Something else for Al Gore to worry about

letter to the editor

I don't know if anyone  else has noticed, but I have detected  a new 
crisis that I have named "the daylight change crisis". I first noticed 
it sometime around the end of June this year. I started paying attention 
and created computer models and sure enough I was right! We are losing 
daylight at an astonishing rate. Each day we are losing approximately 2 
minutes of day light and my computer models predict total darkness by 
next July.

I have been able to detect this phenomenon around the entire Northern 
Hemisphere. And here is the scary part: the day light appears to be 
leaking to the Southern Hemisphere.

I thought I should bring it to the attention of great scientists like Al 
Gore so he can help solve this new crisis.
