2014-10-26 - Higher-than-normal amounts of snow expected this winter in Wichita (Kansas):
http://www.kansas.com/news/local/article3395345.html
Note: The climate is being pulled in two directions. The vast amounts of methane belching into the atmosphere are pulling temps higher, but all the volcanoes erupting are pulling temps lower, so the weather is becoming more extreme, in both directions. That's a serious problem for people who don't want to starve to death. Crops require a stable climate. If crops get hit by a couple of days where it's too hot or too cold or too wet or too dry then the whole crop can be lost, and as the climate becomes more extreme the odds that that will happen increase. The US military trained a coupla three years ago on how to quell civilian food riots, where the soldiers playing starving civilians were holding signs saying stuff like, 'Give us food now!' I'm starting to see why they might need such training. The soldiers doing the quelling were all armed, so it looks like they expect the subduing of the starving masses to at least possibly involve the use of some bullets...

2014-10-22 - Earthquakes on the rise around the world, great earthquakes (8.0+) up 265% in the last decade:
http://phys.org/news/2014-10-global-surge-great-earthquakes-.html
http://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2014AM/webprogram/Paper242140.html
Quote: "During the past decade from December 2004 to present 18 great (Mw = 8.0) earthquakes occurred globally (~1.8 per year), compared to 71 from 1900 to mid-2004 (~0.68 per year), yielding an effective rate increase of 265%. Six events had Mw = 8.5, larger than any prior event since the 1965 Rat Islands earthquake."
Note: It's not just earthquakes on the rise, but also volcanic activity, with 2013 being the record year in recorded history in terms of the number of volcanic eruptions. Both the rise in earthquakes and the rise in volcanism were predicted by MISA Theory.
The quakes we could probably shake off (heh), although when they damage nuclear plants, that's obviously a big problem. The volcanism, however, results in heat reaching the ocean floors, which releases the methane frozen in the methane clathrate deposits and expands the viable habitat for the ancient anaerobic bacteria and archaea that produce hydrogen sulfide, and the combination of massive methane and hydrogen sulfide releases results in planetary extinction events. And that's where we are today: quakes on the rise, volcanism on the rise, methane releases spreading, noxious odors of unknown origin hitting us randomly, life dying off everywhere, fires and explosions destroying civilization, the Sun appearing brighter and whiter, and mysterious 'boom sounds' shaking homes and alarming people around the world, sometimes accompanied by a 'flash of light'.
There is no magic cure for these ills. No technology can stop the forces that are now in motion. As powerful as we may think we are, we are puny compared to the power of the Earth. The surface of the planet is not going to be habitable by human beings for much longer. Considering the fact that you could be poisoned to death or incinerated at any time, including today, it could be argued that it's not particularly habitable now. We can pursue Plan B possibilities and create survivable habitats underground or underwater or off-planet (Moon, Mars, asteroids, orbit), or we can continue to do nothing and wait for our turn to be burned to death or poisoned to death or killed by indirect effects like vehicular accidents or homes collapsing or starvation.
2014-10-22 - Responders train for 10-kiloton nuclear explosion in Times Square in coastal New York City (New York):

http://endtimeheadlines.org/breaking-news/emergency-agencies-practice-response-nuke-explosion-times-square/
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014925452
Quote: "The city’s Office of Emergency Management ran a training exercise Wednesday that simulated a response to a 10-kiloton nuclear device exploding at 42nd Street and Seventh Avenue in Times Square, WCBS 880’s Rich Lamb reported. According to the exercise, 100,000 people were instantly killed; a wave of overpressure took down buildings for a half-mile radius and did damage for up to two miles; and a radiation cloud swept over the region."
Note: Say, that's 'coincidentally' right around the upper limit for the destructive force of a big methane cloud exploding. Right off the East Coast, a 2.5 gigaton methane clathrate deposit is now dissociating (melting). There is enough explosive power in just that one deposit to generate 250,000 of these 10-kiloton explosions if the gas were efficiently distributed and detonated (which won't happen). If the wind blows a dense cloud westward, however, then a cloud could explode in Times Square just like they trained for here. There wouldn't be any radiation from such an explosion, nor any EMP, but everything else would be the same, including the 100,000 people instantly killed. Could be that the government might set off a small fission bomb to disguise what happened though, and then there WOULD be radiation and an EMP. No major increase in the body count though. Would they go to such lengths to continue to hide the truth from the sleepy and dying masses? I don't know. Seems like a 'maybe' there.
2014-10-22 - Hydrogen sulfide causing increasing numbers of problems in at least four states:
http://www.eenews.net/stories/1060007591
http://www.eenews.net/assets/2014/10/21/document_ew_03.pdf
Quote: "Neither the states nor the federal government tracks the amount of hydrogen sulfide production, but complaints and permitting related to hydrogen sulfide are growing in four states, according to documents and interviews."
Quote: "Some of the new shale fields, though, have high levels of hydrogen sulfide. Parts of the Eagle Ford field have a maximum concentration of 68,000 parts per million, 130 times the lethal level, according to Railroad Commission data. Parts of the Wolfcamp and Spraberry fields, discovered in Ector County, have levels even higher -- 80,000 to 123,000 parts per million, according to Railroad Commission records."
Note: The second link (PDF) contains a list of areas and the respective concentrations of hydrogen sulfide found in the gas/oil the last time it was checked. I don't know how comprehensive that list is but I doubt it's very comprehensive. In any case, we'd best get that gas/oil out of the ground or it's going to continue getting more 'sour' and it will eventually explode out of the ground on its own just like those recent huge Siberian methane explosion craters, but with waaaay more poison gas. In fact, I don't think we CAN get enough of it out of the ground to prevent that entirely no matter what we do or how hard we try, so ultimately towns and cities will get wiped out as pockets of methane and hydrogen sulfide spontaneously explode out of the ground and blow over populated areas.

Quote: "Employees had called first responders at 7:16 p.m. on a report of a woman who was unresponsive at times at the plant at 1535 30th St. SW., Hendrickson said. Within moments came another call of a second employee vomiting in a bathroom, and soon more were becoming ill with vomiting and coughing. Some patients were in kind of 'an excited delirium,' according to police scanner transmissions."
Note: They tested for ammonia, carbon monoxide, found nothing, and found no leaks of any chemicals at the plant. They didn't test for hydrogen sulfide. 'Excited delirium' has also been mentioned in a number of the cases involving people stripping naked and going crazy. Hydrogen sulfide is neurotoxic and affects the brain, though it is a broad-spectrum poison and affects all parts of the body. This pretty much had to be hydrogen sulfide and it probably got sucked in via the building's ventilation system, just like the noxious cloud that came from outdoors that hit the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis (Missouri), near the Mississippi River, mentioned in the 2014-04-11 update...

Quote: "The eruption has produced a lava field that is growing about 0.6 square miles per day, and which now covers an area roughly the size of Manhattan. The average thickness of the lava is about 45 feet—enough to reach the windows on a four-story building—although these geologic estimates are uncertain since the thickness can only be measured over a small area, Stevenson said. The molten rock is 'spraying out of the ground as high as the Statue of Liberty is tall,' and covering the equivalent of a soccer pitch every eight minutes, Stevenson said."

2014-10-15 - New high-tech sight glasses (e.g. windows) available for hydrogen sulfide environments:
http://www.virtualpressoffice.com/publicsiteContentFileAccess?fileContentId=1775634&fromOtherPageToDisableHistory=Y&menuName=News&sId=&sInfo=
Quote: "The H2S sight glasses are constructed from most corrosion resistant materials practically available, without the use of exotic diamond-amorphous coating techniques. The housing is made from commercially available C-276 Hastelloy, industry standard for corrosion-proof process components, C-Axis Sapphire window, and internal all metal C-seal made from INCONEL® Alloy 718. The seal is heat treated by Solution and Precipitation (NACE) method for sour gas H2S service. The advantage of these Encole sight glasses is the excellent optical clarity not available in fused type sight glasses. Encole sight glasses allow non-distorted viewing of the process behind the window, while retaining the high-pressure and high temperature performance and corrosion resistance."
Note: Okay, so apparently what we need are homes built with diamond-amorphous coating techniques, but if that's not affordable then commercially available C-276 Hastelloy will do, and we can use these sight glasses for windows so we can look outside. And obviously we'll be wanting a lot of those all metal C-seals made from INCONEL® Alloy 718. Can't overlook that!

Note: Combine that death rate with the long three-week incubation period and this is really starting to look like a potential doomsday virus, one that is spreading out of control. It's not quite as deadly as the fictional Captain Trips from The Stand, but it's not so far from it either. Is this Ebola outbreak a worse problem than the atmosphere being contaminated by hydrogen sulfide and methane? No, because the atmospheric contamination problem will last for thousands of years (or more) and that will kill pretty much everything, not just a few species. But in the short term, for human beings in particular, Ebola could end up seriously killing the crap out of us. Of course, they're not mutually incompatible problems and we have both...

Note: Ebola freak-out ensues, but not Ebola. Hydrogen sulfide can cause flu-like symptoms in light doses. People have been mysteriously sickening with flu-like symptoms like this for a while now, pre-dating the Ebola outbreak. As many as 60 children sickened on a passenger plane flying from coastal Cape Town (South Africa) to coastal London (Britain), in May, mentioned in the 2014-05-05 update. That was before the two small plane pilots lost consciousness (or died) while flying and their planes crashed into oceans, and that was before the Ebola outbreak. There have been many such mysterious mass sickening incidents around the world in the last two years or so, not all on planes, but a fair number of them have involved plane passengers or ship passengers. Now, of course, everyone's wanting to blame Ebola, ignoring the fact that these events were happening long before the Ebola outbreak...

Note: Bad time for jokes like that! I did a plane prank on my roommate back in the 1980s, before things were all tense. He was flying from Arizona to go home on leave in Florida. I found a real-size image of a pistol in a gun magazine then cut out an aluminum foil silhouette of the pistol and slipped it inside one of his books. They x-rayed his stuff at the airport and...'Gun! Gun! Swarm!' They took him down hard. He punched me in the face when he got back from leave but since I deserved it, I just nursed my bruised face and we remained friends, and even he admitted that in retrospect it was pretty funny. I would never do such a thing these days though. The times are waaaay different now!

Sheep from two different parts of Norway recorded high levels of radioactivity as well, showing readings as high as 4,500 becquerel.

Quote: "It’s estimated the infested area covers at least 20 acres along Hana Highway, which is much larger than recent infestations found on Oahu."

2014-10-05 - Man, 47, goes out on fishing boat, disappears, empty 'ghost boat' washes ashore, engine idling, in coastal Jacksonville (Florida):

http://www.charlestondailymail.com/article/20141005/ARTICLE/141009619/1276
Note: Eliminate the human component right up front, because humans are likely to go missing and turn manned boats into empty 'ghost boats'. It's way easier to harden machinery against hydrogen sulfide than it is to protect human beings from it...

2014-10-05 - Manganese helps keep hydrogen sulfide zones in check in aquatic systems:
http://www.newswise.com/articles/view/523923/
Quote: "The scientists found that a chemical form of dissolved manganese--Mn(III)--can compose in the water or be mobilized from sediments originating from the continental slope and other sources. It can maintain the existence of the suboxic zone by reacting as a reductant with oxygen and as an oxidant with hydrogen sulfide, preventing the deadly hydrogen sulfide from reaching the surface layer of water, where most fish, algae and microscopic plants live."
Note: From 2006 but relevant. I wonder if we're out there in the oceans, seas and lakes spraying manganese into the water to try to help, if that would help. And if nobody has considered this, start considering! Desperate times, desperate measures...

2014-10-03 - 'Noxious gas' closes Sirius Cove Road on the lower north shore in coastal Sydney (Australia):

http://www.news.nom.co/fire-crews-investigate-noxious-gas-12657650-news/
Note: Toxic gas of unknown origin sent thousands of people puking and fleeing from their homes in coastal Rayong (Thailand) in June, mentioned in the 2014-06-08 update. Noxious gas sickened dozens and knocked some people unconscious on the island of Jamaica in 2013, mentioned in the 2013-02-28 update. California has had a number of 'odor events', Pennsylvania has had one, and so has St. Louis (Missouri), Meriden (Connecticut), Quincy (Massachusetts), Baltimore (Maryland), and more...
2014-10-03 - F-18 fighters fly low over coastal Quincy (Massachusetts), residents freak out:
http://www.patriotledger.com/article/20141003/NEWS/141008219/12662/NEWS
Quote: "Antonuccio said the aircraft passed over her neighborhood shortly after 2 p.m. Friday. She said about seven of her neighbors came out of their homes to see where the noise came from. She said it sounded like something was about to crash into Wollaston Beach. 'We’re still a little shaken,” she said. “All the years I’ve been here, nothing has ever happened like that.'"
Note: A 'rotten egg' odor blew in off the ocean and hit Quincy last year, mentioned in the 2013-05-09 update. Shortly after that, a mysterious plane started buzzing the city at night, mentioned in the 2013-05-10 update. A city councilman there contacted the FAA and asked if he could tell his constituents that the plane was related to law enforcement and the FAA person said no. So the city councilman then asked if he could at LEAST tell his constituents that the plane posed no DANGER to them...and the FAA person said no!
2014-10-02 - Goat born with 'human' head in Argentina:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2777787/Why-dead-goat-born-head-like-HUMAN-baby-s-Argentinian-farmer-forced-hiding-accusations-pesticides-bestiality.html
Note: Not the first time a creature has been born with the head of another species. This was quite possibly a genetic chimera, a blending of two species. As increasing amounts of UV bake the planet, we'll see more chimeras, more albinos, more polycephalic creatures (two heads), along with more standard problems like the UV-poisoning lesions that began hitting dolphins and whales in 2009...
