Inaugural Lies and the Big Chill
By Alan
Caruba
In his second
inaugural speech, Barack Obama said, “We must respond to the threat of climate
change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future
generations”?
To what
“climate change” is Obama referring? Is it the now thoroughly debunked “global
warming” hoax? Is it the climate change of the 11,500 years since the last ice
age? Or is it “the devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought,
and more powerful storms” to which Obama referred?
If it is
the latter, does anyone actually believe that these natural events can be
mitigated by anything Americans or the entire population of the world can do? Did
any among the thousands in attendance at the inauguration, shivering in the
frigid weather, wonder what the President was talking about or why?
After more
than three decades of being told that the Earth was dangerously heating up by people
like Al Gore and the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, there are
more voices warning that the current cold cycle that will last, at a minimum,
several decades.
The public
continues to be misled to the mainstream media and, more importantly, by the
federal government whose increased environmental regulations are based on the
global warming lies, so who can you believe?
Publications
such as Science magazine have been so politicized at this point as to be
virtually useless. Roger Pielke Jr., a professor of environmental studies,
recently released a study that updates his study of the magazine, noted that
“In a 2009 paper I documented that Science magazine published 40 editorials
critical of the Bush Administration during its two terms, and only 1 such
critique of the Clinton Administration’s previous 2 terms. I have just updated
this analysis through the first term of the Obama Administration, and found no
editorials critical of the Obama Administration.”
It should
be noted that Obama routinely refers to “climate change”, the new name for
“global warming”, and has already wasted billions on “renewable” energy, wind
and solar, including algae, otherwise known as pond scum. The Obama EPA is
releasing an avalanche of new regulations based in part on the “global warming”
myths and dubious “science” regarding levels of pollution that are worthless.
Recently I
received a book by John L. Casey, “Cold Sun: A Dangerous ‘Hibernation’ of the
Sun Has Begun” ($14.50, Trafford Publishing, softcover), the president of the
Space and Science Research Corporation (SPSC). It is essentially a one-man
operation and Casey’s book is an effort to warn the public about the fact that
the sun has entered a cycle of very low sunspot activity. More sunspots mean
warming weather and fewer mean cold weather. SPSC has the support of a number
of scientists who concur that the planet has entered a cooling cycle, something
well known to meteorologists, climatologists, and solar scientists, even if it
remains generally unknown to the public.
Casey has
been issuing press releases since 2007 warning of a decades-long period of
cooling that will likely have some extremely serious effects on the planet that
include droughts, increased volcanic activity, earthquakes, and the death of
millions as the history of such events in the past demonstrates. He is candid
about his credentials and the lack of response he has gotten from the media and
those in the government he has tried to inform.
Of one
release, he says that “In fact, it was seen with even less credulity since it
was proposed by someone essentially unknown in the professional climate science
community, a person without any past record of university research and not one
published paper in any scientific journal.” It would be easy to dismiss Casey,
but he has been a consultant to NASA, “performing space shuttle and space
station analysis” and done studies for the Department of Defense “performing
rocket launch studies.” He has a BS degree in physics and mathematics and a MA
in management. So it can be said he has extensive experience in areas that
require a sound body of knowledge.
Others are
also forecasting a serious cold cycle. In January 2012, Habilbullo Abdusamatov,
a scientist from the Pulkovo Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences
predicted a sharp drop in temperature starting in 2014 and a new “little” ice
age that will last at least two centuries with a peak in 2055. It would be the
fifth such event over the past nine centuries, the last of which lasted from
1300 to 1850 when the last warming cycle began.
In January
2012, Wall Street Journal science columnist Matt Ridley, noted that the cycle
of warm weather between ice ages that the Earth has been enjoying “is already
11,600 years old, and it must surely in the normal course of things, come to an
end.”
One of the
leading authorities on ice ages, Robert W. Felix, author of “Not By Fire, But
By Ice”, like Casey, became fascinated with ice age cycles and spent eight
years studying them before publishing his book in 2005. He maintains a website,
www.iceagenow.info that is well worth visiting as he
documents the weather events of our current cold cycle and the advent of a new
ice age.
Casey’s
book reflects his mission to educate the public to the dangers of a sun whose
low number of sunspots (magnetic storms) is well known among solar scientists
and generally under-reported. “This particular solar cycle (#24) peak is one of
the lowest since cycle #14 in 1906 which had approximately 64 sunspots,” Casey
told me. “We measure each solar maximum every eleven years to determine the
average of solar activity by sunspot count. We have had solar maximums in the
past there were over 200 sunspots and some as low as 50. The relevance of
information about the number of sunspots is that when the count goes below 50
we enter a much colder climate era.”
Some will
dismiss Casey for not having the credentials of climatologists and
meteorologists. Many with these credentials jumped on the global warming hoax
by way of securing grants and other funding. A courageous few debunked global
warming until it became obvious that it was a lie. There will be those who will
dismiss his warning as hyperbole. In “Cold Sun” he says “A historic reduction
in the energy output of the Sun has begun. The most likely outcome from this
‘solar hibernation’ will be widespread global loss of life and social,
economic, and political disruption.”
As the
German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) said, “All truth passes
through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed.
Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” It is very likely that as the
current cooling cycle—now over 16 years old—wlll increase, Robert W. Felix’s,
Casey’s, and others with traditional credentials in meteorology, climatology,
geology and physics will eventually be heeded and the Big Chill will have become
self-evident.
