July 28, 2023’s Coffee & Covid was titled, “Overheated.” It would become one of the most-read posts in C&C history and is still often mentioned in the comments. I am re-running that classic story, with updates and revisions, because it is even more relevant now.

To set the table with sharp steak knives, let’s begin with an apocalyptic Bible verse, describing the Second Trumpet of Revelation:

The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood.

Rev. 8:8.

The conventional Christian interpretation has always been that this verse describes a comet or large asteroid striking the oceans in the End Times. I was never satisfied with that explanation, since the author —the Apostle John— obviously knew what comets were. If he meant “comet,” why not say so? But if his vision revealed a massive underwater volcano, he might easily have described it as something like a great mountain.

After the record-shattering Hunga Tonga undersea eruption in 2022, millions of acres of the sea literally turned red, the combined result of megatons of sulphuric ash and a rust-red cytoplankton bloom observable from space.

If there were a single news story that best illustrates the pathetic failure of our modern scientific “expert” class, that story would be about the largest and most ecologically devastating geological event in human history, which occurred in 2022, yet most of you still probably have never even heard of it. It’s a story non grata because it shatters the approved climate narrative.

Since 2022, the oceans have been going crazy. The Gulf Stream is failing (unprecedented). Scientists are “sounding the alarm bell” about collapsing Atlantic Meridional currents (never seen before). The South Atlantic Geomagnetic Anomaly is growing and spreading, threatening the satellite industry (totally unique). Ocean temperatures are reaching record all-time highs,, from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean to the South Pacific, threatening the most populous top layer of sea life.

What goes up, must come down. Since 2022, the weather has been decidedly … strange. If not historic. And it is all related to a lot more water. All-new “gorilla hail,” turbo hurricanes, record cyclone intensity, and global flash flooding —even in the desert— are now regular headline features. So much so that the End Times podcasters are having a field day with all this weird weather. Welcome to the new normal. NPR, this week:

What could have caused a flurry of seemingly unexplained oceanic and meteorological outliers in only a few years? SUVs? Freon? Greta Thunberg’s flagging faux celebrity?

Well, relax into the hot tub time machine, prepare for acceleration to 88 mph, and let’s travel back in time and space to July, 2023’s Coffee & Covid, lightly edited for modern audiences and Portlanders.

July 28, 2023 — Overheated

The “experts” are experiencing peak climate hysteria as record summer heat waves wash across Europe. Smarter scientists are pushing back. But there is one massive, unreported story that provides a complete explanation for any increased world temperatures we might be living through this summer. It’s not atmospheric carbon dioxide. Whatever it is, it heated up the ocean depths, to the point that it’s making coral reefs unlivable for the crusty little critters:
