Even as one of the severest winters sets in with its icy clutch on the northern hemisphere, the climatologist John L. Casey points out that the "weather pattern is here to stay for decades to come," according to Newsmax.com.

John L Casey, earlier a space shuttle engineer and NASA consultant, will soon release a book titld "Dark Winter: How the Sun Is Causing a 30-Year Cold Spell," which explains that a major shift in global climate will be happen soon. Even last winter was "one of the snowiest, coldest, most miserable on record," as USA Today has commented. Now, unless the scientific and political community takes quick action, the earth will throw in its coldest days, according to artbell.com.

The main reason is "solar minimum" or reduced solar activity with less solar flares and sunspots. Casey says that temperatures as seen in the late 1700s and early 1800s can be expected. Hence, the book anticipates that it will begin a 30-year era of cold. The temperatures will almost freeze and shortages in food would create complete chaos. The sun is going to enter a phase of reduced activity, which he characterised as "solar hibernation." Oceanic and atmospheric temperatures too are going to decline. It would even lead to greater volcanic activity and earthquakes.

As the president of the Space and Science Research Corp., an Orlando, Florida, climate research firm, describes it, all the world has to do is "trust natural cycles and follow the facts." The world will inevitably understand then that it is the sun that controls the climate, and a new cold era has started.

Explaining that the world is gearing up for "the wrong calamity" with the global warming theory, Casey anticipates that the worst of the cycle will be in the "late 2020s and the early 2030s." With the fall in temperatures, there will be "food riots," increased demands for heating oil and a squeeze on ethanol due to the failure of the corn crop. The U.S. might even ban the export of agricultural products in order to keep its citizens from starving. In fact, Russia might be currently interested in taking over Ukraine as it produces wheat and may supply Russia's needs like a wheat basket, according to inquisitr.

The global warming theory is not accurate because for more than a decade, the oceans have shown reduced temperatures. Since 2007, the atmosphere too has been cooling rapidly. Hence, the "data is pretty solid." Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are not affecting the global temperatures. Countering that theory, Casey pointed out that with the rise in carbon-dioxide levels, global temperatures can only rise, which has not happened. Secondly, it cannot permit "cooling" that has been happening for a decade.

Noted Russian astrophysicist, Habibullo I. Abdussamatov, in fact, is arguing that "a new mini-ice age has begun," which is going further than even what Casey suggests. Casey shares Abdussamatov's finding that global climate is driven by solar activity or sunspots, which "correspond to shifts in global temperature with a greater than 90 percent accuracy," according to him.

"There is no human on earth, much less here in the U.S., who has experienced the depth and duration of cold we're about to experience - it's that serious," he says.
