But there is no 'control' data, or data that shows what the climate was like before.
If you wanted to do a study to track the changes in the length of daylight over the course of a year and used the statistical equivalent (figuring 150 yrs of data over lets say 10,000,000 years) of 0.0015%, that means your study would be limited to .005475 days or about 7.884 seconds. I think we could all agree that 7.884 seconds is statistically insignificant over the course of a year, as 150 years is statistically insignificant over the course of 10,000,000 years.
