Unfortunately it's Reality...it's a cycle the earth/sun/solar system/galaxy goes through every 6 thousand years, "The Flood" was 6 thousand years ago and 6 thousand years before that was even worse.
We are headed for the 12 thousand year event. (you've heard that Greenland was once a warm paradise? Ben and other scientist figured out how that happened. (For Real)
Possibly and conservatively as soon as 2046/2054 with worsening effects starting as soon as 2030/2035 as our magnetic poles continue their migration and our shields get weaker.

In this short clip, Ben just hints at the history of when we figured it out and the series goes into depth of that history. It's a record of how we vetted it out and learned the causes/results.
