So, when we drive our cars, we are causing the loss of sunlight? But, by driving we are causing global warming. therefore, the two should cancel each other out. EXCEPT, driving earlier in the days seems to bring out the sun, thus contributing to global warming. I think we should begin restricting the amount of sunlight in certain areas.
However, until that happens,I am going to write my PHD thesis on this phenomenon. afterward, I will start a foundation, write a book, start a cult. and retire early.
Actually there has been a correlation between rising early and the onset of sunrise. If you set your clock for Precisely 6 Am every day from now until, say, Jan 26, 2009, you will notice a significant increase in the amount of daylight hours, whether or not you drive a car! Try it, it works, and I am giving this advice free of charge.
You forgot to factor in the amount of light generated by vehicle headlights. I ran it through the computer; the result is that the loss of sunlight is equally balanced
by nighttime headlights. Nothing to fear here.
