The Ocean Hasn’t Been This Hot in 125,000 Years, Alarmed Researcher Suggests

Uncategorized

Just as scientists predicted, this year’s “super” El Niño, a natural global weather pattern, is shattering all kinds of records as it combines with human-caused climate change.

July already proved to be the hottest month on record in the US, with the country experiencing average temperatures exceeding those during the July 1936 Dust Bowl, an environmental and agricultural disaster.

Ocean surface temperatures are also steadily creeping up, hitting 70 degrees Fahrenheit this month, the hottest point since records began. That’s despite ocean heat records usually being set in March and April, following the austral summer.

In fact, as University of Ottawa environmental studies professor Ryan Katz-Rosene pointed out in a tweet over the weekend, this new record may be a new high “for the entire Holocene period, and possibly even as far back as the last Interglacial 125,000 years ago.”

“Should be major news!” he argued.

The record temperatures were observed by the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). They signal that more extreme weather events could be in store for us before the end of the year, including intense rainfall and storms.

A hotter ocean also means it’s far less able to absorb excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, intensifying the greenhouse effect.

“The record is another clear signal of an ocean under growing stress,” C4S researcher Samantha Burgess told The Guardian. “El Niño is adding heat to the system, but it is doing so on top of decades of human-driven warming.”

“The consequences are already visible: the number of marine heatwave days globally has more than tripled since the early 1990s,” she added.

It’s an alarming situation. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, around 42 percent of global oceans are covered in marine heat waves, approaching a record proportion of 46 percent set in 2024.

What to do about the alarming trend is as clear as it has been for many years.

“Two key actions are needed to address this record ocean warming,” Campaign for Nature director Brian O’Donnell told The Guardian. “Fossil fuel emissions need to be rapidly reduced. Meanwhile, it is essential that countries protect marine and coastal ecosystems.”

IN the summer of 2019, I was seated in the wine cellar of a walled Medieval town high above the Dordogne Valley of France, not far from Sarlat-la-Canéda, making phone calls, writing reports. I have given this story in other places and it appears as though you’re about to hear it again. Rob Skiba is a name you that you might be familiar with. Though he had made a name for himself as a Nephilim researcher, more recently Rob had taken a dive into the deep end of the pool via flat earth research. The recorded interviews I conducted between he and Rick Hummer, a fellow flat earth investigator and close friend of his, was published while still occupying that very wine cellar. Read all about it. Chicago Is Not a Mirage.

Word quickly spread. Within a few short weeks, dozens of flat earth researchers began accepting my invite for a private interview, if not a series of interviews. From a 17th-century tower built by King Louis XIV, and with a stunning view of the Alps, I sat down with Robbie Davidson, founder of the Flat Earth International Conferences, conducting multiple sessions. While staying in Dumfries, Scotland, David Weiss agreed to take part in the interviews, as did Bob Knodel of Globebusters. There were others. But when I asked the interviewees to discuss the moments that shaped their lives, among the many PSYOPs, false flag attacks, and hoaxes that were discussed, only these men committed commentary to the false 9/11 narrative.

The resulting recordings ballooned into The Unexpected Cosmology, a book which became a website and was even intended as an anthology. And of course, the following discourse was originally a chapter. It was Walt Disney who stated, “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” Those sentiments remain applicable here as well. American Sensationalism: The 9/11 Interviews was always intended to be expanded upon with the inclusion of new researchers. So I’m sorry to say the project became stagnant during the Covid-19 psychodrama. I took a break to tackle other projects. We lost Rob Skiba. Rob offered hours of private conversation regarding his life but we never got around to the big one. 9/11. It was in the cards. Sadly, Bob Knodel died soon afterwards. Voices are being squeezed from an entire generation. Gnosis passes with them.

In the aftermath, the FE community became fractured. People began going their separate ways. Robbie Davidson, among a noted few others who were interviewed for the project, got up and left the movement altogether. It is not my intent to erase his or the contributions of others if only brief. They came, they went, their testimonies remain.

The original vision may have hit roadblocks but it is not forgotten. I expanded this paper a few years later to include testimony from author Pauly Hart, a dear friend of mine. I had wanted to continue that trend every year thereafter but you know how it goes. For the 25th anniversary of the attack I have redirected my efforts to its first large scale expansion, including Andrew Hoy and Darrin Geisinger into the mix. Perhaps others will lend their experiences to the recorder in time.

The following is their report.
