Changes in the Sun’s Surface to Bring Next Climate Change
January 2, 2008
Today, the Space and Science Research Center, (SSRC) in Orlando, Florida announces that it has confirmed the recent web announcement of NASA solar physicists that there are substantial changes occurring in the sun’s surface. The SSRC has further researched these changes and has concluded they will bring about the next climate change to one of a long lasting cold era.
Today, Director of the SSRC, John Casey has reaffirmed earlier research he led that independently discovered the sun’s changes are the result of a family of cycles that bring about climate shifts from cold climate to warm and back again.
“We today confirm the recent announcement by NASA that there are historic and important changes taking place on the sun’s surface. This will have only one outcome – a new climate change is coming that will bring an extended period of deep cold to the planet. This is not however a unique event for the planet although it is critically important news to this and the next generations. It is but the normal sequence of alternating climate changes that has been going on for thousands of years. Further according to our research, this series of solar cycles are so predictable that they can be used to roughly forecast the next series of climate changes many decades in advance. I have verified the accuracy of these cycles’ behavior over the last 1,100 years relative to temperatures on Earth, to well over 90%.”
As to what these changes are Casey says, “The sun’s surface flows have slowed dramatically as NASA has indicated. This process of surface movement, what NASA calls the “conveyor belt” essentially sweeps up old sunspots and deposits new ones. NASA’s studies have found that when the surface movement slows down, sunspot counts drop significantly. All records of sunspot counts and other proxies of solar activity going back 6,000 years clearly validates our own findings that when we have sunspot counts lower then 50 it means only one thing – an intense cold climate, globally. NASA says the solar cycle 25, the one after the next that starts this spring will be at 50 or lower. The general opinion of the SSRC scientists is that it could begin even sooner within 3 years with the next solar cycle 24. What we are saying today is that my own research and that of the other scientists at the SSRC verifies that NASA is right about one thing – a solar cycle of 50 or lower is headed our way. With this next solar minimum predicted by NASA, what I call a “solar hibernation,” the SSRC forecasts a much colder Earth just as it has transpired before for thousands of years. If NASA is the more accurate on the schedule, then we may see even warmer temperatures before the bottom falls out. If the SSRC and other scientists around the world are correct then we have only a few years to prepare before 20-30 years of lasting and possibly dangerous cold arrive.”
When asked about what this will mean to the average person on the street, Casey was firm. “The last time this particular cycle regenerated was over 200 years ago. I call it the “Bi-Centennial Cycle” solar cycle. It took place between 1793 and 1830, the so-called Dalton Minimum, a period of extreme cold that resulted in what historian John D. Post called the ‘last great subsistence crisis.’ With that cold came massive crops losses, food riots, famine and disease. I believe this next climate change will be much stronger and has the potential to once more cause widespread crop losses globally with the resultant ill effects. The key difference for this next Bi-Centennial Cycle’s impact versus the last is that we will have over 8 billion mouths to feed in the next coldest years where as we had only 1 billion the last time. Among other effects like social and economic disruption, we are facing the real prospect of the ‘perfect storm of global food shortages’ in the next climate change. In answer to the question, everyone on the street will be affected.”
Given the importance of the next climate change Casey was asked whether the government has been notified. “Yes, as soon as my research revealed these solar cycles and the prediction of the coming cold era with the next climate change, I notified all the key offices in the Bush administration including both parties in the Senate and House science committees as well as most of the nation’s media outlets. Unfortunately, because of the intensity of coverage of the UN IPCC and man made global warming during 2007, the full story about climate change is very slow in getting told. These changes in the sun have begun. They are unstoppable. With the word finally starting to get out about the next climate change, hopefully we will have time to prepare. Right now, the newly organized SSRC is the leading independent research center in the US and possibly worldwide, that is focused on the next climate change. Some of the world’s brightest scientists, also experts in solar physics and the next climate change have joined with me. In the meantime we will do our best to spread the word along with NASA and others who can see what is about to take place for the Earth’s climate. Soon, I believe this will be recognized as the most important climate story of this century.”
for the opportunity to offer a few comments on my plans to set up the
Space and Science Research Center, the important work we are about and
to address some questions about whether I and the center are ‘the real
deal.’
possible I took immediate corrective action where appropriate to
improve the web site and better define what the SSRC is. When you start a
new entity you have to take the first step. That is all we have done to
date, just take that very first step at setting up an organization. I
have begun several in my fortunate career and they always begin the
same. You have no money, a belief that you are going to be successful,
and that what you want to do is going to be of benefit to both yourself
others by providing a needed product or service. There is no magic in a
startup. It begins with basics; a phone and address and in this day a
web site, so that you can get to the next phase. Every stage of growth
has its own characteristsic and challenges.
finding a virtual office, setting up a web site and putting out the
first press release we have also planted a flag in the ground. It says
what we are trying to do is not just going to fullfill the basics goals
of a start-up but in this case will try to define and publicize what we
think are the primary drivers for climate change on Earth. We also hope
to create something very special that has the potential to help people
around the world.
believe the meager start of the SSRC nonetheless is an important start
for many people. It is a start that will allow scientists who have great
talent in solar physics and other areas a place to hang their hat and
do important research that is independent and unfettered by political
bias or requirements of conformance to the conventional thought. There
is doubtless need for freedom of scientific expression in the US and
elsewhere these days.
on the point of starting the SSRC I ask for a little patience as the
gears of progress move a little each day and in so doing we provide more
value and benefit to your readers and of course continue our current
research focus on the critical next climate change.
the matter of whether I am real, I will tell you candidly it is a
question that I have simply never had to address before. Perhaps the
internet in its ability to allow everyone to make a comment and publish
an opinion for world wide distribution is the source of confusion.
the many important events that I have taken part in over the past 30
plus years, my credentials have never been questioned. They were granted
full blessing in my work with then Martin Marietta where I served as a
space shuttle engineer and later went on to be a trouble shooter for the
compnay examining scientific and engineering problems in multi-billion
dollar programs. They were not questioned when I helped in the
Challenger investigation and revitalization of NASA Headquarters
especially in the quality and safety arena. They were not questioned
when I chaired a White House National Space Policy Committee or assisted
members of Congress including key committeee leaders of important
science committees. They were not questioned when after 9/11 attacks, I
was asked by the leadership of the new Afghanistan to help advise their
new government on reconstruction matters. They were certainly not
questioned when I raised money to give starving teachers money in a war
zone, and buy furniture for bombed out schools, nor when I helped stear
millions in medical aid to Iraq working with the Department of Defense.
start a single web site that runs counter to global warming (by result
not intent) and suddenly people who have never met me have decided that I
never existed and have used incredible terms in describing my
credentials, my capabilities, and whether I and the SSRC is for real.
is more an observation than a complaint – the internet has the
capability of much good and many things that aren’t good. It is just
something that those like myself who are in the busines of ‘planting
flags’ will just have to get used to.
the SSRC develops and adds staff, receives endorsements and support
from those who really do know me and believe in what the SSRC is doing I
hope that your readers will begin to revise their opinions. This also
may take time. I understand.
email response to date on the otherhand, has been overwhelmingly
positive and a daily joy to read. The many contributors have been from
around the world and all walks of life. The overall message they have
been sending is one of both frustration and relief. Frustration that
they think global warming is not man made but natural and that this
message has been stiffled. The relief comes as they learn that the SSRC
has committed itself as a new and potentially important voice in the
climate change debate. Yesterday, for example I was contacted by a
leader of a group of weather forecasters serving a large section of the
US, who was elated with what we were trying to do. He was elated only
after he fired off some pretty tough, in your face questions about me
and the SSRC and got answers he felt right about. There are many people
who don’t appreciate their intellect and their freedom of speech being
tied down.
the issue of the solar cycles you described, you were part correct.
There are more than those you listed which are very relevant to future
climate change. I did not make a mistake on how many there are. We’re
talking definitions here. Within the space of one or two human lifetimes
which we can ‘relate’ to i.e. the “relational cycles,” the two most
significant are the 206 year and the 90-100 year cycles. The RC Theory
only addresses the cycles less than 206 years in duration, not the more
powerful multi- centennial or multi-millenial cycles. Since we don’t
live very long and with the next climate change coming in 3-14 years
that is going to directly affect us and the next generation, I have
decided to concentrate on these cycles for the near term.
Monday there will be another press release from the SSRC and during the
week an update to the web site with information about some of the
world’s best scientists in the field of solar activity and prediction of
the next climate change who will be added to the site as members of the
new Consulting Scientists Staff.
is my fondest hope the you and your readers will review the site
periodically and help me improve it through constructive comments.
most important hope is that you and your readers will join me in
helping this new and important entity become a success as we now take
our first baby steps forward in our attempt to get the word out about
the coming climate change.
sure you’ve had an interesting career and some engineering expertise to
match; however, if you think that issuing proclamations about climate
change via a web blog and a letter to the president is a good way to
fund research (or make a living for that matter), you need therapy.
not sure why you use the word “Dude,” and I sense that you are a bit of
a wise-ass, but what really distresses me is that you have chosen to
attack the messenger, instead of considering the message.
is it that the primary concern of the modern Stalinist is so often the
mental health of his victim? Cripes. It’s almost as if… pregnant
pause… Finkelbaum hadn’t even bothered to read the above arguments!
of course, there’s the bogus “Institute,” doubtless an attempt at
irony. Hey, Fred, we get it: ANYBODY can claim to run an institute!
Fred… we appreciate the comedic value you bring to the table. Your
name makes us giggle. But if you expect us to take you seriously enough
to bother arguing with you, you’re going to have to make the first cut
by SHOWING UP WITH AN ARGUMENT.
makes you think we’re dealing with a high school graduate here…oops,
that might be considered attacking the messenger, so…what makes you
think this post is at a high school level?
me answer that: The writer actually did not begin a sentence with the
word “however,” but placed it inside a compound sentence in a
grammatically correct usage. The mechanics of the English is correct,
but the critical thinking element appears to be absent…but then,
that’s not taught in school anymore, is it?
has got to be the funniest “press release” I have ever seen. Turns out
the “peer review” is two other “scientists” listed at his institute. No
academic affiliation, not published in a reputable journal. For the real
scoop, see comment by greenfry here:
you take time to read the release and the comments? Only a born-again
believer can dispute the solar evidence…so what is it, the facts or
your silly beliefs?
Sorry, comments are closed for this post.
