Planet Earth Allegedly In The Midst Of 30-Year Cold Spell Due To Diminished Solar Activity

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.”
