QUESTION: Marty, Your computer warned that we would be heading into global cooling, not warming. But you also warned that we would see increased volcanic activity and the risk of a volcanic winter. Well, this has been the coldest winter I can remember. With Mt Spurr stirring, another offshore from California, and some hinting at Yellowstone erupting, do you have any update on this aspect from Socrates?

ANSWER: Nothing has changed. We are heading into a more active volcano period, and that does raise the risk of a volcanic winter in which crops fail, and there will be a shortage of food. I still recommend that you stockpile two years’ worth of food. It is not that you will save money, but that the supply may be seriously diminished. Our models of Wheat warn that this year is the Directional Change, and we can see a shortage into 2028.
However, there are rising concerns about the Supervolcano in Italy that appears to be coming to life. A 4.4-magnitude earthquake struck Italy’s Campi Flegrei supervolcano Monday evening. It was at a depth of 3 kilometers, which is the strongest earthquake to hit the area in the past 40 years, according to INGV data. The quake is part of an ongoing “seismic storm” that has seen over a dozen events over 2.0 magnitude in the past 48 hours. The eruption of Mr Vesusius, who buried Pompeii in 79AD, is related to this region. As far as Yellowstone Supervolcano is concerned, it has been showing some more minor activity, but nothing major just yet.
During January 2025, the University of Utah Seismograph Stations, responsible for the operation and analysis of the Yellowstone Seismic Network, located 56 earthquakes in the Yellowstone National Park region. The largest event of the month was a minor earthquake of magnitude 3.7. I would be more concerned about Italy just yet.
There are a number of Supervolcanoes around the world and perhaps the most recent one to erupt was in Italy. The term Supervolcano has been popularized by the BBC and the Discovery Channel story on Yellowstone back in 2005. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), a supervolcano is any volcanic center that has explosively erupted at least 1,000 cubic kilometers (240 cubic miles) of fresh volcanic material in a sudden, violent manner – in a so-called supereruption – often producing a huge depression crater named a caldera. Currently, Italy’s Campi Flegrei volcano has been showing signs for the first time in nearly 400 years that it is still alive and well and capable of making a lot of people experience a very bad day.
Aside from Yellowstone, the largest volcanic eruption in the Northern Hemisphere in the past 100,000 years has been attributed to a Supervolcano, which erupted some 39,400 years ago in what is known as the Phlegraean Fields by Naples, Italy. This has been documented from several sources. The ashes from this eruption were distributed over the entire eastern Mediterranean and up to central Russia. This was a huge event that clearly also produced a Volcanic Winter, and that is what is the worst thing for the rest of the world who resides at a safe distance from the actual Supervolcano.
We are beginning to witness a rise in volcanic activity as we enter solar minimum. Hopefully, we are not facing a catastrophic volcanic winter period. But it also does raise some concerns that a pole shift can be far more rapid than previously anticipated. I believe that people prefer to assume uniformity rather than a catastrophe. A stalagmite-based paleomagnetic record of the post-Blake excursion reveals details of repeated polarity drifts have occurred during periods of low geomagnetic field intensity at 100 thousand years before present around the time of this Naples eruption. One surprisingly abrupt centennial reversal transition occurred in 144,000 provides unprecedented evidence that raises fundamental questions about the speed of geomagnetic field shifts. Such rapid polarity changes could severely affect satellites and human society in the future if the current geomagnetic field intensity continues to decrease.
We have a pole shift, climate change, and volcanic eruptions seem to be interlinked on a correlated basis. Our correlation models have warned that this is something that needs to be investigated. For the first time, laying out this record produces what appears to be a single geological archive creating a precise chronological order. These types of events can take place in the space of even just a single decade.
The recent events at the Campi Flegrei volcano have provided a warning sign for the first time in nearly 400 years. The ground at the caldera’s center has bulged by 4 meters, warning that lava is collecting again. This uplifting interestingly began in 1985 with this ECM wave. Keep in mind that the eruptions at the Supervolcanic level took place around 315,000, 205,000, 157,000, and 18,000 years ago. A minor event is still at the level of Vesuvius. So, while we no doubt face a major Supervolcanic event, that level may still be off several thousands of years into the future. What is emerging now is more likely to be an important event, but not at the Supervolcanic level.

Justin Trudeau continually touts that Canada is on track to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. Of course, all of the politicians claiming that they can meet this target will not be in politics long enough to execute the plan. In fact, numerous studies have found that it will be impossible to meet net zero by 2050, no matter how much governments spend on climate change.
The Fraser Institute found that Canadian workers will be paying C$8,000 annually by 2050 to meet these impossible targets. The institute believes that as a result of the climate agenda, real GDP will decline by 7%, and income will decline by 6% per worker, resulting in 250,000 fewer jobs. Simulating the Emission Reduction Plan (ERP) into 2050 would, at best, lead to a 70% reduction in CO2 emissions.
The study then began looking at the carbon tax. Forcing companies to pay C$400 per tonne could decrease emissions by 68%, but tripling that figure to C$1,200 would only result in an additional 6% decline. These measures could cause GDP to fall a massive 18%, with incomes declining by 17%.
Kenneth Green in “Rapid Decarbonization of Electricity and Future Supply Constraints” noted that Canada simply does not have the infrastructure to support these lower carbon goals. “Canada would need to rapidly build infrastructure on a scale never before seen in the country’s history,” Green stated. He estimates that the nation would need an additional 684 TWh of electricity by 2050 to meet demand. Green believes Canada would need around 16 new nuclear power plant facilities, which he estimates would take 112 years to complete.
Wind power is not a reliable alternative. Canada would need to build 575 new wind-power installations, which would take an estimated 1,150 years to complete and 1 million hectares of land. Solar is not an option. Canada would need 840 solar generating stations and 1,680 years to complete by 2050. Green did not factor in the regulations and legalities in approving such projects.
Some have deemed the Paris Accord and other nations heightened pledges “emissions impossible.” There is no feasible way for nations to simply eliminate carbon emissions. Yet, that will not prevent governments from extorting the people for a scheme that is doomed to fail.
The attached report on Global Weather for December 2024 Data has charts showing the relationship between CO2 growth and Temperature increases going up since we started to accurately measure CO2 in the atmosphere in 1958. These Charts were created by showing CO2 as a percent increase from when it was first measured in 1958, the Black plot, the scale is on the left and it shows CO2 going up by about ~34.0% from 1958 to December 2024. That is a very large change as anyone would have to agree.
Now how about temperature, well when we look at the percentage change in temperature also from 1958, using Kelvin (which does measure the actual change in heat), we find that the changes in global temperature (heat) is about ~.3% and may reach .5% by 2028. To even be able to see this minuscule change we had to reduce the scale of the Temperature Axis by a factor of ten.
This Chart 8 uses unaltered values from NOAA and NASA properly displayed ,and the Blue and Yellow projections are created by Microsoft Excel not me.
The NOAA and NASA numbers tell us the story of the Very Small Changes in the temperature of the planets Atmosphere As Carbon Dioxide goes up geometrically.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin found $20 BILLION in public funds that his predecessors from the Biden era of perpetual spending purposely wasted. Project Veritas first discovered the deliberate wasteful spending of the EPA through investigative journalism. A former EPA staffer called the agency’s spending under Biden akin to throwing gold bars off the Titanic. Zeldin is demanding that recipients return the “gold bars.”
“The “gold bars” were tax dollars, and “tossing them off the Titanic” meant the Biden administration knew they were wasting it,” Zeldin shared on X after posting the “extremely disturbing” Project Veritas video. “[T]his scheme was the first of its kind in EPA history, and it was purposefully designed to obligate all the money in a rush job with reduced oversight.”
It is far easier to retain funds than it is to retrieve them. Zeldin recently saved the government $50 million on a grant to the Climate Justice Alliance, a group that believes “climate justice travels through a Free Palestine.” Why did a government agency provide this alliance with $50 million? A portion of the grant was intended for a CONCERT to promote awareness for climate change in Palestine. The group claimed the Trump administration is simply spreading “misinformation” that “aims to scapegoat non-white and non-rich people.”
Even the weather is racist and sexist, according to the far left. Everything can be chalked up to climate change. Hillary Clinton said that the weather was hurting women in Ukraine, so it is on course for a leftist agency to say they need funds to fight climate change in Palestine. It is absolute lunacy, but a portion of the population nods in agreement and believes that privileged Americans should pay to somehow fix the nonexistent situation.
Let’s take a closer look at this organization that claims a just transition cannot happen through charity alone. As noted on the group’s website: “We must organize to move money out of the old economy using both public and private vehicles. We must weaken the power of the speculative markets, extreme energy, worker exploitation, extraction and militarism while strengthening economic and political democracy, placing power in the hands of the people.” Do you see a conflict of government interest here?
The EPA is one of countless agencies that have been weaponized by the left. For years, the people have paid into these ANTI-AMERICAN agencies that were openly working against the democracy of America in favor of globalist pursuits. The show is over.
Legendary trends forecaster Martin Armstrong returns to Outer Limits of Inner Truth (https://www.outerlimitsradio.com/martin2025/) us to share his unparalleled insights into the shifting political landscape. Armstrong offers a unique perspective on Washington’s entrenched “deep state” and shares insider details on RFK’s strategic political movements and his encouragement for RFK to collaborate with Trump.
Armstrong’s economic forecasts paint a complex picture of the global economy, predicting possible downturns in Europe and the United States. Our conversation covers the structural challenges facing the European Union, the historical context of communism’s failures, and the impact of big pharma on political decisions. We also explore the dynamics of cabinet selection and the strategic use of tariffs during the Trump administration, providing a comprehensive analysis of the intersection of politics, economics, and international relations.
Corruption and financial dynamics on a global scale are unpacked as Armstrong navigates the murky waters of Washington’s political landscape. We address geopolitical tensions, including Russia’s actions and the economic struggles in European nations like Germany. The episode also highlights issues of financial transparency in Ukraine, while maintaining a hopeful outlook on the resilience of freedom-minded individuals against unwelcome policies. Armstrong’s predictions of societal shifts and political changes offer an optimistic perspective on the possibilities for positive change in the future.

Many of the Roman holidays were recast as Christian. For example, December 25th, Christmas was the feast day of the Roman sun god Sol. Like Labor Day, such holidays gradually evolve, and people initially forget what they were all about. Thus, the Romans were celebrating Sol, but really it had become just a holiday, so they renamed it Christmas.
Pope Gelasius I (492-496) replaced the Roman celebration of Lupercalia with St. Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s Day appears to have been merely a substitute for a cruder Roman Lupercalia holiday at the time called Lupercalia, promoting health and fertility, which would, at times, perhaps become more sexual. There were no gifts or chocolates being handed out. As for the heart, that seems to have evolved from a seed of a plant used for birth control.
The main product of Cyrene and the city of Barce at this time was the silphium plant. This was the main source of prosperity were agriculture and animal husbandry. Horses could graze in the less fertile areas, where the silphium plant grew wild. Silphium juice’s value for pregnancy prevention brought great wealth to this region. The historian Pliny tells us that it was a veritable cure-all; it is said to have had hundreds of medicinal and cosmetic uses. It was used to treat everything from chills to fevers. Hippocrates tells us that it could be used as a poultice or to soothe the stomach. Cooks also used the plant in their recipes.
However, this plant was used as a type of birth control. Indeed, medical evidence from classical antiquity informs us that it was the drug of choice for contraception. The Greek physician Soranus of Ephesus suggested taking a dose of silphium “the size of a chick-pea” once a month, both to prevent conception and “destroy any already existing.” The ancient abortion pills.
It is also believed that the seed of this plant is where we get the image of love and the heart.
It was so widely used that it is now extinct.
The last surviving plant was said to have been given to Emperor Nero.

Only 10 of the 195 nations on board for the Paris Agreement have met the February 10, 2025, deadline to release their “nationally determined contributions” (NDCs). These NDCs are presented as detailed blueprints for how nations will continue cutting emissions to meet each five-year global stocktake (GST) goal. The problem is that 95% of nations have no plan in place.
The Paris Agreement began ten years and trillions of dollars ago, but no noticeable progress has been made. The United Nations admitted back in 2019 that the Paris Agreement or Accord was destined to fail. Even if every pledging nation met 100% of the UN mandates, they would still fall 2/3 short of meeting their targets. They admit that even if every country involved in those accords complied with their pledges between now and 2030, temperatures would still rise by 3 degrees Celsius by 2100. It is astonishing that nations continue to buy into this agreement that is destined to fail because the targets were created with no regard for naturally occurring weather cycles.
Yet, 195 nations agreed to continue tackling this losing battle. The GST is split into three phases: data collection, technical assessment, and consideration of outputs. Governments and climate scientists have compiled over 170,000 pages spanning over 252 hours of meetings and the final advice from the United Nations is always the same – nations are failing to meet their objectives.
Of the 10 nations who complied with the latest deadline, the US and UK were the only G7 nations to submit plans. The US submitted its plan before Donald Trump pulled out of the Paris Agreement. This is yet another example of how the US has been funding globalist initiatives.
Brazil, the United Arab Emirates, New Zealand, Switzerland, Uruguay, Andorra, Ecuador and Saint Lucia also met the deadline, but the UN has warned that the UAE, Brazil, and Switzerland have plans that are “not compatible” with meeting the 1.5C target by 2035. The UN said that the UK is potentially on the right track if it agrees to INCREASE SPENDING to help other nations meet their goals, a role formerly filled by the US.
“Without dedicated efforts to ramp up finance, you’re not going to achieve the triple [renewable] energy target, so that’s definitely something that needs to be reckoned with in the global stocktake outcome,” the Centre for Science and Environment told Carbon Brief.
Anyone can make a pledge and pander to the climate social justice warrior crowd. That does not mean they intend to follow through. The pressure is placed on the nations who can pay up and are expected to cover the costs for others. Numerous nations who have been touting their lofty climate goals like Australia and Canada plan to release their GST plans after elections as it a bargaining chip. The goal can never be achieved but that will not prevent the United Nations from squeezing every last cent out of member nations.
There is still outrage surrounding the elimination of the EPA. People do not realize just how much money this agency blew through on absolutely nothing. Biden admitted that the Inflation Reduction Act, the most expensive spending package in US history, was about CLIMATE CHANGE at its core and had nothing to do with inflation. Those at the EPA called the act “Biden’s climate law” and were eager to spend the proceeds. Efron told an undercover journalist that they were preparing to spend the money as quickly as possible right up until inauguration day.
The EPA was aware that Trump would likely eliminate their impractical agency. “We gave them [nonprofits] the money because… it was an insurance policy against Trump winning. Because they aren’t [a government agency], they’re safer from Republicans taking the money away,” he said. The EPA awarded nonprofits between $50 and $100 million EACH toward the end of Biden’s presidency.
The Biden Administration effectively permitted this agency to “throw gold bars” off the edge of the Titanic and needlessly spend public funds. All of these investigations lead to the same conclusion. The government provides nonprofits with a large sum and those agencies then funnel the money to smaller agencies, whether its related to climate change or funding terrorism. This is precisely why Trump attempted to freeze all federal funds upon taking office.
