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.
2013-02-28 - Mysterious explosion rattles homes in the Tuscon area (Arizona):
http://azstarnet.com/news/local/tucson-atwitter-over-loud-boom-tonight/article_9087a8ac-8155-11e2-807a-001a4bcf887a.html
http://www.tucsonnewsnow.com/story/21419976/what-was-that-shook-tucson
Note: There have been many mysterious explosions shaking homes in the last year, all over the world. These explosions are very likely caused by flammable atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and/or methane plumes detonating. Eventually these explosions will probably be equal in destructive power to a small thermonuclear explosion, like that which devastated Hiroshima, but minus the radiation. (Unless one of these explosions wipes out a nuclear reactor, in which case there'll be a radiation problem too.)

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/pune/Methane-in-choked-trash-chute-causes-explosion-in-housing-society/articleshow/18740707.cms
Note: Yeah, well, I don't think trash being blocked for a few days would generate enough methane for an explosion, because if it could then you'd see trash dumps and dumpsters exploding constantly. Are they aware in India that our atmosphere is filling up with explosively flammable methane gushing from dissociating methane hydrate deposits all over the world? Cuz that's sort of an important fact to be aware of, at least if you live on Planet Earth and you're one of those wanna-keep-living type of people...

Quote: "At the time, Dr. Giovanni Solorzano of the Dr. Otto Rodriguez San Pedro Poly Clinic II told The San Pedro Sun that bruises around the woman’s neck could be consistent with strangulation. According to Eric Heyden, public affairs officer for the United States Embassy in Belmopan, Belize, the autopsy 'may have determined' that Sy had a seizure in the water and drowned."
Note: Seizures don't cause bruising around the neck. Hydrogen sulfide poisoning, however, can cause bruising, as blood vessels explode (though it doesn't always, depends on the concentration and how long your heart keeps beating and pulsing blood). Several of the documents linked in the 'Info Links' section refer to hydrogen sulfide as a 'strangling gas' and there's reason for that. Hydrogen sulfide poisoning can also cause seizures. And she was found dead in coastal waters? Uh huh. Also, look at the 'Other Stories' for this same day: dozens of people sicken and lose consciousness from 'noxious fumes' on the island of Jamaica...

http://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2013/feb/28/one-dead-submerged-vehicle-white-county/
Note: He probably got a whiff of hydrogen sulfide, lost consciousness and veered off road into the river. As mentioned, where you lose consciousness can determine your fate. One of the worst places to lose consciousness is in water, since breathing is an involuntary reflex and you will breathe water until dead. And near bodies of water is where hydrogen sulfide will tend to accumulate since it's a heavier-than-air gas. There have been lots of corpses found in submerged vehicles this last year. Coincidence? I highly doubt that...

Quote: "That, however, did not prevent people from panicking as CSO workers and curious onlookers began to collapse. 'Jesus Christ, what is happening? Somebody tell us what is going on, nuh!' screamed one woman as her colleague fainted. The woman, who used a handkerchief to cover her nose, was one of several frightened-looking CSO employees seen running around as medical officials rushed several persons to ambulances. Police at the scene said medical officials made at least six trips to the Kingston Public Hospital (KPH). 'The hospital ambulances were filled with people complaining that they were finding it difficult to breath,' one policeman told the Jamaica Observer. That was confirmed by a medical official at the KPH who asked not to be named, as he was not authorised to speak to the media. He said a large group of persons suffering from dizzy spells and respiratory problems were taken to the hospital."
Note: This is a harbinger of what's to come worldwide...

2013-02-28 - Sinkhole opens up beneath home in Seffner (Florida), 7 miles from the coast, swallows man, 1 killed:
http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/03/01/3260805/florida-man-vanishes-after-being.html
Note: Florida is much like Louisiana in terms of the composition of the underlying ground. It is quite possible that methane hydrate deposits were created over the ages, then erosion washed soil over parts of those deposits, then animals and plants moved in, then WE moved in and built on top of that land. As the deposits warm and melt, some of that underlying ground - the hydrate deposits, which are a kind of solid - will dissolve into water and methane gas. As that happens, sinkholes will open and there will be land subsidence. This is already occurring in multiple areas in Louisiana and it looks like it's going to be a significant problem for Florida too, which means this will also likely be a problem for the coastal regions of Mississippi and Alabama and Texas, and probably for many if not most coastal regions worldwide...
Nice work. Scary stuff. Refreshing to see someone focused on the h2s.
ReplyDeletePlease consider cs2, especially in all those explosions. Cs2 is erwhere h2s is....for the same reasons....but cs2 is heavier, more persistent, more explosive. More volatile, harder to mitigate in hysrocarbon streams, allowed at higher concentrations in pipelines, etc. Stick with it. You are on to something. BTW, carbon disulfide exposure leads to frank insanity and violent paranoid homicidal acts, among other unpleasantries. research dr Delpech. Please!
Nasty stuff, for sure. But two things make me not worry all that much about carbon disulfide: 1) we know that hydrogen sulfide is present in extinction events, as this document details (PDF):
ReplyDeletehttp://www.chicagocleanpower.org/ward.pdf
And 2) carbon disulfide is a liquid at temps below 115 degrees Fahrenheit, compared to hydrogen sulfide which has a boiling point of -75 degrees Fahrenheit. So you're very unlikely to encounter carbon disulfide as a gas, unless you're standing near a volcano or something.
That's not to say carbon disulfide might not be a problem as the Earth warms more, but it'll really only be a problem for the people who've already figured out how to survive a deadly poisonous and explosively flammable hydrogen sulfide- and methane-enriched atmosphere. (And if they can survive THAT then some carbon disulfide should be no problem for them, since the same things should then work for that too.)
