What can we do to stop the evenings drawing in, as Winter approaches?

Question

It is so depressing when it starts going dark at 4pm. How about we stick a large mirror in space to reflect some light down?

Answer 1

Move the earth closer to the sun, this way years will shorter and days warmer.

Answer 2

Yeah, there are way more people who live in the Northern Hemisphere rather than the Southern. We should invent a way to make the Earth stop shifting on its axis. If I can permanently keep it at say mid-August for the axial tilt, that would be nice (earlier in the summer would make it too hot). About the amount of light and warmth that we recieve now is just right.

Answer 3

Change the angle of the Earth's tilt. This will even out the daylight hours of winter and summer.

Alternatively, Australia has more daylight hours in the Northern Hemisphere winter.

Answer 4

Winter's not depressing - it's cosy! I love winter as you get to snuggle up on the sofa in your duvet and drink hot chocolate, play in the snow (possibly), and the start of winter means the start of the party season! We've got halloween, christmas and new year to look forward to!

Answer 5

Ask Al Gore. He invented the Internet and discovered Global Warming. He makes Mr. Wizzard look like a high school dropout he's so smart.

Answer 6

Move south to get the longer days.

But the dark evenings aren't depressing, they have as many advantages as disadvantages.

Answer 7

Put on the Moody Blues and breath deep the gathering gloom.

Answer 8

Move to the equator where the days and nights are always 12 hours.

Answer 9

Change Earth's axial rotation tilt from 23-degrees to zero-degrees.

Answer 10

This question is a PERFECT example of the questions I reference in my own question, posted today. Why do people post goofy questions like this here? Sounds to me like this one would be better in mental health - you probably suffer from seasonal affective disorder. Check it out....
