Event Update For 2014-06-16

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.

http://www.alabamas13.com/story/25786091/northport-fire-puts-out-overnight-car-fire
http://www.wvuatv.com/content/car-fire-investigations

Note: This second car to ignite was about 3 miles away from the first car, and the fires broke out at about the same time, so arson is highly unlikely unless there was a team of arsonists working together to make sure these two cars ignited at the same time, or unless the arsonist has teleportation or time travel capabilities. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any hydrogen sulfide or methane in the air above closer to the ground, making fires, explosions and people and animals sickening and/or dying more common during those hours. As the atmospheric contamination problem intensifies there will be more cars bursting into flame like this. It's happened to vehicles being driven too, of course, where two vehicles have burst into flame at the same time on different sides of a highway and that sort of thing. Same general area, same timeframe, same atmosphere...

Quote: "Deputy Clark County Fire Chief Jon Klassen says 911 callers reported a 'pop' sound before the fire was reported."

Note: There's that popping sound again, heard right as many fires have broken out in the last couple of years. That's the sound of flammable gases in the atmosphere finding an ignition source (often electrified copper) and igniting with one or more smallish explosions, which is what makes that sound. If you hear a sound like that at your residence, you might wanna do a walk-thru and make sure nothing has started burning...

2014-06-16 - Man, 58, burns to death while conducting controlled grass fire on Lakeshore Road near the Belle River (Canada):
http://blogs.windsorstar.com/2014/06/16/lakeshore-grass-fire-victim-58-dies/

Quote: "Lesperance said the property belongs to the Belle River sewage treatment plant."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is adsorbing onto materials. Then when fire breaks out, the smoke may contain some unburned hydrogen sulfide, which can knock you unconscious or dead. Even if just knocked unconscious, if there's a fire burning right there then you're apt to die anyway, like this man. I've been noticing a fair number of deaths just like this one, to go along with the various firefighters dropping dead...

In the long run the methane will win that battle and the Earth will bake. In the short term though, who knows, could see volcanic winter, or wild variations as the climate continues to destabilize, torn between the competing forces...
