I admit that I am not a climate scientist. In this case, that may be a strength, as I’ll explain below. First, here are my biases: Like most, I appreciate a clean, healthy environment. I value human life above that of bees and trees. I consider nature to be amoral: Nature doesn’t care about you or your family, nor does it know right from wrong. And of course, I oppose initiation of force and fraud against my fellow man. I am dismayed when people try to deny their biases.

The case of Aden, discussed in Parker & Ollier (2017) and Parker & O’Sullivan (2018), is only one of the many where the data proposed by the PSMSL are not trustworthy.  Another examples has been recently added to the long list, Funafuti, in Tuvalu (Parker, 2018).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.’

We’ve all heard or read about how our atmosphere is supposed to mimic a real greenhouse and how that is supposed to make our earth warmer through the emissions of human generated carbon dioxide.

Now we have a real-life example of how a real greenhouse leaks heat like a sieve leaks water. The breakdown of a boiler in a professional greenhouse in Edinburgh is causing concern about the special plants and flowers grown within that greenhouse.

SPOTLIGHT: Journalistic professionalism evaporates in front of our eyes.

BIG PICTURE: When historians document the demise of the mainstream media, an article published this week by the New York Times will make an excellent case study.

Imagine That, Temperatures Match Water Vapor NOT CO2

Two of the above graphics are of ocean temperatures, one is of atmospheric temperatures above the oceans. Can you tell the difference?

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.

70+ Papers: Holocene Sea Levels 2 Meters Higher – Today’s Sea Level Change Indistinguishable From Noise.

1. 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 meter per century.

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.

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].
