One climatologist is saying that it is because the sun has gone into a cooling mode. John L. Casey, who has been a former space shuttle engineer and a consultant for NASA says that a "radical shift in global climate is underway."
Casey has written a new book entitled: "Dark Winter: How the Sun Is Causing a 30-Year Cold Spell." His book describes how that the earth is not just cooling – but it is cooling fast. Instead of warming up, the earth has actually been cooling for the past 11 years.
He also adds that troubled times are ahead and political and scientific leaders need to act fast. Casey thinks that the colder seasons are similar to what happened in the 1700s and 1800s, during which time the sun went into a "solar minimum."
At least one scientist agrees with him, a Russian astrophysicist by the name of Habibullo I. Abdussamatov. He goes even further, claiming that we have entered a mini ice age.
Casey also warns that the time to get ready was about 8 years ago. Crop growing seasons will be shorter which, he says, will lead to food shortages.
Comment: One thing that we can probably all agree on is that things do seem to be changing. At least, I do not see any evidence of warming in the US – not right now to be sure.
We do know that the Bible predicts unusual events, but that will largely be during the Tribulation. Unusual things could certainly happen before it, and they have in time past. With all the talk about global warming, not many people could have foreseen a cooling – if that is what is happening.
Casey also warns that the time to get ready was about 8 years ago. Crop growing seasons will be shorter which, he says, will lead to food shortages.
