Should we have daylight saving time?

Encyclopedia of Opinion

Question: Should we have daylight saving time?
Position1 of 2›: Yes, we should have daylight saving time
Argument‹2 of 2: Daylight saving time reduces pollution

By reducing pollution, daylight saving time also reduces negative effects from energy usage on climate change.

The argument

As a result of the energy usage reduction, Daylight Saving Time reduces pollution as well. The reduction in pollution, in turn, aids in the world's fight against climate change. Although it only causes a small dent in the crisis of climate change, every dent counts in a battle for the world.

Premises

[P1]By reducing energy usage, Daylight Saving Time also reduces pollution. [P2] That reduction in pollution aids the world's fight against climate change. [P3] Though it makes only a small dent, every dent counts in the battle for the world. [C] Therefore, because daylight saving time reduces pollution, we should have it.

Counter-arguments

The amount of pollution that is actually reduced as a result of Daylight Saving Time is basically negligible. While it reduces energy usage, and therefore, pollution, it also increases other means of negative impacts on the climate (specifically petroleum consumption).

Rejecting the premises

[Rejecting P2] Even though Daylight Saving Time reduces pollution from energy usage, it actually increases pollution from petroleum usage, making the apparent benefits of the concept insignificant.
