The Space and Science Research Center (SSRC), the leading independent research organization in the United States on the subject of the next climate change, issues today the following warning of imminent crop damage expected to produce food and ethanol shortages for the US and Canada: Over the next 30 months, global temperatures are expected to make another dramatic drop even greater than that seen during the 2007-2008 period. As the Earth’s current El Nino dissipates, the planet will return to the long term temperature decline brought on by the Sun’s historic reduction in output, the on-going “solar hibernation.”
The SSRC further adds that the severity of this projected near term decline may be on the order of 0.9 C to 1.1 C from present levels

Let's get several hundred years of scientific data, using instruments, then we can make an intelligent guess.
The earth's climate changes are measured in millenniums, not seasons, years, decades, or even a human lifetimes.

We are going through the timeline of around 10,000-9000 BC.
I don't understand why people are saying we are going to get warmer?
Follow the timelines. I also read many channelings (most won't acknowledge them) and they have been telling us this for years!

Most recently, the 1991 explosion of Mount Pinatubo, another stratovolcano in the Philippines, cooled global temperatures for about 2–3 years.

Ummm...says who?
I can start a website and call myself the leading "independent" researcher on the subject of bikini inspection - does that mean next time I'm at the beach I won't get arrested or slapped upside the head by my girlfriend?
I'd never heard of this Space and Science Research Center, so I googled it - and of course all that came up was a few websites talking about what a complete crock the whole thing is.

Tom, I'm afraid you're way off base on this one.
We've had an interesting exchange with John Casey. Turns out he is neither a nut nor a scammer... in fact, he's been involved at high levels in Big Science for a long time. SSRC a brand-new organization, which is scrambling to establish itself and make a contribution, but it is nonetheless legit.
We at The Dead Hand have pledged what support we have to offer to Casey and his efforts. I think anybody with an interest in injecting a little science into the global-warming charade ought to do likewise. Remember that many researchers speak out at the risk of their careers. That's why having an insider like Casey make a crusade of this is so important.

I also find it really peculiar how this supposed independent climate expert has chosen a period of 30 months to forecast a global cooling trend based on some alleged solar "hibernation", even though current variation is heading towards a MAXIMUM in it's 11 year cycle.
He makes some vague connections to ENSO but that's really bizarre to me since at this point we can't even say for sure we're about to enter a La Nina cycle, let alone how long it'll last...
So I wouldn't be surprised if this is all actually a red herring and this guy's making these "scientific" predictions based on a trip to wikipedia:
Because it's well known that major volcanic eruptions contribute to global cooling and a lot of people feel we are due for one since Pinatubo was almost 20 years ago...
And hey - conveniently enough a certain temperamental Icelandic volcano has been all over the news lately!
Now, look up the phenomenon of volcanic winters on Wikipedia and see what they have to say about the last one:
Most recently, the 1991 explosion of Mount Pinatubo, another stratovolcano in the Philippines, cooled global temperatures for about 2–3 years.
2-3 years huh? That just happens to average out to 2.5 years, aka 30 months. Awesome coincidence.
Furthermore I like this statement from the "press release":
The SSRC further adds that the severity of this projected near term decline may be on the order of 0.9 C to 1.1 C from present levels.
Wow. Pretty scientific looking how they even got the specific range down to 0.9-1.1 C. Of course there's absolutely no mention of how they accomplished this amazing climate modeling accuracy - but who are we to question the research of the Space and Science Research Center!
Interestingly enough though there's a couple of mentions on that wikipedia page of how temperatures were previously affected by around 1C. Adding some +/- 0.1 uncertainty to that figure makes it look that much more science-y I guess.
Indeed I'd expect nothing less from the leading independent research organization in the United States on the subject of the next climate change.

And that the Owens river flowed to Death Valley Calif (Lake Manly) between 2000 to 5000 years ago.
