About this item
Climate change has been a perplexing problem for years. In Dark Winter, scientist John L. Casey, a former White House national space policy advisor, NASA headquarters consultant, and space shuttle engineer tells the truth about ominous changes taking place in the climate and the Sun. In Dark Winter, Casey argues that a decrease in the Sun's activity led to an abrupt end to global warming in 2007, as the earth entered a new solar minimum a 30-year period that will lead to record cold weather across the globe. This new cold climate will dramatically impact the world s citizens. In Dark Winter, he provides evidence of the following: The end of global warming The beginning of a "solar hibernation," a historic reduction in the energy output of the Sun A long-term drop in the Earth's temperatures The start of the next climate change to decades of dangerously cold weather The high probability of record earthquakes and volcanic eruptions Casey has studied past solar minimum periods.
