Art Bell presents extended readings from his co-authored book with Whitley Strieber, "The Coming Global Superstorm," a work of researched fiction that dramatizes a catastrophic climate shift. The narrative opens with ocean buoys detecting sudden temperature drops in the North Atlantic and Antarctic, signaling that the world's ocean currents are changing course with devastating consequences.
The book weaves between a fictional scenario of civilization-ending storms and factual climate science, examining how the North Atlantic current regulates global weather. Art and Whitley explore geological evidence of past sudden climate shifts, the mysterious origins of ancient monuments like the Sphinx and the sunken structure off Yonaguni, Japan, and legends of prior civilizations destroyed by superstorms. They argue the Zodiac may be an ancient warning calendar marking cyclical catastrophes.
Art shares alarming listener reports from Alaska, New Hampshire, and the Great Lakes region describing unprecedented winds, glacial retreat, and weather anomalies. He notes that 40 percent of Arctic ice has disappeared in two decades and that the North Atlantic current may already be shifting, suggesting the book's fictional scenario is becoming reality.
