Why You Have to Poop in the Morning, According to Science

People who worry about everything from if they’re pooping enough to why they’re pooping so much may want to pay less attention to how often they poop and focus on timing instead. That’s because the morning bowel movement is the best of all bowel movements, according to doctors. It’s not because the morning is the only time dads have for a little privacy (and reading). Rather, morning dumps are great for the entire family because the human body is best equipped evacuate during this time. Even if you’re not a morning person, don’t hold them in. 

“In the morning, when we first wake up, an internal alarm clock goes off in our colon, and the colon starts contracting more vigorously,” gastroenterologist Dr. Sarina Pasricha explains. “In fact, the colon contracts and squeezes three times as hard in the first hour we are awake compared to when we are sleeping.”

When people are asleep, the small intestine and colon work to process all the food leftover from the previous day. About 30 minutes after waking the urge to poop sets in. Morning routines that stretching, drinking water, and most notably, coffee, help to move digestion along. About 30 percent of people report the need to go after a hot cup of Joe.  

“Drinking early morning coffee works synergistically with gut motility to create healthy bowel movements,” Pasricha says.

Still, that’s not to say everyone should be pooping every morning, or that there’s no such thing as pooping too much. Anywhere from three days a week to three times a day is considered normal. Diet and exercise make the biggest difference between weekly and daily dumpers, and traveling can disrupt a person’s digestive cycle as well. It’s estimated that 40 percent of people experience constipation while on vacation, which isn’t the best way to relax. This is at least in part due to jet lag. “Sleep disturbances alter the natural colon peristalsis,” Pasricha warns. “People can have irregular bowel movements. Uninterrupted deep sleep is important in maintaining healthy pooping behavior.”

Ultimately, taking a morning poop is not vital for a person’s health, Pasricha says. But it sure is a pleasant diversion. “Typically the best time of the day to have a bowel movement is in the morning. However, some people may not have morning bowel movements and this does not necessarily mean there are any issues,” Pasricha. “It is okay not to have morning bowel movements as long as people are having regular daily bowel movement

'It's already begun': Feedback loops will make climate change even worse, scientists say

https://www.yahoo.com/news/its-already-begun-feedback-loops-will-make-climate-change-even-worse-scientists-say-090000011.html

Repeating myself. I just did a few back-of-envelope calculations based on high-school days as a budding chemical engineer.

Atmospheric carbon rise from 2 to 4 ppm due to carbon-fuel burning starting in the Industrial Revolution till now has the planet at a measured temp hot as 53 million years ago. The hottest volcanic period on record.
