"In fact, Casey, a former space shuttle engineer and NASA consultant"

Dafuq? Being an aero-astro engineer qualifies a person as a "climatologist?"

Eh, why not? Apparently being a psychologist qualifies a person as a "climate scientist."

OK, you global warming advocates and fanatics can relax for 30 years according to this reliable report.
Climatologist: 30-Year Cold Spell Strikes Earth

oh my! A guy. "John L. Casey", with no related background, no formal journal publications in anything, an undergraduate science degree from a 'Tier 2' U.S. college... and... he's the single employee of his self-founded "Space and Science Research Center (SSRC)"... as Casey self-describes SSRC: "the foremost institution in the United States dedicated to communicating the need to prepare for the new cold climate epoch". :lol:

Casey's work has never been published in a peer-reviewed academic journal, only self-published on the internet. He told New Times that's because "the importance of the findings and conclusions mandated the widest public dissemination possible, which the web supplies."

(Spreading the news of global cooling is so urgent that, in an April 28 letter to the White House, Casey warned President Obama that "African Americans, other minorities, and the poor will suffer the most because of the new cold era and your climate policies. This assertion is supported by the fact that a large percentage of these citizens are largely dependent on the US government for food, which we will start to run short of as the cold starts to damage crops.")

When New Times pressed Casey about his avoiding scientific journals, he cited their "limited space," "lack of expertise," and the "history of bias by some journals to publish anything that does not support manmade global warming."

University of Miami climate scientist Dr. Benjamin Kirtman on Casey's work:
It looks to me that Casey is confused about global dimming, which actually seems to be in a reversal... As for the "global cooling" Casey is arguing for, all evidence is to the contrary. Indeed, ocean heat uptake has continued to steadily rise since the 1950s, and there is no plausible physical process (including changes in solar output) that would end this trend in the near-term (10-30 years). Casey's "Summary Climate Assessment" has some unsupportable statements. For example, Casey's assessment states that "Integrated Global Atmospheric Temperatures continue to show a long term COOLING trend that began in 2007. (100 year trend)." This is untrue (by far, 2001-10 is the warmest decade since the 1850s) and it is not mathematically possible detect a 100-year trend with seven years of data. The assessment goes on to state, "The rate of oceanic temperature decline has been slightly reduced over the past year but is expected to continue its long-term decline." This is also untrue -- July 2014 ocean temperatures are the warmest on record.

Funny how the believers are so concerned about what amounts to a flash of time in the grand scheme of things. Couple of warm days and the world is going to end but when it is colder than normal for a sustained period it is just weather.

Old engineers tend to get a little weird. I once had one come to me to write up a request to the FCC (the American communications regulator) for a "pioneer's preference" (essentially free radio spectrum) so that he could provide nationwide cell phone service using "atomic laser computers" that did not use radio (which kinda makes you wonder why he wanted free radio spectrum). He had a three-inch (7.62 cm) binder full of plans, very well-drawn diagrams featuring a white box labelled "atomic laser computer," and his credentials, which included the World Science Prize, and even a copy of the World Science Prize citation and a photograph of himself accepting the World Science Prize.

He was actually a qualified electrical engineer who had a long career in industry. He just went a mite nuts as he aged.

Now, I hope you're not gonna ask me if I took advantage of this poor loony. That would be reprehesible.

Of course I did. Dinged him for 25K.

That is why anything under a kilo year is a joke.

yo Locutus... about your "groupthink" meme, how is it the collective denialsphere has no groupthink, no confirmation bias, no ideological bias, no conspiracy fronts, etc., etc., etc.??? Locutus, what's up with that? :lol:

Funny how waldo drags out the same discredited material that various others have over the past few years and thinks he is providing new research.

ya see... I'd ask you to cite that same, as you say, "past descredited material"... but member 'Locutus' effectively told me to "go pound sand" when I played the 'citation request' card. Apparently, as a noob around here, I need to go on through a brazillion past threads/posts to "get up to speed". :lol:

now, if you'd like to actually take it upon yourself to provide me a link to past CC posts that have, as you say, discredited my "same material", please do so. Waiting.....

No, he's confusing Playboy models with Sports Illustrated models. Can't really blame him, there ain't much difference nowadays.
