Planet Earth Allegedly In The Midst Of 30-Year Cold Spell Due To Diminished Solar Activity
Inquisitr ^ | 17 Nov 14

Posted on 11/17/2014 8:34:17 AM PST by xzins

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.”

In the liberal world, it doesn't matter. The fact that there was cold in the movie is all that matters.

Sort of, the ends justify the means mentality.

In the end, it's cold. It doesn't matter how it happens.

"To Casey’s mind, the theory of global warming is a false one, for a number of different reasons, as he told the publication,..."

The situation is becoming very obvious for many at this late stage in the process. Weather patterns have also been relocating, maybe because of recent increases in magnetic field movement and weakening. Soon, the nearest U.S. highway to me will be closed for much of the winter, and the local roads, covered with dunes of ice.

Many left-leaning folks live in mountainous areas and may feel that they're escaping global warming. Are they perhaps mistaken?

Ski towns mostly stay on blue side

Populations tend to migrate more toward the warmer coasts during cooling trends. There's no way of stopping that, although many in real estate and tourism businesses can profit from it.

Oh come on, it was all the global warming liberals praying for a solution to global warming that caused God to cool the Earth. Yeah, that’s it! /s

They’ll never admit it was the Sun that causes heating or cooling of the Earth.

And calling it "Global Warming/Cooling" and TAXING everyone to FIX it is a SENSIBLE realistic solution?

How much intentional "STUPID" can we endure?

Interesting. Many who live in the south or on the coasts continue to imply that anyone who believes that the extended solar minimum is naturally making the climate colder is a lefty, or that going along with the obviousness of the cooling situation will be an agreement with the left. But the anti-competition interests behind the man-made global warming canard are stuck with their more common exclamations about man-caused global warming—not cooling.

Climatologist Casey, like many others in his line of work, argues against the notion of man-made climate change. It’s getting colder. Colder temperatures, like a whip, drive many people to the south and to the coasts. Words won’t stop them from doing so. Most of the people in my area have already moved away.

Did the “climatologists” predict this cold period?

It depends which climatologists you consider. The dominant school of climatology in the Anglosphere (which deserves your scorn quotes) assumes that climate can be predicted by studying general circulation models of the earth's atmosphere, focusing on things like CO2 levels and heat-transfer between atmosphere and ocean. They predicted nothing of the sort.

The dominant school of climatology in Russian and Denmark looks at solar activity as the main determinant of global temperature, both total solar irradiance and solar magnetism (which matters because cosmic ray strikes seed cloud formation, which has a cooling effect -- less solar magnetism means less shielding from cosmic rays, more cloud formation and cooler temperature -- this the the causal link, discovered by H. Svensmark, that explains the correlation between sunspot number and global temperature). They predicted this, and the 30 year cool period is the least extreme of the possible futures they are predicting: the other end is a full-on ice age.

Carbon credits to offset it! And more solar panels !

they work so well under snow here.

In the Newsmax version of this article, Casey speculates that cooling could be part of the reason Putin wants Ukraine — that Russia has in the past heavily depended on Ukraine’s wheat when cold periods occurred, and crops in Russia failed. Wouldn’t that be interesting, if indeed Russia did come to need Ukraine wheat as much as Ukraine needs Russian gas...

Weather update. This morning, 11/18/2014, every state including Floriduh and supposedly Obozo's birthstate have temps below freezing. Obozo is Grubering Gorebull Warming!

I was just out splitting firewood. Cold, cold day in mid November for southern ohio.

Global climate change means low solar activity is making it colder.

Why is that so hard to comprehend for liberals?

That is a simple and prove able concept versus the Gorebull Warming BS which is PC and a disaster for any country that buys into it.

You know that they were predicting deserts in the mid-west harming women, rising ocean levels and flooding killing the poor and minorities.
Pure doomage. Owebowma will take credit for that not happening. I remember him telling people about how the oceans would cease to rise and a light would shine in the window and they would hear a voice telling them to vote for Owebowma.
