This little-noticed but highly dangerous problem has been developing for at least five months or so, probably longer. I have confirmed this by emails to friends in Canada, Poland and the UK.
Just as an example, where I live, near New York City, we have dropped from over 15 hours of daylight to just over 9 hours in recent months. An effort was made back in early November to stop the trend. This has worked for the mornings, temporarily but been counterproductive at night.
At the very least the U.N. must get involved. We cannot go on destroying the earth and not caring.
Another brazen call to break the laws of thermodynamics.
186,000 miles per second is not only a good idea, it's the LAW!
Just another example where the national conversation has been taken to all time lows under the current administration. Urging others to attempt to speed up time in a vain attempt to capture extra photons of light is highly irresponsible and down right reckless.
Yes. I fixed the problem, so please send you money to me. I guarantee that for the next six months you will see an improvement in the situation. Send me the Money!
What's your bitcoin account? Or do you accept payment in Madoff obligations?

I live in the UK and have not witnessed any reduction in daylight for the time of year, and there are no newspaper articles or scientific articles to back your claim.
The UK has a very good meteorological office that continually tracks and evaluates such data.

Of course, there's less daylight in America now. The summer solstice has passed some three months ago, and that usually means the days are getting shorter.
Hang in there. March will be here before we know it.
