    I grew up in Longyearbyen. Have visited both the Pyramid (town the Russian had for coal mining, now not inhibited, you wrongly showed some pictures of it), and Barentsburg many times. There's alot of connection between Longyearbyen and Barentsburg. We've often visit each other and have cultural events both in Barentsburg and Longyearbyen ☺️

    My family came from Russian and Norwegian sailors. My grandfather actually remembers his father and grandfather could speak in Russian, Norwegian and Russenorsk (which is a language formed from amalgamation of the Russian and Norwegian languages do to trade and intermarriage which existed since the 16th century). Due to the Revolution in Russia my family got split up, some chose to stay in Norway others in Russia and they fully assimilated in the country they stayed in. in. The revolution killed the Russenorsk language as well because the liberal trade between the Russians and Norwegians was banned by Soviets.

Some of them claimed "we dont have any investors/advertisers so that leaves an opening for you!" and they tried to get people to either give them free advertising or invest in them, their main "incentive" being that because no one else had yet that would leave the investor an opening to get in on the ground floor.

    In response to the assertions that climate has always been changing throughout Earth's history, and that the current change is only part of the natural cycle based on changes in solar radiation:
    It’s true that the Earth has a natural cycle of warming and cooling for total average temperature. This cycle lasts roughly 100,000 years, and matches up with the frequency of ice ages (the reason for this is explained in the following section). The cycle consists of a 10,000 year period of rapid warming, followed by 90,000 years of gradual cooling. There are two points that are important to note, however. The first is that historic global temperatures have been very closely linked with CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. During the past eight cycles, the highest record of CO2 concentration was 300 ppm, and the lowest concentration was between 180 and 200 ppm during each ice age (climate.gov). The second is that whenever a relative CO2 maximum is reached, it signals the start of the global cooling process - at least normally. In 1950, the CO2 concentration had already reached 300 ppm. Today, it is at 400 ppm, meaning that in the past 70 years it has increased to double the amount that would be expected in a cycle that normally takes 10,000 years to achieve this change. Regardless of any debate over whether this change is caused by humans, this is not normal. As previously mentioned, the relative maximum in 1950 should have been the beginning of a cooling trend. However, the average temperature has been increasing at a constant rate since 1976, and is currently 0.8°C higher than the average shown by global temperature record from the past 140 years (since the invention of the thermometer). This temperature anomaly is expected to continue growing (climate.gov).
    Regarding an argument that our climate is changing because of the sun: this would refer to the Milankovitch cycle. This cycle has three driving forces that cause the global climate to vary by changing the total amount of energy Earth receives from the Sun, as well as where that energy is absorbed geographically. I will explain how these work, and demonstrate that based on our current point in this periodic cycle, conditions should be heading in the opposite direction than what we are currently seeing. The three parts of the Milankovitch cycle are axial obliquity, axial precession, and orbital eccentricity. Orbital eccentricity is simply the concept that the shape of our orbit around the sun slowly alternates between being closer to a circle, and being more elliptical. Sometimes this is falsely believed to cause the seasons. While it is an important factor, seasons are caused by Earth’s axial obliquity (also called tilt), which changes what parts of the Earth receive the most sunlight over each year. The Northern hemisphere gets more during local summer, and the Southern hemisphere gets more during local winter. The reason orbital shape is important is that it changes how extreme or mild the seasonal changes are. Variation in which way our axis is pointing means that sometimes Earth is tilted toward the sun when it’s closest, but sometimes it’s tilted towards the sun when it is far away. This variation in where our tilt points is called axial precession. These factors combine to form a cycle that alternates from mild seasonal changes to extreme seasonal changes and back again. However, our current position in this cycle predicts that our seasonal variations should have been at their most extreme 10,000 years ago, and that the current trend should be moving towards milder variation. Observed global trends show this is not the case.

      Climate change is real. Of course the Earth is warming up again, it's barely been 150 years since the little Ice Age. Before that was the medieval Warm Period. We are now entering another Warm Period. The Earth is not dying however and the doomsayers are wrong. They were wrong a thousand times before and are wrong now. Climate change is cyclical and happens without our help. Wasn't just 50 years ago the fear of another Ice Age?

      I don't deny climate change exists. It changes all the time, and has ever since Earth developed an atmosphere. I just deny that it's a significant problem that requires drastic action to address in order to avoid some kind of imminent catastrophe. The Earth through most of its natural history was significantly warmer than it is now, and life got by just fine. (From the point of the biosphere, it got by BETTER. There were arboreal forests in Antarctica in the Jurassic and Cretaceous, and it was just as far south then as it is now.) We'd have to make adjustments sure, but it is far from a doomday scenario as many are trying to preach that it is.
