John L. Casey and climate denial

An anonymous commentator on my post about Tom Luongo raised the issue of John Casey and his views on climate change.  This is a valid challenge, since Luongo apparently got much of his misinformation from Casey.


Casey is a retired engineer, having worked on the space shuttle at NASA for most of his career.  Post-retirement, he now describes himself as a climatologist, claiming on his website that he is "one of America's most successful climate change researchers and climate prediction experts" without providing any evidence that he has any coursework or research experience in climate science.  Luongo parroted Casey's line, word-for-word, without attribution, in his "newsletter."

So, what is Casey's claim to fame in the realm of climatology?  That the sun exhibits cycles of activity.  No.  Really.  That is Casey's main thesis from his 2008 paper "The existence of relational cycles of solar activity on a multidecadal to centennial scale as significant models of climate change on Earth."  Casey makes the claim that his paper was peer-reviewed but a quick search for the paper title and author on Google Scholar shows that it has never been published anywhere other than his own website.  A quick review of his website shows that this is the only formal paper Casey has written on the subject beyond various "Global Climate Status Reports" available for $8.95.  Looking at the free summaries of his status reports shows that they're largely a continuation of claims made in his 2008 paper.

Casey used a C14 calibration curve from Reimer et al. (2004) as a proxy for solar activity, analyzed it for cycles in an unspecified way, then eyeballed the graph to find the local minima that matched the cycles he found.  He then eyeballed graphs of HadCRUT3 (AD 1860-2000, his Figure 5), continental US temperatures from NOAA (AD 1895-2006, Figure 6), and mainland Chinese temperatures from 1 BC to AD 2000 (Casey's Figure 7, Yang et al. 2002) for local minima.  He then presented the results of that "analysis" in Table 2 on page 5.  Here is his table:

Taking just the data in Table 2, Casey computed the correlation between temperature lows and solar activity, finding that there was a high correlation between the two.  On the basis of the computed correlation and the cycles he found in solar activity, Casey then predicted that a) solar activity is entering a new low starting with cycle 24 which will b) cause global temperatures to plummet by 1 to 1.5ºC by AD 2031.

Unfortunately for his "theory," Casey ignores multiple problems with his analysis.  First, continental China, which he used for temperatures back to 1 BC, does not represent the entire planet anymore than the continental US or central England represents the entire planet.  The only global temperature data set he used started in 1850—meaning that he doesn't have global temperatures before then.  So really, his global analysis covered only the last 150 years of his time period.  Before that his analysis just covered a single country.  That makes me question his 4A point in his Table 2, as it occurred decades before either of the two data sets (HadCRUT3, USA) he used began.

Second, his own Table 2 reveals that there are multiple instances when temperatures bottomed out before solar activity did (e.g. 3, 4B, 6, 7, 8, 13) or that temperatures rose before the solar minimum ended (e.g. the Maunder Minimum (5) and the Wolf Minimum (8)).  That means his supposed cause came after its supposed effect.

Third, his correlation calculation on page 5 is a joke.  He totaled the number of solar minima (N), then counted the number of temperature minima which (approximately) coincided with those minima (R), then calculated the correlation as R/N = 0.93.  That calculation in itself is problematic.  When we're calculating correlations, we normally calculate either Pearson's r or Spearman's rho, then compute the p-value to decide on statistical significance.  Casey used neither, preferring his own non-standard formula of R/N.  Beyond his "technique," however, there are 6 instances where the effect (temperature) came first, which is impossible.  Using N = 13 (removing 4A due to the fact it comes before his data sets began), that means R = 7, which means that R/N would be 0.54, far below his calculated value.  To get a value of 0.93 given N = 14, R must equal 13, so Casey must have included most of the instances where his proposed effect came before his proposed cause.  Completely bogus.  Last, if you want to calculate the correlation between two variables, you calculate the correlation between all of the data, not just timing of the local minima.

 Fourth, Casey ignored all the research published by 2008 that showed that the current global warming is not due to the sun (e.g. Meehl et al. 2004, Solanki et al. 2004, Usoskin et al. 2005, Scafetta and West 2006, Ammann et al. 2007, Lockwood and Fröhlich 2007, Lean and Rind 2008).  He didn't even acknowledge any of those papers which makes me wonder if he bothered to read of any of those papers.

Last, he gives no indication how he concluded that a drop in solar activity starting in cycle 24 would cause global temperatures to drop by 1 to 1.5ºC by AD 2031.  No calculations, no models, nothing.  No way to double check his conclusion.  Not only are his conclusions uncheckable, his conclusion was debunked by Fuelner and Rahmstorf (2010), who found that a new Maunder Minimum over the next century would have little effect on global temperatures, cutting only 0.3ºC of an expected increase of 4ºC.  Given that I've already published my own analysis of where temperatures are headed by 2030, we'll get to see who is correct.

Predicted 2030 temperatures based on an extrapolation of the warming trend since 1970 versus John Casey's predicted range for 2031.
 In short, Casey's main "analysis" is a joke, much as the rest of the "science" Tom Luongo claimed to learn from him.

Comments

  1. Although the specific figures about correlations between temperatures and solar cycles are determined, are greek to me. I see no reason not to believe that Mr. Casey's calculations and unexplained predictions are flawed. Unfortunately I lack most of the scientific know-how and experience to really comprehend such parts of global warming research, but after reading your observations, and those made by others proficient in the field of Climate science, I have faith that there has been no stone left unturned in the effort to find other ways to explain our rising temperatures and erratic weather patterns. Most people don't realize that almost invariably, any contradictory theories and explanations for global warming, have long since been examined and rejected but, man's primary role remains virtually indisputable.

  2. Met the guy in a bookstore today, where he turned the single copy of his book there face-out. I engaged him in polite conversation, backed by a healthy skepticism. He could not back his conclusions with clear arguments, insisting only that "those in control of our government" were deliberately perpetuating the myth of global warming in order to profit from taxation of carbon emissions--and that "all of us," meaning all climate scientists, agree that global warming is a myth, and that the earth is not warming at all. When asked about his credentials, he clearly waffled. The guy is a crackpot. I buried the book (which seems to be 40 pages of personal opinions and anecdotes "supported" by text-only quotations from real climatologists, isolated and taken out of context--which comprises over half of the book. He seems a nice, intelligent, and reasonable man, which makes him all the more dangerous. Fortunately, the only people who seem to be listening to him are the ultraconservative (and dwindling) Tea Party nut jobs.

  3. There is, however, a 2003 NOAA study, "Are we on the brink of a new little ice age?" co-authored by two NOAA scientists that, although not concluding that global warming is not occurring, does say that IPCC global warming theory and the models it is based on are flawed because the conclusions are based on too short a period of time, only about 250 years. The 2003 NOAA study, by comparison, studied ice cores from glaciers formed during ice ages that occurred over several hundred thousand years in our past. While the study concurred that global warming would not preclude some areas of the planet experiencing extremely long, cold winters such as we have been experiencing recently, the writers' conclusion was that 1. there are simply too many variables and 2. climate science is simply not sophisticated enough to be able to analyze them all and arrive at the solid conclusions the IPCC and other climate study organizations have. Based on the timber of your post, while I am sure you will dismiss me as one more "crackpot," I would suggest you Google and read, "Are we on the brink of a new little ice age?"

Global warming cannot account for this only global cooling does . Next year will be even worse. AGW is even more rediculous.CO2 is a minor gas and could NOT be responsible for climate forcing. It follows. Crop failures are the biggest threat facing us NOW not in 50 years.

  4. I suggest you actually make sure that you understand what you read. First off, Joyce and Keigwin's article (http://www.whoi.edu/page.do?pid=83339&tid=3622&cid=10046) was a blog post, not a published study. Second, you completely misunderstood what they wrote.

    Their main point was that global warming had increased the chances of an abrupt climate change event similar to the Younger Dryas at the end of the last ice age. During the Younger Dryas, a massive amount of meltwater from the continental glacier covering North America flooded into the North Atlantic. That pulse of freshwater shut down the Gulf Stream, rapidly (within 10 years) plunging the region around the North Atlantic into ice age conditions for 1,000 years.

    Joyce and Keigwin's points about climate models was that none of the models were sophisticated enough to predict REGIONAL climate change because there were too many unknown variables, NOT that the models couldn't predict GLOBAL change. There is a huge difference between regional and global, a point which you seem to have missed.

    Third, their main conclusion was that abrupt regional change, not just relatively gradual warming, was the main threat to civilization—especially if melting Greenland glaciers created another Younger Dryas event.

    Next time, please read for comprehension, not just to cherry-pick out-of-context pieces.

      Politics is essentially NEVER discussed in real climate science. Yet it is ALWAYS discussed in AGW Denialism. Can you explain that? How the hell do climate scientists conspire on a secret political plan, when they NEVER actually discuss what the plan is???? Is there really a flavor of "Kool-Aid" that can impart this understanding of what the political goals of AGW are, and how to participate, without putting words to paper?

As for Casey, selling a 9 dollar book pales when the funding for climate research is examined. What university or professor would give that up? East Angola's climate fabrications are never mentioned by pro warming propagandists in this blog. Follow the big money and ask, "Where will the carbon credit profits be applied? Who will receive those tax dollars levied against business, industry and citizens, and how will they be used to improve the living standards of mankind? The simple fact that dirt poor and suffering African nations are prohibited from developing a gas and oil industry in the name of preserving a natural environment, causing the starvation of millions while the climate change professors and their universities turn a blind eye, is the single most negative aspect of global warming science. How long will you look away from that fact, HOW LONG?????

Whatever the sun sends us in weather we will have to accommodate ourselves too. We should aim to spend less than earthly total GDP on trying to stop the sun, even if it effects the incomes the Al Gore Jrs, the grants of "climate scientists", and the graft green lobby political kickbacks. I also know the science is not about voting, and tell disagreeers to shut up., but about unrelenting inquiry and testing.

    Gore's Law states, as coined by Laanta in March 2008:
    “”As an online climate change debate grows longer, the probability that denier arguments will descend into attacks on Al Gore approaches
    Immediately after making the post, commenters proceeded to nitpick at Gore — thus proving his point.

    In Laanta's words: "Al Gore could be short, evil and fond of child sacrifice. He could emit more CO2 snoring at night than Christopher Monckton does all year. And his movie could be even more inaccurate than The Great Global Warming Swindle. But this wouldn't change a thing."

  11. The main problem is that it is not just one cause of climate change, everything is causing it: Man and Nature. What is going to happen is that first, we will face what I call "Crimson Summer" which will be caused by Man-made CO2, the Deforestation of the world's forests, less volcanic activity and overpopulation . The Sea levels will rise and many of the world's Coasts will be flooded. Drought and Flooding will happen where they have not happen before.

    Then comes "Azure Winter", the warm ocean currents will start slowing down, causing a rapid cooling of the climate, the ice caps return and soon, record cold in the North lasting well into spring, followed by the Start of a new Ice Age.

    ReplyDelete
  12. All ocean currents do is shift heat from the tropics/subtropics to the poles. Your "Azure Winter" would be largely confined to the polar latitudes whereas excess heat would build up in the tropics and subtropics, hardly a conducive situation for an ice age.

  14. Can anyone accuratly predict the weather in the short or long term? Even if they could, it's still just a guess. A single solar massive flare, Super Nova, Comet, Super Volcano, Necular War, Alien Invasion, Pandemic, etc could render "Climate Change" a laughable topic in an instant. I wouldn't want to be "that guy" who diverted funds and mindshare away from important activities that could have really saved the planet.

    I contend that Climate Change fanitics, (I'm not saying you are one), and all fanatics are blinded by their fanaticism. Where there's a boiling over of passion, there's little room for reason. Real science doesnt require emmotions to sell their wares... real scientists are sceptical by nature.

    I fear science has become the latest casuality in a long line of sellouts following in the footsteps of our political leaders. I'm much more concerned with the destruction of our country, currency, education system, infrastructure, freedom, jobs, future, values, honesty than our weather. Maybe we really need a good storm to clean this place up.

  15. Scientists prove facts based on available information, the history of information and much more. They meet as groups to come to the most factual theory of the truth and in most cases are spot on. Income the politics that cover only their interests in the scientific findings. The two don't mix. Let scientists prove the facts with their expertise and deliver the message from them be it proven factual between all or the disputes between all but the information from the scientific community should come from the scientific community in their words. Leave politics out of it. That's a self serving entity out for their own interests and gains.

  16. Interesting discussion, except for the political commentaries (on either side) -- they just muddy the waters. If you all would like to read another interesting paper on a counterweight to global climate change, I would recommend this one:

    http://www.earth-syst-dynam-discuss.net/6/1237/2015/esdd-6-1237-2015.pdf

    The author, Jorge Sanchez-Sesma, comes to the conclusion that we are entering a period of minimum solar activity, which will reduce the earth's temperature by half a degree Celsius by the end of this century, and he has further predictions after that. If this turns out to be true, it would offset to an extent the rise in global temperatures predicted because of greenhouse gases, and maybe give us some more time to react to the disruptions that may occur on local and regional levels.

    Better heads than mine can evaluate Sanchez-Sesma's methods and math, but the article does look interesting.

  21. The biggest problem haunting all climate models is the extent to which clouds confound. The IPCC is said to have neglected not only the sun but cloud cover. They did it in order to simplify things. Evidently they neglected too much. That does not mean the glaciers are not really melting, it means any policy intended on controlling global warming is likely to fail one way or the other. That's why politics is no substitute for the marketplace of ideas.

  22. "Fuelner and Rahmstorf (2010), .. found that a new Maunder Minimum over the next century would have little effect on global temperatures, cutting only 0.3ºC of an expected increase of 4ºC. Given that I've already published my own analysis of where temperatures are headed by 2030, we'll get to see who is correct."
    We have already got to see that despite CO2 being released faster than ever, the temperature trends have been way below those predicted by the "science is settled" IPCC models.
    The Global Warming Hypothesis is being touted as a theory at par with the Theory of Relativity or Evolution which is absurd. All that can be said is that CO2 is Greenhouse gas which will cause some extra heat to be retained from the Sun. Natural variations are not very well understood and we move through space with the Earth wobbling a bit and passing through equator of the solar system of the sun every now and then and the solar system itself passing though galactic equator every now and then. These equators have their own dust clouds which likely influence our climate as does our variable sun and bombardment of cosmic rays from outer space.
    Money and politics have polluted climate science in ways that they never did with Evolution or other scientific theories.

  26. It's amazing how many things there are about climate science of which people are ignorant, and the appalling logic applied to the discussion.

    The confusion between climate and weather.

    The ignorance of what climate models include (they include clouds, convection, sun, oceans etc etc etc).

    Climate has changed in the past therefore humans cannot be contributing to climate change now..?? Right, so because there were forest fires before humans existed humans cannot cause forest fires.

    That Al Gore is important in a discussion of the science..? Good grief. There are plenty of places on the web where you can talk politics.

    That this is all about US politics..? The conspiracy apparently includes the national science academies of scores of countries. The mainstream science view has been consistent no matter what the preferences of the government of the day, and no matter which country you look at.

    CO2 is 0.04% of the atmosphere. But the gases causing the greenhouse effect are only 2% of the atmosphere, and they keep the surface 33C warmer than with no greenhouse gases. CO2 makes up 2% of the greenhouse gases that regulate the surface temperature. If you think this small amount cannot have much impact, imagine what 2% of the volume of your blood's worth of arsenic would do to you. Or if you like, 0.04% of your body's weight in arsenic injected into your bloodstream. That might cure you of waving away small sounding amounts if you survive the experiment.

    CO2 contributes 9%-26% of the greenhouse effect depending on cloudiness.

  29. I like the goldfish analogy,
    you have a pool with 1 million fish in it.
    280 of them are gold fish. the other fish are say salmon fry...
    now exchange 120 of the salmon for gold fish..
    now we have 400 goldfish in the pool..
    point out a goldfish to me.... its gonna be real hard to do...

    just to put the current 400 ppm of CO2 in perspective.
    blaming co2 for global warming is silly ... could be that bright thing in the sky that is the primary driver on the climate...
    co2 is a very small driver in this equation...

    there is also a little geologic feature on this planet that is never mentioned..
    it's called the Ring of Fire... encircles the entire pacific ocean. on a daily basis spewing more "greenhouse gasses" than man could ever produce in one year alone.
    That is one of many volcanic rifts on this rock.

  30. Bueno, si Casey es tan fantasioso o arbitrario como aquí dicen, no se explica que haya acertado tan espectacularmente con la disminución de la actividad solar en el ciclo 24, y con la llegada de un mínimo solar en el ciclo 25 -que predijo con varios años de anticipación, cuando absolutamente nadie pensaba que podía producirse un mínimo solar.
    Yo juzgo a Casey por sus resultados, y la verdad, son impresionantes. Ningún charlatán puede acertar así. Por lo tanto, es un investigador valioso, aunque los meteorólogos se pongan celosos de él.

  41. I might as well add by two cents. Back in 1978 as a senior in college, I was helping a friend of a friend with his "weather theory" -- he claimed to have some success predicting the appearance and movement of hurricanes. As it turns out, the idea was flawed, but I became interested in the minor climatology aspects of the theory. After doing my own research with what was available at the time, I came to the conclusion that
    1) Because of accelerators such as methane in the tundra and continental shelf, global warming would increase much faster than conventional predictions. All of the "easily melted, slushy stuff in the world" (e.g. Snows of Kilimanjaro, inland non-Antarctic glaciers, Antarctic edge and surface material) that equals a sea level rise of 15 feet would occur by the end of the 21st century.
    2) However, after a rise of 15 feet, the process would stop for at least 1.5 centuries owing to the expected appearance (eyeballed from data) of a "mini ice age."
    3) After that, the warming would continue, but the disappearance by that time of all fossil fuels other than perhaps coal would help attenuate the rise in temperatures, along with whatever technological innovations would be available in the future.

    Just consider it the rambling speculations of a cocky college kid. :-)

  43. Generally speaking, the less frequent you consume and less body fat you have the lesser amount of time it will take you to cleanse. As you may have guessed, the more frequent and concentrated your consumption is and the higher your body fat levels are will have the opposite effect, making it a longer process to getting THC out that often requires detoxing with a hardcore diet plan. Understanding this information gives my bid is sell this one product, I will express my thought. gooodprgn.

The pills are to be taken every few hours and with every tablet, the THC traces are removed from at us systeme. This detox program requires a lot of effort and dedication.

So, how do you remove the THC traces from your hair for the drug test? We recommend one of the best Can de toxing shampoos that you can use to rinse your hair and pass test.
