    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.

    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.

      And in English as well. Apparently its name was changed to Svalbard in 1925, but at school we were told to call it Spitzbergen ( which has just tripped off nicely in predictive text on my English language phone!)

      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.
