The world is ill-prepared for the global crash in children being born which is set to have a “ jaw-dropping ” impact on societies , say researchers .
Falling fertility rates mean nearly every country could have shrinking populations by the end of the century .

‘Jaw-dropping’ global crash in birth rate
Written by James Gallagher
The world is ill-prepared for the global crash in children being born which is set to have a “jaw-dropping” impact on societies, say researchers.
Falling fertility rates mean nearly every country could have shrinking populations by the end of the century. And 23 nations – including Spain and Japan – are expected to see their populations halve by 2100.
Countries will also age dramatically, with as many people turning 80 as there are being born.
What is going on?
The fertility rate – the average number of children a woman gives birth to – is falling. If the number falls below approximately 2.1, then the size of the population starts to fall. In 1950, women were having an average of 4.7 children in their lifetime.
Researchers at the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation showed the global fertility rate nearly halved to 2.4 in 2017 – and their study, published in the Lancet, projects it will fall below 1.7 by 2100.
As a result, the researchers expect the number of people on the planet to peak at 9.7 billion around 2064, before falling down to 8.8 billion by the end of the century.
“That’s a pretty big thing; most of the world is transitioning into natural population decline,” researcher Prof Christopher Murray told the BBC.
“I think it’s incredibly hard to think this through and recognise how big a thing this is; it’s extraordinary, we’ll have to reorganise societies.”
Why are fertility rates falling?
It has nothing to do with sperm counts or the usual things that come to mind when discussing fertility.
Instead it is being driven by more women in education and work, as well as greater access to contraception, leading to women choosing to have fewer children. In many ways, falling fertility rates are a success story.
Which countries will be most affected?
Japan’s population is projected to fall from a peak of 128 million in 2017 to less than 53 million by the end of the century.
Italy is expected to see an equally dramatic population crash from 61 million to 28 million over the same timeframe.
They are two of 23 countries – which also include Spain, Portugal, Thailand and South Korea – expected to see their population more than halve.
“That is jaw-dropping,” Prof Christopher Murray told me.
China, currently the most populous nation in the world, is expected to peak at 1.4 billion in four years time before nearly halving to 732 million by 2100. India will take its place.
The UK is predicted to peak at 75 million in 2063, and fall to 71 million by 2100.

However, this will be a truly global issue, with 183 out of 195 countries having a fertility rate below the replacement level.
Why is this a problem?
You might think this is great for the environment. A smaller population would reduce carbon emissions as well as deforestation for farmland.
“That would be true except for the inverted age structure (more old people than young people) and all the uniformly negative consequences of an inverted age structure,” says Prof Murray.

The study projects:
The number of under-fives will fall from 681 million in 2017 to 401 million in 2100.
The number of over 80-year-olds will soar from 141 million in 2017 to 866 million in 2100.
Prof Murray adds: “It will create enormous social change. It makes me worried because I have an eight-year-old daughter and I wonder what the world will be like.”
Who pays tax in a massively aged world? Who pays for healthcare for the elderly? Who looks after the elderly? Will people still be able to retire from work?
“We need a soft landing,” argues Prof Murray.
Are there any solutions?
Countries, including the UK, have used migration to boost their population and compensate for falling fertility rates.
However, this stops being the answer once nearly every country’s population is shrinking.
“We will go from the period where it’s a choice to open borders, or not, to frank competition for migrants, as there won’t be enough,” argues Prof Murray.
Some countries have tried policies such as enhanced maternity and paternity leave, free childcare, financial incentives and extra employment rights, but there is no clear answer.
Sweden has dragged its fertility rate up from 1.7 to 1.9, but other countries that have put significant effort into tackling the “baby bust” have struggled. Singapore still has a fertility rate of around 1.3.
Prof Murray says: “I find people laugh it off; they can’t imagine it could be true, they think women will just decide to have more kids.
“If you can’t [find a solution] then eventually the species disappears, but that’s a few centuries away.”
The researchers warn against undoing the progress on women’s education and access to contraception.
Prof Stein Emil Vollset said: “Responding to population decline is likely to become an overriding policy concern in many nations, but must not compromise efforts to enhance women’s reproductive health or progress on women’s rights.”
What about Africa?
The population of sub-Saharan Africa is expected to treble in size to more than three billion people by 2100. And the study says Nigeria will become the world’s second biggest country, with a population of 791 million. Prof Murray says: “We will have many more people of African descent in many more countries as we go through this.
“Global recognition of the challenges around racism are going to be all the more critical if there are large numbers of people of African descent in many countries.”
Why is 2.1 the fertility rate threshold?
You might think the number should be 2.0 – two parents have two children, so the population stays the same size.
But even with the best healthcare, not all children survive to adulthood. Also, babies are ever so slightly more likely to be male. It means the replacement figure is 2.1 in developed countries. Nations with higher childhood mortality also need a higher fertility rate.

principiascientificinternational--2020-07-20--6 Billion Dead is Their Target. Here’s How They Do It

6 Billion Dead is Their Target .
Here ’ s How They Do It There are people around who believe that if we all wear masks , obey the social distancing laws and become true slaves to the system , then everything will be back to normal by Christmas at the latest .
In the last 24 hours I have read , and been dismayed by , three articles by writers who believe that if we all behave properly , and do exactly as we are told to do , the coronavirus will slink off and all will be well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ economy beginning to boom and the world well on its way to a recovery .
There are even some who were shocked at the suggestion that taxes will rise dramatically in the next 12 months or so .
Where do these people think the money came from – the money that an ex Goldman Sachs , currently the UK Chancellor , was throwing around with such gay abandon .
Of course , they add as a rider , we won ’ t be able to forget about social distancing , and we may @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the vaccine is ready , but everything will be normal apart from that .
I wonder what these people have inside their skulls .
Porridge ?
Those little white polystyrene balls that are used for packaging ?
Bubble wrap ?
They certainly don ’ t have brains .
The people now planning to rule the world , a group of billionaires and would-be billionaires who I will , for ease , refer to as the enemy , have decided that there are too many people in the world and that the earth would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ total were reduced to around 500,000,000 .
Since the current population is around 7 billion that means that at least 6 billion of us are surplus to requirements , unnecessary , not wanted on voyage .
Since their ambition has a convincingly eugenic flavour they will presumably want to get rid of the weak and the poor and the elderly and the frail .
So how are they going to do that ?
Well , the ignorant , scare mongering climate change nutters have done some of their work for those who want @ @ @ @ @ @ @ idiots who believe in man-made global warming are helping the enemy enormously .
Cutting back on our use of oil and gas will kill hundreds of millions who will die of hunger and cold .
And I have no doubt that the enemy will manage another plandemic .
The abominable Gates and his wife have already said that people will pay attention when the next pandemic arrives .
And I thought they both smirked very knowingly when Bill made this prediction .
They could just say that the coronavirus which caused Covid-19 had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pig virus or a cuckoo virus or maybe a virus from the Gates family – something unpleasant .
It wouldn ’ t really need to be something too nasty .
After all , a really bad virus might kill off some of the billionaires .
I rather suspect that we are going to have more alleged virus health calamities coming up .
If it isn ’ t the coronavirus in a pre-ordained second wave it will be something else .
If they can make up one crisis then they can , and will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it needs is good marketing , and organisations like the BBC will provide all the myths and fake news that the enemy will need .
The BBC , The Guardian and the Daily Mail could turn tapioca into a deadly threat .
Of course , the plan to reduce the global population is already doing well .
The enemy has got everyone social distancing .
And that is known to cause illness and to kill people .
The CIA reckon that social distancing is one of the most powerful weapons there is for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ managed to murder huge numbers in the care homes and they have killed vast numbers of the sick by closing down hospitals for absolutely no good reason .
They put everyone under house arrest – and isolation damages the immune system .
Prisoners of War have confirmed that isolation does more damage than physical torture .
Stress and anxiety affect the immune system too .
The masks will kill quite a few people too .
It ’ s well known that they reduce blood oxygen levels , and those with respiratory and cardiac @ @ @ @ @ @ @ true that surgeons wear masks but the circumstances are entirely different .
Women ’ s movement enthusiasts used to burn their bras .
Perhaps , we should burn our masks – in an environmentally acceptable way , of course .
Even the sanitising gel they insist we use a dozen times a day will kill some people .
( If you haven ’ t seen it , watch my video on hand sanitisers .
Or read the script on this website . )
And then there is the cold in the winter months @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and there are going to be electricity outages .
Many will freeze to death in the winter months .
But I think their biggest weapon is food .
That ’ s how they are going to bring the population crashing right down .
Food shortages are coming and the cost of food is going to rise even faster than it has been doing .
And it isn ’ t because of global warming or whatever other lies they tell you – it is , however , a side effect of the coronavirus hoax @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in short supply .
The price of the world ’ s most important staple food – rice – has risen by 70 % .
Food prices in the US have recently seen a historic jump and are , I believe , destined to stay high and go higher .
Countries which have good food production are halting their exports .
Vietnam , for example , has stopped exporting because they need their food supplies at home .
And you can not blame them .
Some authorities condemn it as nationalism but all countries @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do much the same .
And it is the managed over-reaction to a virus known to be no more dangerous than the flu that is causing the problem – and that will result in millions of deaths to add to the millions who are going to die as a result of the lockdowns .
The global death rate because of the food shortage is going to be measured in hundreds of millions – and eventually in billions .
Africa and Asia are going to see the worst levels of starvation ever seen .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ some grain will flog it to America – despite massive starvation .
Black lives matter protestors , who have been manipulated by professionals , would be wise to forget about Cecil Rhodes ’ s statue , and where they ’ d like to see it placed , and concentrate instead on helping Africans who are going to be subjected to the worst genocide in history .
So , how is the coronavirus scandal responsible for the food shortages that are coming ?
Processing plants and distribution centres all around the world have been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to this fairly ordinary virus .
Around the world more and more testing is being done .
And although the tests are about as trustworthy as Gates , Clinton and Soros – your local purveyors of fear and death – they are treated with undeserved reverence .
Curiously , it seems to me that farms and food distribution centres are being tested more than , say , civil servants or tax officials .
This is odd because the chances of the virus being carried on food are roughly the same as the chance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And so if one worker on a farm or in a warehouse falls ill with flu like symptoms then the authorities will close down that farm or the warehouse .
Delivery systems have been massively affected as drivers are sent home for two weeks and all their colleagues sent home for two weeks too .
As a result , huge crops of vegetables and fruit are being ploughed into the ground .
Millions of animals are being slaughtered and then buried or burnt because the supply chains have been shut down .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ importing beef because of the shortages .
The world lockdown , and the mass house arrests that were engineered to keep us all subservient , mean that thousands of farmers can not get their crops picked .
Fruit in particular is likely to rot in the fields , and tankers full of milk are being poured away .
Controls on transport have meant that it has been difficult to move food from where there is a glut to where there is a dearth .
It would have been easy for governments to insist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crops but they didn ’ t do so .
And why would they ?
The plan is to eradicate the poor and the weak .
And the unsurprising consequence of all this is that there are going to be massive shortages of fruit and vegetables , and prices are going to rocket .
In the UK , the most toxic of the Remainers , the fascist EU loving lunatics , bigoted , soaked in their own prejudices and consumed by ignorance , will blame Brexit for the shortages .
But then , if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their keys they blame Brexit .
In the US , the media will doubtless blame Trump for the food shortages .
Sadly for them all , the shortages will be global .
All around the world there will be a shortage of almost all foods .
This isn ’ t the sort of fear-porn favoured by irresponsible main stream media giants such as the EU and Gates supported BBC .
Other factors are going to ensure that the shortage just gets worse .
If and when the economy is allowed to stutter into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will doubtless eventually rise because the existing supplies are diminishing rapidly and most oil companies have pretty well given up exploration .
The rising price of oil will mean that farming and transportation costs will rise and that will push up the price of food still further .
I tell you this not to scare you but because when you know something is happening you can do something about it .
You may think it is worthwhile building up your stocks of long-dated food staples such as rice and pasta .
Dried and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ good .
As you eat your stocks , replace them with more .
Governments tell us not to store stuff but the military don ’ t buy bullets the day they need them , do they ?
If you have a garden and can grow your favourite vegetables or fruit that ’ s probably a good idea but watch that no one climbs over your fence and steals them .

6 Billion Dead is Their Target. Here’s How They Do It
Written by Dr Vernon Coleman MB ChB DSc FRSA
There are people around who believe that if we all wear masks, obey the social distancing laws and become true slaves to the system, then everything will be back to normal by Christmas at the latest.
In the last 24 hours I have read, and been dismayed by, three articles by writers who believe that if we all behave properly, and do exactly as we are told to do, the coronavirus will slink off and all will be well with everyone back at work, the economy beginning to boom and the world well on its way to a recovery.
There are even some who were shocked at the suggestion that taxes will rise dramatically in the next 12 months or so. Where do these people think the money came from – the money that an ex Goldman Sachs, currently the UK Chancellor, was throwing around with such gay abandon.
Of course, they add as a rider, we won’t be able to forget about social distancing, and we may have to keep on our masks until the vaccine is ready, but everything will be normal apart from that.

They certainly don’t have brains.
The people now planning to rule the world, a group of billionaires and would-be billionaires who I will, for ease, refer to as the enemy, have decided that there are too many people in the world and that the earth would be more comfortable for them if the total were reduced to around 500,000,000.
Since the current population is around 7 billion that means that at least 6 billion of us are surplus to requirements, unnecessary, not wanted on voyage. Since their ambition has a convincingly eugenic flavour they will presumably want to get rid of the weak and the poor and the elderly and the frail.
So how are they going to do that?
Well, the ignorant, scare mongering climate change nutters have done some of their work for those who want us dead. The brainwashed children and idiots who believe in man-made global warming are helping the enemy enormously. Cutting back on our use of oil and gas will kill hundreds of millions who will die of hunger and cold.
And I have no doubt that the enemy will manage another plandemic.
The abominable Gates and his wife have already said that people will pay attention when the next pandemic arrives. And I thought they both smirked very knowingly when Bill made this prediction.
It wouldn’t be difficult.
They could just say that the coronavirus which caused Covid-19 had mutated. Or they could blame a pig virus or a cuckoo virus or maybe a virus from the Gates family – something unpleasant.
It wouldn’t really need to be something too nasty. After all, a really bad virus might kill off some of the billionaires.
I rather suspect that we are going to have more alleged virus health calamities coming up. If it isn’t the coronavirus in a pre-ordained second wave it will be something else. If they can make up one crisis then they can, and will, make up many more.
All it needs is good marketing, and organisations like the BBC will provide all the myths and fake news that the enemy will need.
The BBC, The Guardian and the Daily Mail could turn tapioca into a deadly threat.
Of course, the plan to reduce the global population is already doing well.
The enemy has got everyone social distancing. And that is known to cause illness and to kill people. The CIA reckon that social distancing is one of the most powerful weapons there is for controlling large numbers of people.
They managed to murder huge numbers in the care homes and they have killed vast numbers of the sick by closing down hospitals for absolutely no good reason.

Food shortages are coming and the cost of food is going to rise even faster than it has been doing. And it isn’t because of global warming or whatever other lies they tell you – it is, however, a side effect of the coronavirus hoax.
All around the world food is in short supply. The price of the world’s most important staple food – rice – has risen by 70%. Food prices in the US have recently seen a historic jump and are, I believe, destined to stay high and go higher. Countries which have good food production are halting their exports. Vietnam, for example, has stopped exporting because they need their food supplies at home. And you cannot blame them.

So, how is the coronavirus scandal responsible for the food shortages that are coming?
That’s easy to explain.
Processing plants and distribution centres all around the world have been deliberately severely disrupted by the massive over-reaction to this fairly ordinary virus.
Around the world more and more testing is being done. And although the tests are about as trustworthy as Gates, Clinton and Soros – your local purveyors of fear and death – they are treated with undeserved reverence. Curiously, it seems to me that farms and food distribution centres are being tested more than, say, civil servants or tax officials. This is odd because the chances of the virus being carried on food are roughly the same as the chance that the moon is made of cheese.
And so if one worker on a farm or in a warehouse falls ill with flu like symptoms then the authorities will close down that farm or the warehouse. Delivery systems have been massively affected as drivers are sent home for two weeks and all their colleagues sent home for two weeks too.
As a result, huge crops of vegetables and fruit are being ploughed into the ground. Millions of animals are being slaughtered and then buried or burnt because the supply chains have been shut down. America, almost unbelievably, has been importing beef because of the shortages.
The world lockdown, and the mass house arrests that were engineered to keep us all subservient, mean that thousands of farmers cannot get their crops picked. Fruit in particular is likely to rot in the fields, and tankers full of milk are being poured away. Controls on transport have meant that it has been difficult to move food from where there is a glut to where there is a dearth. It would have been easy for governments to insist that furloughed workers should help pick the crops but they didn’t do so. And why would they? The plan is to eradicate the poor and the weak.
And the unsurprising consequence of all this is that there are going to be massive shortages of fruit and vegetables, and prices are going to rocket.
In the UK, the most toxic of the Remainers, the fascist EU loving lunatics, bigoted, soaked in their own prejudices and consumed by ignorance, will blame Brexit for the shortages. But then, if they develop a bald spot or lose their keys they blame Brexit.
In the US, the media will doubtless blame Trump for the food shortages.
Sadly for them all, the shortages will be global.
All around the world there will be a shortage of almost all foods.
This isn’t the sort of fear-porn favoured by irresponsible main stream media giants such as the EU and Gates supported BBC.
This is real.
Other factors are going to ensure that the shortage just gets worse.
If and when the economy is allowed to stutter into action again, the price of oil will doubtless eventually rise because the existing supplies are diminishing rapidly and most oil companies have pretty well given up exploration.
The rising price of oil will mean that farming and transportation costs will rise and that will push up the price of food still further.
I tell you this not to scare you but because when you know something is happening you can do something about it.
You may think it is worthwhile building up your stocks of long-dated food staples such as rice and pasta. Dried and tinned foods which have long dates are good. As you eat your stocks, replace them with more.
Governments tell us not to store stuff but the military don’t buy bullets the day they need them, do they? If you have a garden and can grow your favourite vegetables or fruit that’s probably a good idea but watch that no one climbs over your fence and steals them.

New Study Exposes Hidden Cost Of ‘De-carbonizing’ Our Economy
Written by Dr Benny Peiser
The UK faces a £200 billion bill to rewire the country if the government follows through on plans to electrify the country’s homes and transport systems.
That’s because the installation of electric car chargers and heat pumps will push up demand for power beyond the capacity of the existing wiring.
The findings are set out in a new report from the Global Warming Policy Foundation, which was published last week.
According to author Mike Travers, this will mean that most streets in the UK will need to be dug up (with diesel-driven machinery):
“At present, new home car chargers and heat pumps are using up all the spare capacity. But we will soon reach the point where the network will not be able to handle the extra demand. So in towns and cities, the underground cables which carry the power will be inadequate. That means that we are going to have to dig up almost every urban street and many rural ones too. The whole distribution grid is going to need to be replaced.”
And the cables that carry power into the homes will need to be dug up too.
According to Travers:
“The power cables taking electricity into your home probably run underneath your front drive. So if you want a car charger and a heat pump you are going to have to pay to dig it up. If you have an expensive monoblock drive, that will not be cheap. Distribution boards, main fuses, and smart meters in homes are going to have to be upgraded too.”
Travers has estimated the cost of all this work at around £200 billion, even before considering the cost caused by the disruption. “Many homeowners will be paying thousands”, he says.
Summary
Plans to decarbonize the economy will probably require homeowners to install:
• heat pumps
• electric vehicle charging points
• electric showers
• other electric devices.
The extra demand for electricity will overwhelm most domestic fuses, thus requiring homeowners to install new ones, as well as circuit-breakers and new distribution boards.
Most will also have to rewire between their main fuse and the distribution network.
In urban areas, where most electrical cabling is underground, this will involve paying for a trench to be dug between the home and the feeder circuits in the street.
In addition, increased demand along a street will mean that the distribution network will need to be upgraded too. This will involve installing larger cables and replacing distribution transformers with larger ones.
Most urban streets will need to be dug up. In rural areas, where electricity is normally carried on overhead cables, it may be possible to just replace the wires, but it is more likely that cabling will have to be buried instead.
The cost to the country of rewiring alone will probably exceed £200 billion, or over £7,000 per household. This figure excludes the cost of new equipment, such as EV chargers, heat pumps, and electric showers.

principiascientificinternational--2020-07-20--Biometric Tagging Cult Among Winners from ‘Pandemic’

Never let a good crisis go to waste .
This must surely be the motto of the peddlers of biometric tagging so governments can track your every move .
Chris Burt over at www.biometricupdate.com explains why he and his ilk are licking their lips as techno-fascism descends upon the world : When nearly all work , transactions , education , and everything else began being conducted from remote by necessity due to the pandemic , strong authentication and biometrics became relied on as never before by numerous people and businesses .
The way people work and study may have changed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the biometrics and digital identity market are even less certain .

Whether due to the novel coronavirus we will be scanned by facial recognition and fever-checking systems as we show our immunity passports in 2021 , or will simply be authenticated with passive biometrics as we log-in from home remains to be seen .
It is commonly held that in business disruption creates winners and losers .
Most biometrics companies look to be in the former camp .

Never let a good crisis go to waste. This must surely be the motto of the peddlers of biometric tagging so governments can track your every move. Chris Burt over at www.biometricupdate.com explains why he and his ilk are licking their lips as techno-fascism descends upon the world:
When nearly all work, transactions, education, and everything else began being conducted from remote by necessity due to the pandemic, strong authentication and biometrics became relied on as never before by numerous people and businesses. The way people work and study may have changed indefinitely, but many other impacts on the biometrics and digital identity market are even less certain.
The unprecedented situation raised a number of questions for Biometric Update. Among them: How would fraud be affected by the increase in remote interactions? How can privacy be preserved when everyone needs to establish trust online?
What are voice support services doing, now that they have more work to do, and cannot do it from their specially-equipped call centers?
Do new kinds of interactions place new emphasis on continuous authentication? If new facial recognition systems will be used for workplaces and public spaces, will they be based on 2D or 3D imaging?
Underlying it all was a pair of related questions: What can the industry do to help? And how will the market landscape be changed?
A half-dozen industry experts provide many answers, though admittedly also some additional questions.
Experian Head of Global Identity and Fraud Product Innovation Mike Gross explains the difference observed in the company’s pre-COVID survey between being able to log-in a credential and truly recognizing a user, which has implications for fraud control and personalization.
He also pointed out the radically changed phishing landscape. Changed phishing tactics were also noted by Pindrop CEO Vijay Balasubramanian, who was able to put some numbers to the impact on interactions through the voice channel, and adoption of voice biometrics.
Attempting to scale authentication systems for remote work exposed the limitations of legacy systems, Nok Nok Labs CEO Phil Dunkelberger argues. Luckily, according to him, the way to scale efficiently is also the way to protect user privacy, which is leveraging user devices with the FIDO protocol.
BehavioSec VP of Products Jordan Blake says that timelines for adoption are moving up, and new verticals are interested in adopting behavioral biometrics. Not only that, organizations are looking for more advanced features in authentication, such as continuity.
3D cameras are not only well-suited to distance tracking, but make the development of advanced computer vision functions easier in general, according to Orbbec CEO David Chen. The technology is ready for the opportunity which may be thrust upon it, he says.
Finally, Goode Intelligence CEO and Chief Analyst Alan Goode gives his perspective on the impact the pandemic will have on the markets contact and contactless fingerprint biometrics, the new attention on digital ID, and the chance for the industry to benefit society.
There seems to be a consensus that there is a new baseline volume of remote authentications which will remain with us. Passive, continuous, and decentralized options for authentication are not just available, but helping organizations cope now. There is also a consensus that adoption of biometrics will increase from its already-rapid pace, as the general trend, like specific industry trends, are accelerated by the forced evolution of responding to COVID-19.
Whether due to the novel coronavirus we will be scanned by facial recognition and fever-checking systems as we show our immunity passports in 2021, or will simply be authenticated with passive biometrics as we log-in from home remains to be seen. It is commonly held that in business disruption creates winners and losers. Most biometrics companies look to be in the former camp.

Solar Orbiter: Closest ever pictures taken of the Sun
Written by Jonathan Amos

New pictures of the Sun taken just 77 million km (48 million miles) from its surface are the closest ever acquired by cameras. They come from the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter (SolO) probe, which was launched earlier this year.
Among the UK-assembled craft’s novel insights are views of mini-flares dubbed “camp fires”. These are millionths of the size of the Sun’s giant flares that are routinely observed by Earth telescopes.
Whether these miniature versions are driven by the same mechanisms, though, is unclear. But these small flares could be involved in the mysterious heating process that makes the star’s outer atmosphere, or corona, far hotter than its surface.
“The Sun has a relatively cool surface of about 5,500 degrees and is surrounded by a super-hot atmosphere of more than a million degrees,” explained Esa project scientist Daniel Müller.
“There’s a theory put forward by the great US physicist Eugene Parker, who conjectured that if you should have a vast number of tiny flares this might account for an omnipresent heating mechanism that could make the corona hot.”
Whatever their role, the camp fires are certainly small – which may explain why they’ve been missed up to this point, says David Berghmans, from the Royal Observatory of Belgium and the principal investigator on the probe’s Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI).
“The smallest ones are a couple of our pixels. A pixel corresponds to 400km – that’s the spatial resolution. So they’re about the size of some European countries,” he told reporters. “There may be smaller ones.”

The European Space Agency (Esa) satellite was despatched on a rocket from Cape Canaveral in the US in February. Its mission is to reveal the secrets of our star’s dynamic behaviour.
The Sun’s emissions have profound impacts at Earth that go far beyond just providing light and warmth.
Often, they are disruptive; outbursts of charged particles with their entrained magnetic fields will trip electronics on satellites and degrade radio communications. SolO could help scientists better predict this interference.
“The recent situation with coronavirus has proved how important it is to stay connected, and satellites are part of that connectivity,” said Caroline Harper, the head of space science at the UK Space Agency. “So, it really is important that we learn more about the Sun so that we can predict its weather, its space weather, in the same ways we’ve learned how to do (with weather) here on Earth.”
Image copyright SOLAR ORBITER/EUI TEAM; PHI TEAM/ESA & NASA Image caption Solar Orbiter’s suite of instruments will allow it to untangle the details of what drives the Sun’s dynamic behaviour. Sensors can pick out the different layers of the star’s atmosphere and track its twisting magnetic fields
Solar Orbiter has been set on a series of loops around the Sun that will gradually take it closer still – ultimately to a separation of less than 43 million km. That will put SolO inside the orbit of the planet Mercury.
The pictures showcased on Thursday come from the most recent near pass, known as perihelion. This occurred in mid-June, inside the orbit of Venus.
For comparison, Earth sits about 149 million km (93 million miles) on average from the Sun.
Image copyright SOLAR ORBITER/EUI TEAM (ESA & NASA) Image caption At a particular wavelength of light known as Lyman-alpha, the EUI will pick out the hydrogen in the Sun’s lower atmosphere (chromosphere). Temperatures in this region are 10,000 to 100,000 degrees
To be clear: while the new images have been taken from the closest ever vantage point, they are not the highest resolution ever acquired. The largest solar telescopes on Earth will always beat SolO on that measure.
But the probe’s holistic approach, using the combination of six remote sensing instruments and four in-situ instruments, puts it on a different level.
Esa’s senior advisor for science & exploration, Mark McCaughrean, told BBC News: “Solar Orbiter isn’t going closer to the Sun just to get higher-resolution images: it’s going closer to get into a different, less turbulent part of the solar wind, studying the particles and magnetic field in situ at that closer distance, while simultaneously taking remote data on the surface of the Sun and immediately around it for context. No other mission or telescope can do that.”
It will be a couple of years yet before Solar Orbiter makes the first of its very close encounters with the Sun (at a distance of 48 million km).
As the mission progresses, SolO will, with the gravitational assistance of Venus, also lift itself out of the plane of the planets so that it can more easily see the Sun’s poles. “Terra incognita”, as Sami Solanki, from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research and PI on Solo’s Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager, likes to call these regions.

Holly Gilbert, the Solar Orbiter project scientist at the US space agency, Esa’s major partner on the mission, enthused about the science ahead.

These reports show crop yields have been booming and hunger and malnutrition declining as, and in large part because, carbon dioxide concentrations have been rising.
Following the Democratic playbook per Rahm Emmanuel of “never letting a crisis go to waste,” radical climate alarmists have also manipulated science to assert climate change is making pandemics more frequent and deadlier.
Dozens of media outlets, including Jurist Legal, the Los Angeles Times, MSNBC, and Time magazine published articles during the midst of the coronavirus pandemic claiming human-caused climate change, if not already making the incidences of pandemics more likely, would make them more frequent and more deadly in the future.
For instance, an article in Pro-Publica blatantly lied when it stated, “vector-borne diseases—those carried by insects like mosquitoes and ticks and transferred in the blood of infected people—are also on the rise as warming weather and erratic precipitation vastly expand the geographic regions vulnerable to contagion.”
The body of scientific literature, as detailed in Chapter Four of Climate Change Reconsidered II: Fossil Fuels shows there is no factual basis for this claim.
Studies from Africa, to England and Wales, to North and South America, to Thailand and beyond find any link between human climate change and the spread of malaria, Dengue fever, West Nile virus, and other vector-borne diseases, either grossly overstated or outright false.
Indeed, historically, colder periods are linked to famine, as crops fail, and the rapid spread of pandemics, like the bubonic plague that ran rampant during the little ice age.
By contrast, pandemics typically wane, though not disappear, and hunger and malnutrition decline sharply during relatively warm periods.

Albert Einstein once said, “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.” Sadly, climate researchers would be canceling Einstein for saying that today.
There is an old adage in legal circles, “When the law is on your side, pound the law; when the facts are on your side, pound the facts; when neither is on your side, pound the table.”
For three decades, climate alarmists have been pounding the table. They hold rallies carrying placards and wearing t-shirts that say “Believe Science,” even as their actions betray science.
Too many climate scientists have become sideshow hucksters hoping to sell the general public the dangerous notion that giving government experts greater control over our lives will allow us to control the weather, and make the world a utopia.
