As the subtitle indicates, Casey predicts a 30-year cold spell, beginning very recently. If you live in North America anywhere east of the Rocky Mountains you probably saw enough winter last year to concede that he might have a point.His calculations are based on solar cycles. A couple of years ago the publishers of the Olde Farmers Almanac stated for publication that their method of predicting weather is based on 11 and 22-year sunspot cycles, and has had essentially the same prediction method for more than 2 centuries. At that time the official weather office predictions were based on fluid mechanics. The original researchers on Chaos Theory showed conclusively that the fluid mechanics theory had an absolute maximum usefulness of 23 days. Beyond that time it is totally useless. The weather office claimed that the Farmers Almanac method was unscientific. I disagreed with that position on the basis that the two prediction methods should be judged on the accuracy of their results, not the horsepower of their computer sections.About 20 years ago the Farmers Almanac was more accurate for weather more than about a week in the future. With advances in satellite technology this breakpoint may have been extended another few days.Casey has done his homework. He is actually a scientist, not a politician, and every page of his book shows it. He proceeds in the scientific manner. His figures show, as do most similar researchers, that there are strong weather cycles of about 100 years and about 206 years. These strongly indicate a cold period ahead, with the coldest part in about 2030. He quotes figures from other researchers. Most of these are in general agreement. I note that he quotes several Russian researchers.
