People KNOW when the sun sets earlier and later than it should. I for one, don't need irrefutable proof. If people are saying they notice it happening, it's probably happening.

The inuit have been noticing this for years.

And this is why some of us try to intervene in this nonsense. It's because someone posts something stupidly false on the internet, maybe just guessing, and then others begin repeating it as if it was known fact, like the above. "The Inuit" have done no such thing.

Even in Greenland, the sun came up two DAYS earlier than usual a couple years ago, and know what the debunkers said? They said "Oh, a glacier just melted, thus allowing people to see the sun 2 days earlier."

Wrong. That is not the reason for that phenomenon, and again you are repeating something which is false. It is caused by what is known as the Novaya Zemlya effect which was noted to have made the sun SEEM to rise as much as 2 WEEKS early some centuries ago.

NOT!

I grew up in Nebraska, where it got dark in the winter before 5pm. So, I too, like the OP, would notice if it was getting dark at the wrong time. Obviously, something is up.

I'm now in Arizona and I have only lived here 10 years, not long enough to really feel like a local yet, and because I'm further south and west, the sun sets at different times than where I grew up... but a couple weeks ago, I was having lunch outside with a friend and felt that that light at 1:30 pm, felt more like the winter light at 4pm.

I didn't say anything to my friend, but I felt it wasn't natural.

Why don't you park your feelings and take some real measurements of this alleged phenomenon? You'll be famous for documenting it!
