Sergei Obukhov, deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation:

— Our scientists, thank God, refute all apocalyptic forecasts. But the Western man in the street was completely intimidated by these horror stories. 89 percent of people in the world are afraid of losing their jobs, 74 percent of inflation and 76 percent of nuclear war and climate crisis. Meanwhile, ice in the Arctic has exceeded a 25-year maximum. So we have to live and live until the ice age!

    Here's are scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, they published a peer-reviewed study on cooling in Northern China They reported to have found no evidence of anthropogenic warming, but haven't ruled it out either. They are concerned of a strengthening cooling trend. https://www.sott.net/article/418422-Global-cooling-to-replace-warming-trend-that-started-4000-years-ago-Chinese-scientists
