Grégoire Canlorbe: You say polar bears are far less endangered by global warming than by environmentalists dreading ice melt. Could you expand?
Dr. Willie Soon*: Yes, indeed. I have argued that too much ice will be the ultimate enemy for polar bears. Polar bears need less sea ice to be well fed and to reproduce.
A British spacecraft is now routinely making movies of the Earth’s surface. Carbonite-2 was built by Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL) in Guildford and launched in January.
Swiss lab says ‘BZ toxin’ used in Salisbury, not produced in Russia, was in US & UK service.
The substance used on Sergei Skripal was an agent called BZ, according to Swiss state Spiez lab, the Russian foreign minister said. The toxin was never produced in Russia, but was in service in the US, UK, and other NATO states.
The solar system is travelling through much stormier skies than we thought, and might even be about to pop out of the huge gas cloud we have been gliding through for at least 45,000 years. That’s the implication of a multi-decade survey of the interstellar wind buffeting the solar system, which has revealed an unexpected change in the wind’s direction.
Physical and mental exercise has been found to be beneficial for our brains, but scientists have now found it could also improve the learning ability of our children.
In a mouse study, researchers found the benefits gained from these activities were passed on to their offspring, despite not altering their DNA. Further research is needed to see if this replicates in humans. The German study is being published in the journal Cell Reports.
We are in the process of moving into the biggest scientific experiment of all time. We are approaching a solar minimum which we can observe. We can see how solar activity is declining.
And we now have two competing theories that have made predictions as to what impact the solar minimum, never mind a grand solar minimum if it were to happen, will have on the climate.
Are Modern ‘Anthropogenic’ Sea Levels Rising At An Unprecedented Rate? No.
Despite the surge in CO2 concentrations since 1900, the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has concluded that global sea levels only rose by an average of 1.7 mm/yr during the entire 1901-2010 period, which is a rate of just 0.17 of a meterper century.
The usual suspects, such as BBC, the Guardian, New York Times, Washington Post etc., are reporting that the Atlantic gulf stream is slowing down due to climate change, threatening an ice age.
That’s right, warmists are now claiming fossil fuels do cooling when they are not warming. As usual, the headlines are not supported by the details.
There are organizations whose purpose is to save us from impending catastrophes. I’m not talking about the Federal Emergency Management Agency or the Red Cross.
I’m thinking of the Sierra Club, Greenpeace, the Union of Concerned Scientists, the World Wildlife Fund, the National Geographic Society, The National Audubon Society, The Environmental Defense Fund, The Population Connection, and many more.
Susan Crockford is a polar bear expert with a message that climate alarmists don’t want to hear: polar bear populations are thriving and are certainly in no danger from thinning summer sea ice supposedly caused by ‘man-made global warming.’

Two previous studies, The Correlation of Seismic Activity and Recent Global Warming (CSARGW) and The Correlation of Seismic Activity and Recent Global Warming: 2016 Update (CSARGW16), documented a high correlation between mid-ocean seismic activity and global temperatures from 1979 to 2016 [1, 2].
The U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN) project of NOAA is similar to that of the Department of Agriculture’s Soil Climate Analysist Network (SCAN) project in that both projects’ central focus is to measure the soil’s temperatures and the moisture contents at 5cm (2in), 10cm (4in), 20cm (8in), 50cm, (20in) and 100cm (40in) depths.
The relentless campaign to find and sink Germany’s WWII battleship, the Tirpitz (pictured), has left its mark on the landscape that is evident even today. The largest vessel in Hitler’s Kriegsmarine, it was stationed for much of the war along the Norwegian coast to deter an Allied invasion.
If global temperatures continue to rise, Antarctica’s melting glaciers will cause the oceans to rise, as well as drastic changes in climate. However, new research by British Antarctic Survey shows that Antarctica paradoxically saw a 10 percent increase in snowfall over the last 200 years.
This is the European Space Agency’s spectacular new view of ocean tides as they sweep around the Earth. The movie shows not the bulging movement of water directly, but rather its magnetic signature. As the Moon pulls the salty seas through our planet’s global magnetic field, electric currents are generated.
