The Migrant Mind: Russia--No warming seen in the Degree-Days Pt 3

The Arhangel'sk temperature record shows a step function between 1900 and 1930, when clearly the instrumentation changed. Since 1930, the number of degree-days has been declining at the rate of -.66 degree-days per year. This means Arhangel'sk has been cooling. The temperature here is certainly not behaving as the global warming people claim.

Note the drop in 2008. Lots of Russian stations cooled that year, not all, but lots of them.

Let's look at Murmansk. It doesn't show any warming trend since 1910. Note again the drop in temperature in 2008, which is consistent with a drop in the number of sunspots.

Could Human CO2 Emissions Cause Another PETM? | The Resilient Earth

When it comes to climate, the early Paleogene period (~65-34 mya), at the start of the Cenozoic Era, had one of the most Eden like climates of the Phanerozoic. As the Cenozoic progressed a cooling trend set in leading up to the formation of permanent ice caps and the Pleistocene Ice Age we are still experiencing. But before the world started to ice up our planet underwent one of the most dramatic bouts of global warming known to science—the Paleocene Eocene Thermal Maximum or PETM. Recently, global warming activists have tried to liken human CO2 emissions to the cause of the PETM, 55 million years ago. Is it true, that our actions may trigger a sudden sharp rise in global temperature?

Sydney man Warren Yates paid $30,000 for a solar power system. Here’s all the fun he’s having:

“At first, we weren’t self-sufficient; it took us a while to get our energy consumption down,” he said.

Turning off the family computers overnight, running the dishwasher every couple of days and refusing to turn on the heating “unless we have visitors” were some of the tactics the family used to reduce consumption.

It’s all worth it, though. Recently Yates received a $10 power credit.
