Clock change debate pits science against politics

Original: A clock change dilemma pits science vs. politics

Debate over changing the clocks is back in the spotlight, with scientists generally favouring an end to the twice-yearly switch between standard and daylight saving time because of health effects, while politicians remain divided over which system should be permanent. Lawmakers have repeatedly delayed decisions, leaving the twice-a-year change in place and the argument unresolved.

Why now: Recurring seasonal clock changes repeatedly revive public and political debate over whether to abolish them.
