Mr. Casey is a former White House space program advisor, consultant to NASA Headquarters, and space shuttle engineer. He is one of America’s most successful climate change researchers and climate prediction experts. Mr. Casey is best known as the leading advocate in the US for a national and international plan to prepare for the next climate change which he has predicted to be one of a dangerous cold climate era. He is also the Editor of the Global Climate Status Report© and is the author of the internationally acclaimed climate book, “Cold Sun.” Mr. Casey is currently the President of a climate research company, the Space and Science Research Corporation (SSRC), in Orlando, Florida. In March 2013, he was named “America’s best climate prediction expert,” by Watchdogwire.com
**************************
This new cold era is caused by a historic decline in the Sun’s energy output, what Mr. Casey calls a “solar hibernation.” His research has shown these cold climate events occur every 206 years because of a regular, repeating, natural cycle of the Sun. Starting in the spring of 2007, Mr. Casey became the first researcher to announce this dramatic change in the Sun to the White House, Congress, major government agencies, all State Governors, and the mainstream media. In addition to correctly predicting the hibernation of the Sun, recently confirmed by NASA and other science organizations, he has also correctly predicted the end of global warming, and the now validated long term decline in the Earth’s temperatures. Further, in 2007 he became one of the few researchers who correctly predicted the specific level and peak of activity of the Sun for the current solar cycle #24, where the US government’s leading solar and climate research organizations failed to do so by a substantial margin. Despite receiving significant early criticism from both sides of the global warming debate for making his highly public climate predictions, his well-documented record of major climate change predictions is today still unmatched by the UN-IPCC, NASA, NOAA, and any US government funded university climate researcher.
His climate science book, “Cold Sun” describes the rationale for understanding why global warming has ended and the effects of the new cold climate era. He is frequently called upon to conduct interviews or speak before large groups of people who want to hear an unbiased version of the causes of climate change and what will happen in the next climate change. Through his years in climate research, he has been outspoken in saying the Sun is the primary driver for climate change and that manmade climate change based on the greenhouse gas theory is the “…greatest international scientific fraud ever perpetrated on the world’s citizens!”
The Global Climate Status Report (GCSR)© is a quarterly report that is the only independent, authoritative, apolitical, global climate report from a leading climate research organization in the US. The report is unique for its type in that it contains a current status report on the Earth’s climate using the latest surface and satellite data, an assessment of both the present and the next climate change, and is compiled from US and international science data and measures twenty four different climate change parameters.
Because of the respect he had earned in his climate research, in September 2011, Mr. Casey was asked by a group of the world’s best geologists in earthquake prediction, to bring them together in a new company to help save thousands of lives each year by providing weeks and months of advance warning of the most dangerous earthquakes. In February 2012, the International Earthquake and Volcano Prediction Center (IEVPC), was formed with Mr. Casey as the Chairman/CEO. In December 2012, the IEVPC announced that it was concluding its test program early after they had correctly predicted its first three major earthquake events in advance. As a result, the IEVPC has begun a program to notify all earthquake prone nations that major earthquakes can now be predicted well in advance.
Mr. Casey has also been an Army computer and missile systems officer, high tech and commercial space company executive, chairman of a humanitarian organization providing aid to women and children in Iraq and Afghanistan, and founder of an environmental organization performing waterway monitoring and cleanup in Florida. He holds a B.S. in Physics and Mathematics (JS
