Russian Scientists say period of global cooling ahead due to changes in the sun

WUWT Anthony Watts / April 29, 2013 From Radio Voice of Russia: Russia’s Pulkovo Observatory: “we could be in for a cooling period that lasts 200-250 years” Scientists at Russia’s famous Pulkovo Observatory are convinced that the world is in for a period of global cooling. Graph by David Archibald Global warming which has been the subject of so many discussions in recent years, may give way to global cooling.

Highest U.S. Temperatures on Record by State

Electroverse July 12, 2020 | Cap Allon Historical documentation destroys the man-made global warming theory. While those in control of the temperature graphs are all too happy to fraudulently increase the running average, what they haven’t (yet) had the chutzpa to do is rewrite the history books. As Tony Heller uncovers on his site realclimatescience, NASA routinely cools the past and heats the present, so to give the illusion of a greater warming trend — and comparisons between old and new graphs instantly reveals this fraud: In 1999, NASA’s James Hansen reported 0.5C US cooling since the 1930’s: By 2016, …

10 fallacies about Arctic sea ice & polar bear survival refute misleading ‘facts’

Polar Bear Science July 8, 2020 This updated blog post of mine from last year is as pertinent now as it was then: it’s a fully-referenced rebuttal to the misleading ‘facts’ so often presented this time of year to support the notion that polar bears are being harmed due to lack of summer sea ice. Polar Bears International developed ‘Arctic Sea Ice Day’ (15 July) to promote their skewed interpretation of polar bear science at the height of the Arctic melt season. This year I’ve add a ‘Polar Bears and the Arctic Food Chain‘ graphic, which readers are free to …

Supreme Court Greenlights Pipeline Projects, Except for Keystone XL
