oh, but a rep from a country in Paris speaks for the country eh? hypocrite, hypocrite, hypocrite.A former NASA consultant is not the consensus of NASA.
This is an unethical and lying OP.
Climatologist John Casey, a former space shuttle engineer and NASA consultant, thinks that last year’s winter, described by USA Today as “one of the snowiest, coldest, most miserable on record” is going to be a regular occurrence over the coming decades.
no, the most adjustments made in years, but not the warmest. not evahhhhhhhhh? you know like 58 is greater than 62 right?Mr. Westwall has been predicting cooling since 2005. Three of the warmest years on record have occured during that period. Now that is a record of credibility that is hardly credible. LOL

sounds like a typical winter eh? No climate change.Snow on the East Coast, mid-60's here in Portland.
"Casey also has no background in climate science, possessing only an undergraduate degree in physics and math and a master's in management. Since we pointed that out in 2010, Casey has pumped up his biography, adding that he is "one of America's most successful climate change researchers and climate prediction experts," even though he does not appear to have ever published a single peer-reviewed paper on the subject."
Wash. Examiner Duped By "Global Cooling" "Scam Artist" -- Even After We Warned Them
From Wikipedia's article on the Maunder Minimum
Little Ice Age[edit]
Comparison of group sunspot numbers (top), Central England Temperature (CET) observations (middle) and reconstructions and modeling of Northern Hemisphere Temperatures (NHT). The CET in red are summer averages (for June, July and August) and in blue winter averages (for December of previous year, January and February). NHT in grey is the distribution from basket of paleoclimate reconstructions (darker grey showing higher probability values) and in red are from model simulations that account for solar and volcanic variations. By way of comparison, on the same scales the anomaly for modern data (after 31 December 1999) for summer CET is +0.65oC, for winter CET is +1.34oC, and for NHT is +1.08oC. Sunspot data are as in supplementary data to [9] and Central England Temperature data are as published by the UK Met Office [10] The NHT data are described in box TS.5, Figure 1 of the IPCC AR5 report of Working Group 1.[11]
The Maunder Minimum roughly coincided with the middle part of the Little Ice Age, during which Europe and North America experienced colder than average temperatures. Whether there is a causal relationship, however, is still controversial, as no convincing mechanism for the solar activity to produce cold temperatures has been proposed,[12] and the current best hypothesis for the cause of the Little Ice Age is that it was the result of volcanic action.[13][14] The onset of the Little Ice Age also occurred well before the beginning of the Maunder minimum.[13]
The correlation between low sunspot activity and cold winters in England has recently been analyzed using the longest existing surface temperature record, the Central England Temperature record.[15] They emphasize that this is a regional and seasonal effect relating to European winters, and not a global effect. A potential explanation of this has been offered by observations by NASA's Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment, which suggest that solar UV output is more variable over the course of the solar cycle than scientists had previously thought.[16] In 2011, an article was published in the Nature Geoscience journal that uses a climate model with stratospheric layers and the SORCE data to tie low solar activity to jet stream behavior and mild winters in some places (southern Europe and Canada/Greenland) and colder winters in others (northern Europe and the United States).[17] In Europe, examples of very cold winters are 1683-84, 1694–95, and the winter of 1708–09.[18]
Note that the term "Little Ice Age" applied to the Maunder minimum is something of a misnomer as it implies a period of unremitting cold (and on a global scale), which is not the case. For example, the coldest winter in the Central England Temperature record is 1683-84, but the winter just two years later (both in the middle of the Maunder minimum) was the fifth warmest in the whole 350-year CET record. Furthermore, summers during the Maunder minimum were not significantly different from those seen in subsequent years. The drop in global average temperatures in paleoclimate reconstructions at the start of the Little Ice Age was between about 1560 and 1600, whereas the Maunder minimum began almost 50 years later.[original research?]

Yeah right. In 1683, the temperature records were kept to 5th decimal point and they are impeccable.
Trust me --- no sunspot activity is a GLOBAL event. And this time --- it will be recorded..
Mr. Westwall has been predicting cooling since 2005. Three of the warmest years on record have occured during that period. Now that is a record of credibility that is hardly credible. LOL
You mean warmest years in the microscopically small time frame they're using...
Most definitely not the warmest years on record, not even close.

It is possible that the geological ice age is to modeling for the mini ice age?
Quotes:
"The bottom line is that we are basically skipping a whole glacial cycle, which is unprecedented.”
“However, our study also shows that relatively moderate additional anthropogenic CO2-emissions from burning oil, coal and gas are already sufficient to postpone the next ice age for another 50,000 years,” which would mean the next one probably won’t start for 100,000 years, he said.
"....The researchers in Germany were able to use computer models to replicate the last eight glacial cycles and provide predictions on when the next might occur. ..."
“...This study further confirms what we’ve suspected for some time, that the carbon dioxide humans have added to the atmosphere will alter the climate of the planet for tens to hundreds of thousands of years, and has canceled the next ice age,” said Andrew Watson, a professor of Earth sciences at the University of Exeter in southwest England, who wasn’t involved in the research. ..."

This is utter bull shit!
Please explain to me why we have glaciated, warmed and glaciated again thousands of times while the CO2 levels were well above 7,000ppm?
The empirical evidence and commonsense lays that utter bull shit waste..

"1000s of times" ??? Isn't that a bit overstated? And CO2 HAS been above 7000ppm, but not in the past series of Ice Ages and thaws..

Thousands of times might be a sever understatement.. when we consider the earth is 4.6 billion years old and our temperature has remained within the 12 deg C boundary for almost all of that time..
Its my understanding that we have been cyclical for all of that time.. Even the dinosaurs migrated ..
