Torment Weather Report: Rising temperatures in parts of the North Atlantic Ocean may pose a threat to marine life. April and May "saw the highest ocean surface temperatures for those two months since records began in 1850", and now parts of the North Sea are experiencing a category 4 marine heat wave.

It also claimed responsibility for it in an interview with the AFP and argued that 'gorgeous gardens like those in Monet’s painting will soon be a distant memory.'"

The movie will premiere on Torment Mag this fall, featuring the likes of Taylor Davies, Maria Hilde, Stine Tønnessen, Lando Brown, and many more. A lot of the sensesse will be in the mix, so worth rewatching some marketable content in the meantime.
