 Competitive Enterprise Institute
Willie Soon will discuss the findings of a new Marshall Institute report, Lessons and Limits of Climate History: Was the 20th Century Climate Unusual?, which shows that the temperature record of the late 20th century was not remarkable relative to that of the past 1,000 years.
The report, authored by the Marshall Institute's Senior Scientists Willie Soon and Sallie Baliunas, challenges frequently made claims that the 20th century was warmer than any other in the millennium, that the 1990s were the warmest decade of the millennium, and that 1998 was the warmest year in the past 1,000 years.
Soon, a research physicist, is also the lead author of a related scientific article, "Reconstructing Climatic and Environmental Changes of the Past 1000 Years: A Re-Appraisal," which was published this spring in the journal Energy and Environment.

 Willie Soon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Willie Soon (Wei-Hock Soon) (born 1966) is an astrophysicist at the Solar and Stellar Physics Division of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
This period is noticeable for its dearth of solar activity, today measured by isotopic records and then, gleaned from eyewitness accounts (of unusual cool and storm activity in the northern hemisphere) and scientific observations.
Soon also co-wrote two popular journal articles with Yaskell, outlining the sun-climate issues of Maunder and wife, Annie S.D. Maunder in an article for Astronomy Now (UK:Oct.1998) and one on stratovolcanic eruptions and weak solar maximums working in tandem to degrade regional earth warmning for the Mercury (US:ASP:2003).

Willie could not help thinking that the garden looked refreshed; the green was brighter, he thought, and the flowers held up their heads a little better; the carrots looked more feathery, and the ferns more palmy; everything looked, he said, just as he felt after a good drink out of the Prior's Well.
Willie kept walking round and round it, as if it had been a wild beast trying to get out of its cage, and he had to watch and prevent it at every weak spot; or as if he were a magician, busily sustaining the charm by which he confined the gadabout creature.

The guerrillas, Willie soon learns, are "absolute maniacs." But caught up, as ever, in the energy of others, Willie stays with them for seven years.
Willie's continual betweenness—a state that makes him, to the guerrillas, a man "who looks at home everywhere"—is the core theme of this novel, and the story is merely the shadow projected by that theme.
At one point, Willie, remarking on the rich London set into which he has been flung, thinks: "These people here don't understand nullity." Naipaul does—he is a modern master of the multiple ironies of resentment, the claustrophobia of the margins.

 Solar Variability and Global Climatic Change Sallie Baliunas and Willie Soon The extent of human impact on climate ...
Figure 3 shows records of the sun's magnetism and of land temperatures of the northern hemisphere over the last 240 years.6(Baliunas and Soon 1995: 896) Note that the shorter, global surface temperature record also shows a significant correlation with the length of the 11-year cycle of solar magnetism (Lassen and Friis-Christensen 1995: 835).
Due to the lack of globally-averaged temperature records, to study the presence of correlations over longer time scales, regional records such as land temperatures for the northern hemisphere must be considered.
There is evidence of a solar change of just this magnitude in a recent report of an observed difference of total solar irradiance between two sunspot-cycle minima-1986 and 1996-that would amount to about 0.4 percent change in irradiance over a century (Willson 1997:1963).

 Wee Willie Shantz / William Shanks / Billie Shanks
It would appear that Wee Willie's real name was William F. Shanks, that he occasionally went by "Billie," and that he lived in the St. Louis, Missouri area in the 1950s and/or 1960s.
In 2000, Wee Willie Shantz gained a bit of notoriety after one of his songs, "Coo Coo Bird," was posted on the website "Oddball Auditorium." [See the original posting via Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.] The extraordinarily strange song spread rapidly through cyberspace, and Wee Willie soon became something of a minor cult figure.
Wee Willie is certainly not singing lead here (and given the relative competence with which the Hanky-Panks handle their instruments, it is doubtful whether Wee Willie numbers among them).
