This new era called a 'solar hibernation' or 'grand minimum' is caused by a repeating
206 year cycle of the Sun. These hibernations are accompanied by historic reductions in the energy output of the Sun.
SSRC research shows the next solar hibernation will bring a long period of cold just as it has done before every time this
cycle 'turns over' from its global warming phase to its global cooling phase. In addition, SSRC research backed by that of
other researchers has shown a high degree of correlation between solar hibernations and the world's largest earthquakes and
volcanic eruptions.
Mr. Casey, President of the SSRC was the first authority
to notify the White House and other government agencies of this coming solar hibernation in early 2007. Numerous other
scientists discovered the same cycles of the Sun. Their findings have been ignored or buried in science journals and thus
essentially unknown to the public.During the first six months of 2011, NASA, The US Air Force, and the National Solar
Observatory all confirmed the coming solar grand minimum. The next solar hibernation and according to the SSRC
and many other scientists, the next climate change to decades of record cold has begun.
This cold era is expected to last for approximately 22 to 33 years with the coldest temperatures to be seen
during the 2020's and 2030's either side of the bottom year of the cycle in 2031, and have temperatures on the order of that
observed during the Dalton Minimum (1793-1830). We have already seen the early signs of the new climate with record cold
winters globally for the last three years. Additionally these cold climates have a characteristic of reducing temperatures
in a highly variable manner with extremes of both hot and cold with a general trend of quickly reaching a deep colder level
that lingers on for two to three decades. That does not mean we can wait to prepare. Now that the hibernation has begun,
it is possible for these unusual variations in temperatures to strike with little warning. We should not be surprised
to see occasional severe crop damage and recurring food shortages in many nations at any time. Comparisons to the
Dalton Minimum show that there is a high probability of social, economic and political turmoil worldwide as a result
of massive crop losses from the coming cold weather. The SSRC believes this damage to the world's agricultural
systems will be sufficient to create conditions that could lead to the world's worst subsistence crisis in recorded history.
This same food crisis occurred during the last hibernation, though with significantly fewer people to feed. Historian
John D. Post called that time"...the last great subsistence crisis."
Additionally, SSRC research and that of other respected researchers shows that geophysical upheavals like the largest
earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are likely to occur during these solar events. As before with the Mt. Tambora eruption
in 1815 that took place during the last solar hibernation, large volcanic eruptions may greatly add to the cooling of the
Earth on top of that created by the reduction in the Sun's output. Further, the largest recorded earthquakes in US history
took place in the middle of the last hibernation, the New Madrid quakes of 1811-1812. The SSRC Research Report 1-2010, (See
The RC Theory page) similar to that of other researchers, established a strong link between solar hibernations
and these largest geophysical disturbances. Given the likelihood of major quakes and volcanic eruptions here in the US,
the SSRC immediately notified US authorities and major news outlets after release of the report.
The SSRC
predicts the first possible time frame for an instance of large scale crop damage is during the record drop
in global temperatures predicted by the SSRC to take place between June 2010 and November-December 2012. (See press release
2-2010). Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions of historical scale can happen at any time now that the next solar hibernation
has begun.
This is the nature of the threats that the SSRC sees during the new climate era that has just begun.
The obvious message here is that we need to prepare as best we can. The SSRC will do all it can to spread the word about this
new climate period and its ill-effects. We will continue to pursue the SSRC Mission of urging the government and our
fellow citizens to prepare for this new climate era.
