Are you ready for 30 years of colder temps, much colder... ?
Climatologist: 30-Year Cold Spell Strikes Earth
Something in my brain has had me buying wool and fleece in the face of all the global cooling hype. Time to buy another parka...

I guess we'll see... time to set up a greenhouse...

Wool is an investment. Durable, fire retardant/proof. Keeps you warm when wet. I troll the military surplus stores and pick up every wool blanket I can get. My scouts use them a lot!

This was the hottest year in the span in which humans have had the ability to measure temperatures, so color me skeptical. When a few thousand more climate scientists review his data and agree I'll take it more seriously.

Until then though nothing wrong with wool when it's cold. cool

Mr Casey's qualifications are thin at best. He is "a space shuttle engineer", and also has a BS in Physics and an MA in Management. He apparently has never published a single paper in a mainstream, peer reviewed, climate journal. He is also head of the "International Earthquake and Volcano Prediction Center which is headquarted in Orlando Florida. (Florida being ideally located to study earthquake and volcanic activity. wink )

For another take on Mr Casey see this.

There has been well known cold periods before in medieval European history, which has caused mass starvation from crop failures, which led to populations throughout Europe susceptible to the Black Death in the 14th century .

The lack of burning carbon in the pre industrial age (lack of anthropogenic global warming to compensate for the cold period) led to the death of nearly 50% of the European population. wink

This is not science. Casey is some sort of fringe dude. The highest degree he ever earned was a masters in management.

No worries, 30 years of cold aren't coming.

Maybe we should encourage greenhouse gasses (and therefore anthropogenic global warming) to compensate for the postulated coming 30 year cold period. Maybe we need to burn more coal. cool

I personally do not know if the next few decades will be warmer or colder, I do know that there is disagreement. I've also read reports that indicated the numbers supporting GW were "fudged". That disparity tells me to cover the possibility of a cooling trend as well the much more discussed global warming.

Well when I burn the driftwood in a beach fire washed up from the river Tay Estuary, I sometimes think to myself 'Blood and Gore, You've missed out on a few pennies commission on your fraudulent Carbon Cycle trading exchange' because if they continue to get away from it, then the next controlled fraud exchange will be the water you drink.

And you're taking advice on this matter from someone with a master's in management? Man, I have a surgery I need him to perform.
