The earth is allegedly in the midst of a 30-year cold spell, as is apparently evident from the early icy spell across many parts of North America, as well as last winter being, “One of the snowiest, coldest, most miserable on record,” according to USA Today.
The man who made the claims is climatologist John L. Casey, who is also a former space shuttle engineer and NASA consultant. According to Casey, who just released a new book entitled, Dark Winter: How the Sun Is Causing a 30-Year Cold Spell, a radical shift in global climate is underway, as the Earth gets colder and colder.
The book alleges that due to diminished solar activity, cooler temperatures, similar to those on record from the early 1800s, cooler temperatures are on the way for the foreseeable future.
Casey told Newsmax about his theory, “All you have to do is trust natural cycles, and follow the facts; and that leads you to the inevitable conclusion that the sun controls the climate, and that a new cold era has begun. The data is pretty solid. If you look at the 100-year global temperature chart, you look at the steep drop off we’ve had since 2007, it’s the steepest drop in global temperatures in the last hundred years.”
Casey believes the theory that global temperatures are directly affected by the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is a false one, and his position is backed up by a number of prominent scientists, such as Russian astrophysicist Habibullo I. Abdussamatov, who has also stated that a new, mini-ice age has begun.
In other words, it’s more a case of global cooling than of global warming.
To Casey’s mind, the theory of global warming is a false one, for a number of different reasons, as he told the publication, “No. 1, the greenhouse-gas theory, and the global climate models that they produced, never permitted a pause. As long as CO2 levels were going up, the only thing that could happen was global temperatures could go up. That has not happened. No. 2, there could absolutely be no cooling, much less a pause. And yet we’ve been cooling for 11 years now.”
If Casey is right, the world is currently preparing for the wrong eventuality, as the predominant view is that of global warming and not global cooling. Nevertheless, Casey warns, “We don’t have 10 years. We’ve squandered during President Obama’s administration eight years… and we didn’t have eight years to squander.”

Climate Reporting Chaos in Oregon

For some reason, I don’t find it surprising that Oregon is a hotbed of climate alarmism. Thus, when the Portland Tribune recently published an article describing how Oregon’s “warmer climate imperils our health,” it seemed appropriate to look further into the claims being made.
Apparently, climate change in Oregon will lead to “less snow on Mount Hood? [but] we can live with that.” Interesting, given how there has been no significant trend in maximum overwinter snowpack on Mount Hood since records began in 1981. Indeed, according to an article in 2012 at ABC News Cleveland, snowpack in the Cascade Mountains has been increasing since the mid-1970s.
The only solution to this crisis is a global socialist command economy run by professors who are smarter than the rest of us.
Well, it’s 12 degrees F in Boise right now, and we got 8” of snow last week on Thursday and Friday (it snowed for 48 hours). We usually have this kind of weather in December and January, and never this much snow!

He’s talking about preparing for some cold years ahead, things we can do in terms of energy, food, etc. For example, restore coal. Coal is a really warm heat.
+1!
Time to dust off this 1977 issue!
Ping.
Bring back FREON!!!!
The Global Wacktivists would probably like to burn this book, but they would probably be afraid it’ll raise the Earth’s temperature ...
Al Gore is deeply saddened.
But...but... every month is hotter than the previous month....the experts say so!
The "Global Warming" scam is not about preventing or preparing for Global Warming; it's about killing most of us and driving the rest back into caves.
Will their be glaciers? Promise me that there will be tons and tons of glaciers.
Hollywood did...
(do I really need a sarcasm tag?)
