The Highwire with Del Bigtree - THE SEA LEVEL SCARE UNRAVELS

Episode Date: September 24, 2025

The climate change narrative, long fueled by politicians and media titans profiting from fears of catastrophic sea level rise, is beginning to unravel. Decades-old predictions have failed to materialize, and new studies are now turning the entire narrative on its head.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

This idea of settled science has been really just shoved down our throats for so many decades. When it comes to certain products, certain topics, when agendas are at play or profit margins are at play that are trying to be protected, doesn't just stop the vaccines. We reported here for several years now that the climate science conversation. That's settled science. It's settled. Let's reorganize society very quickly around net zero. We reduced the energy systems in a lot of countries.

Well, where did that come from? That came from the Club of Rome, and that came from a lot of people also that were trying to push this narrative with their own voice. One of them is Al Gore. Now, if you remember in 2006, Al Gore made a blockbuster documentary, and part of that documentary talked about sea level rise. Take a look. In 1992, they measured this amount of melting in Greenland.

Ten years later, this is what happened. And here's the melting from 2005. Tony Blair's scientific advisor has said that because of what's happening in Greenland right now, the maps of the world will have to be redrawn. If Greenland broke up and melted, or if half of Greenland and half of West Antarctica broke up and melted, this is what would happen to the sea level in Florida. This is what would happen to San Francisco Bay. A lot of people live in these areas.

the Netherlands, one of the low countries. Absolutely devastating. The area around Beijing, that's home to tens of millions of people. Even worse, in the area around Shanghai, there are 40 million people. Worse still, Calcutta and to the east Bangladesh, the area covered includes 60 million people. It's a trip watching that again because the first time I saw it, you know, I was a rabid environmentalist, huge Al Gore fan. I thought this was the most important movie ever made. Yeah, I was one of those guys.

And there's a little problem here, right? The oceans aren't right. Like, I mean, no, you're about to get into this. But, you know, here's a little factoid Al Gore should probably think about. When you put something into a documentary and you shoot it with cameras and you put it out to the world, you have just made a time capsule. You will have to answer to the rest of your life. And where are you now?

I mean, what's so incredible is that they're just pushing forward, even though none of these predictions are coming true. It's unbelievable. And I just want to say that as a guy that knows full well what I put into documentaries. When I made Vax, I know what we said. There's going to be an alarming increase in autism, even beyond where it was at.

And at the moment Vax came out in 2016, you could argue where it's somewhere around 1 and,000. And, you know, in that Stephanie Senate says, you know, we could be at one in two boys. I said that seems extreme in that documentary. I hope you're wrong. I pray that you're wrong. But now we're at one in 12.5 boys in California, you know. And so the numbers are going.

I mean, that's what we make a document. I'd be saying, hey, everybody, no need for alarm. The numbers stopped. It stopped. The fact, they started reversing themselves. I would do that. I would do that with human decency. Unfortunately, the predictions that we've made on the show have been right.

We told people the COVID vaccine will not stop transmission. They are lying to you about the 95%. We were right. We haven't had to retract that. We told you that the mask was not based on any science whatsoever. Even though Tony Fauci said, question me and you were questioning science itself, we had no problem doing it. And I knew the cameras were rolling.

And I stand by everything we're doing in every documentary we made, including an inconvenient study. And there's a reason we named it that because this is how an inconvenient truth is put out. with actual facts that we will stand by that stand the test of time. Where are you, Al? Why the hell are we still moving forward when all of this ends up being a complete and total fiction? Well, I think for Al Gore and the settled science crew, it's going to be facts, the new scientific community that's stepping up here and also just our own eyes. Because here are the new headlines with the sea level rise.

This is New York Post. Blockbuster sea level study may turn climate change orthodoxy on its head. We go to the study, a global perspective on sea level changes, and their team says this. Researchers write, statistical tests were run on all selected datasets, taking acceleration of sea level rise as a hypothesis. In both datasets, approximately 95% of the suitable location show no statistically significant acceleration of the rate of sea level rise. They go on to say the investigation suggests that local non-climatic phenomena are a plausible cause of the accelerated sea level rise observed at the remaining 5% of the suitable level. locations. So they're saying basically it's tectonic shifts. It has nothing to do really with climate for those other 5%. So you're talking about 100% essentially is not due to climate change or human

breathing. So in doing this, again, you're seeing this divorce of the settled science crew and you're coming out with scientists that actually have bravery, that actually can do and speak what they want to say and show the facts. And you're seeing this also. Remember, we have Bill Gates talking about blocking up the sun because, well, humans are breathing too much, the planet's getting warmer, so we have to block out the sun because of climate change. Well, we have scientists now at the Scripps Institute. They're coming out and saying, no, no, we're not going to do that. Here's the headline experts warn against five polar geoengineering ideas. One of them is the five most discussed. One of them is stratospheric aerosol injections,

and they say they're unlikely to help, but they also could harm the ecosystem. So this is huge. And so throughout all of this, people are saying, I don't think I trust this anymore. And there's actually numbers to show that too. This is the UK. We have a study of survey where global warming is exaggerated, say soaring numbers of Britons. So it says here the number of Britons who think the danger of global warming have been exaggerated has jumped by more than 50% in the past four years. New research for the Times reveals today. One in four voters now believes that concerns over climate change are not as real as scientists have said.

amid growing public concern at the cost of the government's net zero policies. Remember, they're involved in the later stages now of a rapid shift to society to shut down their energy systems. And the new energy systems of wind and solar, they're just not cutting it. And a lot of the public in America thinks, we're safe here, Trump's in, they're not going to look at this. Well, the states are also moving on this too. This is Ohio. Ohio has a bill right now floating through the legislator. proposed Ohio bill would give utility companies control of customer thermostats in some cases.

What? What could go wrong there? This is what's happening in Ohio. I mean, imagine how dangerous that is. I mean, like Ohio, you have a below zero night. Someone could just cut off like power to grandma's house and, you know, by morning she's not here. And, I mean, it just, it's dystopian to think about that, but why would you ever put your safety, which is your thermostat in the modern world,

determines that, why would that ever be in someone else's hands? That is absolute insanity. And to your point, Del, we're seeing this masked slip of maybe the real reasons why there's been such a hard push to shift society over to net zero. And I want to end here with the co-president of the Club of Rome. We've done a lot of shows in the Club of Rome. This is kind of where this idea that humans are bad

where the environment started. started. It's literally written into their books. And this is the co-president from 2018 to 2024 speaking. It was about two years ago, but it's really relevant because you can see between the lines. Take a look. All right. The second scenario is the giant leap. We wanted to identify a small set of actions, a minimum viable product, to reach as many sustainable development goals in Europe's vision of a social and green region. We wanted to take a system's approach to explore if we can achieve an acceptable level of well-being for the global majority on a finite planet. We conclude that nothing less than the following five extraordinary turnarounds are needed to have

well-being for all while respecting planetary boundaries, ending poverty, addressing gross inequality, achieving full gender equity, transforming the food system and the way we eat, transitioning to clean energy and efficient energy. We argue that these five extraordinary turnarounds in the set of economic refiress, that will drive them form the basis of a well-being economy. It is not a blueprint, but more of a guide for systemic transformation. In this scenario, poverty ends a generation earlier than too little too late. We see gender empowerment in one generation, not 10.

We see a switch to healthier plant-based diets. There is still meat consumption, but at sustainable levels. And we have carbon dioxide emissions every decade to reach net zero by 2050. The economic model everywhere is circular, regenerative, and efficient. Material consumption of unsustainable resources is rained in, fossil energy phased out, and we see a significant redistribution of wealth. In this scenario, we introduce a universal basic dividend, operating like a universal basic income,

with dividends coming to all people, sharing the wealth of the global commons and public goods. Who's taking the wealth now? It is not properly redistributed. redistributed. This is not utopic. This is what is fair and just and what a society in transformation is all about. Why do we think this is important? We know the giant leap will be disruptive. We're talking about a complete shake-up. This is everything, everywhere all at once. It will create shocks. But if it is to succeed, then we

must bring the majority of people along the journey. Didn't Chairman Mao call his giant jump with communism the Great Leap? Am I mixing that up? Is that? Yeah, the Great Leap forward. It wasn't so much a Great Leap. And here they're naming it the Giant Leap. I mean, this is an educated person.

They're saying it right, too. I mean, folks, gee, whiz, that is, you want to know how communism happens. That was a communism speech. What do they call it? The well-being economy. We're all going to be equal. We're all going to be happy. We're not going to get rid of meat.

Some people eat it. me and my friends. Some people have jet fuel, me and my friends, but the rest of you, you well-being mother whatever's is how they see us. Wow, man. I've read this book before. It's called Animal Farm. I know. Absolutely. It's so chilling that that and that's, you know, you see at the UN now, you see the WF, you see all of this coming and, you know, we are sitting on an island right now trying to hold back the attack at our door.
