Jumping Jack Flash Hypothesis: It's A Gas Gas Gas

Event Update For 2015-01-23

http://jumpingjackflashhypothesis.blogspot.com/2012/02/jumping-jack-flash-hypothesis-its-gas.html

The seas, lakes and oceans are now pluming deadly hydrogen sulfide and suffocating methane. Hydrogen sulfide is a highly toxic water-soluble heavier-than-air gas and will accumulate in low-lying areas. Methane is slightly more buoyant than normal air and so will be all around, but will tend to contaminate our atmosphere from the top down. These gases are sickening and killing oxygen-using life all around the world, including human life, as our atmosphere is increasingly poisoned. Because both gases are highly flammable and because our entire civilization is built around fire and flammable fuels, this is leading to more fires and explosions. This is an extinction level event and will likely decimate both the biosphere and human population and it is debatable whether humankind can survive this event.

A. More fires and more explosions, especially along the coasts, but everywhere generally.
B. Many more animal die-offs, of all kinds, and especially oceanic species.
C. More multiples of people will be found dead in their homes, as if they'd dropped dead.
D. More corpses found in low-lying areas, all over the world.
E. More unusual vehicular accidents.
F. Improved unemployment numbers as people die off.

2015-01-23 - Iowa State University researcher studying therapies for hydrogen sulfide poisoning survivors:
http://www.news.iastate.edu/news/2015/01/22/hydrogensulfide
http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-01-veterinary-potential-therapy-hydrogen-sulfide.html
http://www.businessrecord.com/Content/Default/-All-Latest-News/Article/ISU-researchers-battle-hydrogen-sulfide-poisoning/-3/248/67290

Quote: "Wilson Rumbeiha, a professor of veterinary diagnostic and production animal medicine, said the poison targets multiple systems in the human body, including the respiratory and cardiovascular systems and the brain. In high enough concentrations, exposure to the gas can be acutely fatal. But Rumbeiha’s research is focused on the long-term consequences of hydrogen sulfide poisoning in survivors. He said exposure can bring about psychological and neurological problems in humans, sometimes months after the exposure. 'In some cases, survivors can end up in a permanent vegetative state,' Rumbeiha sad. 'We don’t have an antidote, and little is known about the mechanisms behind how it works. It’s really a novel area that hasn’t been investigated very well.'"

Note: So as more people continue to get hit by hydrogen sulfide around the world, peoples' brains will take damage and they'll experience psychological and neurological problems, sometimes months AFTER exposure. In other words, people are going to be going crazy in rising numbers and from I've seen so far it looks like a fairly high percentage of people so afflicted tend to be violent - sometimes extremely violent - as they succumb and go insane.

Another question that it would be useful to have answered: Is the neurological damage the same, better or worse if the poisoning occurs via respiration, as compared with being poisoned via touch or via ingestion? And how about damage to other organs, like kidneys and livers and hearts - is that different depending on the method of poisoning? I suspect that breathing hydrogen sulfide gas does the most damage to the brain and being poisoned via ingestion does the most damage to the kidneys and livers, and it probably makes some difference where on your body you're poisoned when it's via skin contact, like when you touch garbage or wood or car upholstery or whatever on the day after a cloud blows through in the wee hours...

That timing was no coincidence, and everything is still escalating today, and that will continue into the future, even long after there are no more human beings left alive on the surface of this planet...

2015-01-22 - Doomsday Clock moved up 2 minutes to 11:57 PM:
http://news.sciencemag.org/people-events/2015/01/bulletin-atomic-scientists-moves-doomsday-clock-2-minutes-closer-midnight

Quote: "The board that runs the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (BAS) has decided to move the minute hand on its symbolic Doomsday Clock 2 minutes closer to disaster. The clock now shows 3 minutes before midnight because the 'probability of global catastrophe is very high' as a result of continuing climate change and efforts to modernize nuclear weapons stockpiles."

Note: I think their Doomsday Clock's still running about 3 or 4 minutes too slow...
