In 2005, Russian astronomer Khabibullo Abdusamatov predicted the sun would soon peak, triggering a rapid decline in world temperatures. Only last month, the view was echoed by Dr. Oleg Sorokhtin, a fellow of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. who advised the world to "stock up on fur coats." Sorokhtin, who calls man's contribution to climate change "a drop in the bucket," predicts the solar minimum to occur by the year 2040, with icy weather lasting till 2100 or beyond.

Anyone else other than me feel pretty dammed sad that the only people that seem to be speaking with some honesty and real research into climate change are the RUSSIANS?

Was'nt too long ago, the meme was that we could'nt lie and the russkies could'nt tell the truth.

I should really stop trying to figure out how I stumbled into a rabbit hole a decade or two ago...

Well, they already have/had communism there so they dont need to lie about global warming to scare the sheeple into embracing socialism. Thats just for us.

You know, it is pretty insane, isn't it ?

I never thoguht I'd see the day when the countries of the old soviet block race one another to see who can have the lowest flat tax rate, read milton friedman to learn how to design their economies, etc, etc.

Maybe we should go there...

The Russians are by far the largest high-latitude country and will be greatly effected by any real climate change. They have a big stake in trying to figure out what really going on with the climate, either warming or cooling, and in being correct with their predictions.

Western environuts are only concerned with furthering their agenda of the economic control of individuals. They don't need to be right or wrong because "the debate is already finished".
