Willie Soon gets wet
Jo Nova enjoyed Willie Soon’s third hilarious ‘time traveller’ video and gives her own view on the subject of rising sea levels.
People with a good education are hard to fool, which is why the curriculum buries the good stuff until it disappears under a kiloton of culture, engagement and sustainability blah. Then the media (with US government Blob funding) repeats the hypnotic trance line “seas are rising due to climate change” until anyone who was accidentally taught real science, forgets it.
How many children (how many adults) think that sea levels have been the same for a million years? The travesty of 12 years of education is that 99% of people know nothing about 99% of history, and even less about prehistory. Every one of these defenseless souls is so easily fooled into panic attacks about seas rising a millimeter a year. “Unprecedented” they say! Don’t use the hair-dryer!
Willie Soon has some fun in his time machine zipping through ancient Greece and Roman history, where ports were built 6 crazy kilometers from the sea…
As Willie mentioned, it’s awkward that the rise started 100 years before cars, and coal power plants existed.
And after two world wars, 1.5 billion cars and 35 million planes a year, the rate of sea level rise is pretty much the same as it was in 1860 or so. It’s like we are irrelevant…
Tell the children — Australian sea levels have been falling for 7000 years. There are weird clues all over the world. Like giant oysters that used to live in the streets of Taiwan 7,000 years ago. Hundreds of Pacific Islands appeared out of the sea in the last 5,000 years, and didn’t exist during the holocene peak. And 50 million years ago New Zealand was as big as India, then the ocean swallowed Zealandia. (So careless, they lost a whole continent.)
The fact is, according to 1000 tide gauges, spread all over the globe, sea levels are rising slowly at around 1 sole mm a year. And a nerd-level intense study of 60 beaches in Northern Europe showed a similar rise. By a strange coincidence the Topex/Poseidon satellite sea-level data set also showed the same tiny rates of sea level change in the 1990s — right up until they tortured the data to fit climate models. (We hear they calibrated the satellites to one sinking gauge in Hong Kong).

The stark contrast between American resilience and European collapse is a permanent lesson. National security should not be subject to the whims of the weather or the approval of climate activists in European capitals.
AI accurately reconstructs temperatures across Antarctica
Artificial intelligence is increasingly being applied in climate science, with mixed results so far. A new study, however, suggests that deep learning can successfully reconstruct Antarctic surface temperatures despite limited observational data. By combining sparse measurements with reanalysis datasets, the researchers claim to achieve high accuracy—offering new insights into long-term temperature trends across the continent.
Clintel President Václav Klaus warns: “No radical change in Europe in the near future”
We must not be naïve optimists about climate policy and should not overestimate the recent positive signals, like those from President Trump. This is the view of Clintel President Václav Klaus: “Nothing has changed in the European Union. We, with a background in the social sciences, cannot imagine that any radical change will take place in Europe in the near future.” Klaus made these remarks in his speech at the annual meeting of the Norwegian Klimarealistene in Oslo on March 15.
