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.

Note: A number of similar incidents in the last few years have resulted in children 'dying' and 'coming back to life', often to die again (for real) shortly afterwards. Hydrogen sulfide is known to put rodents into a kind of 'suspended animation' where there is virtually no heartbeat and the body temp drops to room temperature, making them look dead when they aren't. Scientists tried it with pigs too and it didn't work. So my working theory is that it's the size of the mammal that affects whether the 'suspended animation' effect is possible - rodents are small, pigs are large. Children and cats are small too, and it looks like they're small enough that sometimes they get put into suspended animation and are declared dead, even by trained doctors.
There've been a very few similar cases involving adults too. In those cases, they didn't mention the size of the person, but they happened to people who were old and/or who lived in poverty-stricken areas, so they may have been frail and/or skinny, so this might rarely affect adults too. In any case, for this to happen at all, it must take just the right dose over just the right amount of time, else you just end up with a corpse. Ya gotta wonder how many people have been presumed dead and buried just to awaken later in a coffin and suffocate, probably mostly children.
For more information about this particular subject, see the 2013-07-21 update, when a newborn baby was pronounced dead and 'came back to life' in Londrina (Brazil)...
2015-01-27 - Man has seizure at 1:20 AM at home, firefighters respond, roommate attacks them with swords, in Lansing (Michigan):
http://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2015/01/27/sword-swinging-lansing-firefighters/22406379/
Quote: "The man came out swinging with swords in both hands around 1:20 a.m. at a home in the 1500 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, Lansing police Public Information Officer Robert Merritt said. Firefighters had responded to the home to help the man's friend, who was having a seizure, Merritt said. He said the armed man was upset because he felt firefighters weren't helping his friend quickly enough."
Note: Near the Grand River. Here's a Google Maps link of the area. So one guy starts having a seizure in the wee hours and his roommate goes nuts with swords when firefighters show up. Somehow I think that 'whatever' affected the one man's brain and induced the seizure also affected the other man's brain too...

Yo Jonny! Thanks for this latest (scary) update. Just considering being buried alive is too much for me. i'd rather be instantaneously knocked out by H2S. i just had another thought - why don't the authorities use it for those cases where the death of an incarcerated person is called for? It would be over before the person could even think about it!

They use hydrogen cyanide to execute people. Why that instead of hydrogen sulfide? Could be that hydrogen cyanide doesn't make people foam at the mouth or start coughing up blood, or not often - a cleanup issue. Plus, you'd have the 'are they REALLY dead' possibility with hydrogen sulfide, and people in the execution chambers aren't there to be put into 'suspended animation'. Families of victims want some certainty on that sort of thing. Heh.
ReplyDeleteMulch, I know! Nyaaa-aaa-aaah! I have some mulch around too. Was trying to be kind to my trees and shrubs, like most mulch-users. Haven't put any down in two years or so though, so I'm hoping it's mostly broke down into the soil. Not that the GROUND hasn't belched smoke or fire here and there too though!
Really? i thought they used some complicated "drug cocktail" that hasn't worked too well in some cases.
ReplyDeletei came across this, regarding the Monarch butterfly "come-back."
http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2015/01/monarch-butterfly-population-still.html
Monarch butterfly population still perilously low, new survey finds
[begins]
The world's migrating monarch butterfly population has bounced back slightly from its record low last year, but the new numbers are still the second smallest on record. According to WWF-Mexico and the Mexican government, butterflies covered 2.79 acres (1.13 hectares) in nine colonies this year in the Mexican forests where the insects overwinter. This is a 69 percent increase from last year's nadir of just 1.65 acres (0.67 hectares), however, the new numbers remain hugely concerning.
"The population increase is welcome news, but the monarch must reach a much larger population size to be able to bounce back from ups and downs," said researcher Tierra Curry with the Center for Biological Diversity, adding that "this much-loved butterfly still needs Endangered Species Act protection to ensure that it's around for future generations."

Skin patches to turn people into batteries
Battery
© National University of Singapore
In the sci-fi classic The Matrix, one of the film's most bananas moments reveals that futuristic machines are using cocooned human bodies as a kind of bioelectric power source. Those rascally science fiction writers - always with the crazy concepts.
Well, it turns out the people-as-batteries scenario is actually well on its way. A new device unveiled last week at a European research conference is designed to do just that - tapping the energy of human body to generate power for wearable computers and devices.
The postage-stamp sized generator, developed by researchers at the National University of Singapore, actuall y leverages the power of static electricity. When certain kinds of dissimilar surfaces are put in close contact, an electrical charge builds that can be harvested when the surfaces are flexed or pulled apart.
The phenomenon is called the triboelectric effect, and the new device radically miniaturizes the approach by using nanoscale elements - plus the wearer's skin itself as one of the opposing surfaces. The research was presented at this year's IEEE MEMS 2015 conference in Portugal. [there's more]

The drug cocktail is for injection-based executions. (Which, as you said, doesn't always work very well.) I was just talking about gas-chamber-based executions - they use hydrogen cyanide for that.
ReplyDeleteHad a bizarre monarch butterfly experience this past summer, or maybe it was the summer before last, I forget. There were like a thousand of them perched on my hedge shrubs and I was watering. Well, they took flight as I got close, but they didn't leave, they spiraled around and around, like a vortex of monarch butterflies, right over my head. I raised my arms to the sky and spun around looking up at them right over me, glorying in the moment. Never seen them do that before, or since. It was kinda magical. Maybe they were thirsty and they were rewarding me or something, I dunno.
