2015-07-01 - Volcano Fuego (Ecuador) rumbles, erupts, belches ash:
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/index.php?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=VA-20150701-48946-GTM

Quote: "The volcano, 50 kilometers (30 miles) southeast of Guatemala City, was belching 'fiery clouds' over the course of the day, said David de Leon, a spokesman for the government's disaster response office. The danger warning issued by the government was one step short of a declaration of emergency requiring evacuation of the communities around the volcano. He said the mountain has been shaken by explosions that have rattled windows and rooftops and spewed columns of ash to some (5,000) 15,000 feet above sea level."

Quote: "Kim added: “I can confidently say that this is some kind of a dolphin. However, it has fur. It’s unusual. Dolphins do not have any fur.'"

Note: Maybe it's MOSTLY dolphin but also partly something else that DOES have fur. In other words, a genetic chimera, a blending of two species, similar to the sheep that have been born with human-ish faces in recent years...

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-07-02/great-plains-water-crisis-aquifer-s-depletion-threatens-farmland

Quote: "About one-fifth of all U.S. cattle, corn, cotton, and wheat depend on the Ogallala. Without it, meat prices would rise, farm exports fall, and rural communities wither, says Bill Lapp, a former chief economist for ConAgra Foods and the Omaha-based president of Advanced Economic Solutions, an agriculture consultant."

2015-07-03 - Polar bears threatened as ice melts away:
http://www.grindtv.com/wildlife/polar-bears-risk-extinction-unless-global-warming-is-reversed/

Note: Both above stories involve dangerously wishful thinking, that we can reverse what's happening and save the oceans and the polar bears. We're way too far along for that. We should be focusing every erg of energy and every resource on survival for the human race itself. I don't know if it's even possible for us to save human beings, but it's definitely impossible if we don't even try...

http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/index.php?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=VE-20150705-49018-IDN

Quote: "The activity at the volcano remains intense. We visited Batu Tara from 30 June - 4 July on our recent Volcano Special tour and observed strombolian eruptions of varying intensity at intervals ranging between 10 and 50 minutes. The strongest explosions caused loud cannon-shot like noises and produced abundant incandescent ejections that reached heights and distances of up to approx. 500 m from the crater. They were followed by glowing avalanches of blocks rolling down the sciara to the sea. On 3 occasions within 16 hours between the evening of 2 and morning of 3 July, unusually strong eruptions produced small pyroclastic flows triggered by collapsing material from the eruption and small parts of the crater rim."

Note: Mother Nature puts on her own fireworks show!

Note: I wouldn't be so sure the people who died at the beaches died because of the heat. People have been dying at beaches all over, regardless of the temperature, so they may have died simply because they were at beaches...

Quote: "Thousands of bees staged an extraordinary attack on a passenger plane at a Moscow airport. They swarmed an Airbus-319 as it was about to start taxiing ahead of taking off from Vnukovo Airport bound for St Petersburg."

Note: I don't consider this an attack, since nobody got hurt and there was no sign the bees were even trying to hurt anyone. It was certainly an unusual swarming event though...

2015-07-08 - Boeing patents laser-powered nuclear jet engine:
http://www.yahoo.com/autos/s/boeing-just-patented-jet-engine-powered-lasers-nuclear-212700391.html
http://www.businessinsider.com/boeing-just-patented-a-jet-engine-powered-by-lasers-and-nuclear-explosions-2015-7

Note: I read a science fiction novel in the 1970s or 1980s that postulated EXACTLY this method of propulsion: using lasers to hit chunks of deuterium and tritium, causing small nuclear explosions. Boeing has added a twist, in that their engine uses the resulting heat to power the lasers. I think the novel was The Jupiter Theft, from 1977, by Donald Moffitt. He died in 2014 so he didn't get to see the very propulsion method he postulated getting patented by Boeing. Dredging this book up from my memory banks was no easy task - that was 38 years ago!

http://www.sott.net/article/298895-Kazakhstan-sleeping-sickness-mystery-solved-Uranium-mine-is-the-culprit

Note: They try to implicate carbon monoxide, but they mention 'other gases' too. It couldn't have been carbon monoxide for the same reason that all the carbon monoxide emitted by cars doesn't cause the same problems in every city in the world that uses cars: carbon monoxide is a lighter-than-air gas. That's why carbon monoxide detectors go on ceilings. So once carbon monoxide exits the mine, it'll head up to the ceiling, which in this case is the sky. They mention methane. Methane is also a lighter-than-air gas. They mention 'hydrocarbon'. That's where you find hydrogen sulfide, since it's produced by bacteria and archaea that eat, among other things, methane. Natural gas from the ground contains hydrogen sulfide and so does oil - that's what refineries do: they 'de-sour' gas and oil and take the hydrogen sulfide and other impurities out. And hydrogen sulfide not only could cause all the symptoms this village experienced, but it's a heavier-than-air gas and once it escaped from the mine, it might very well blow over the village and contaminate the water, the ground, the peoples' clothes and buildings, and get breathed in too. So this town of people afflicted by memory-loss, long-duration sleep and hallucinations - that looks like what you see when you have a population that gets hit by low-level hydrogen sulfide over a long period of time. A gas-emitting mine in the area does explain why it was THIS village that was having problems...

http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2015/0713/Why-is-the-West-Antarctic-ice-sheet-melting-It-may-not-be-just-global-warming

Note: That's what I've been saying all along. And where did that big heat 'blob' come from off the US northwest? No way was that caused by only solar radiation. So that heat, at least a lot of it, also had to come from below, likely from volcanic activity in the oceans, like that volcano that erupted off the coast of Oregon recently...

http://virginislandsdailynews.com/news/tests-ramp-up-to-find-cause-of-red-hook-stink-1.1913790

Quote: "Routch said the odor reminds him of hydrogen sulfide, which can be a byproduct of decaying organic matter.

I don't think the people realize that it is a potential health hazard,' said Routch who worked for several years as an environmental consultant. Routch said hydrogen sulfide can mix with the moisture in the body and irritate tissue. Last year, noxious fumes forced students and staff out of Central High School on St. Croix for months. Tests showed elevated readings of hydrogen sulfide at the school, emanating from the sewer system."

http://www.kmov.com/story/29604535/chrysler-vehicles-susceptible-to-cyber-attacks

Quote: "Hackers can cut the brakes, shut down the engine, drive it off the road, or make all the electronics go haywire."

Quote: "The researchers have concluded that the vulnerable Chrysler models are those from late 2013, all of 2014 and early 2015 that are loaded with Uconnect and the full navigation displays. But Miller said there could be other vehicles with this weakness that he isn't aware of. The researchers did not test any cars made by Ford, General Motors or others - but only because they're a tiny team that lacks the funding to keep buying cars and the time to break into them."

Quote: "Divers off the west coast of Grenada have also observed degassing in the Moliniere Sculpture Park area. The SRC also advises that the alert level system is primarily for Grenada. Currently, the volcano is most dangerous for ships and boats since the gases released by Kick 'em Jenny can lower the density of the water causing them to sink even if it is not erupting. For this reason there is an exclusion zone around the summit of the Kick 'em Jenny."

2015-07-23 - Scientists warn that we'd best slow emissions of heat-trapping gases, or else:

Note: They seem to be missing the fact that it no longer matters what we do - the oceans aren't going to stop spewing methane, and that alone will wipe human civilization off the surface of the Earth. Also, as time goes on, more and more of that methane will be turned into deadly, reactive and explosively flammable hydrogen sulfide by the ancient anaerobic bacteria and archaea that eat methane and produce hydrogen sulfide. So, it's Plan B or die. Nothing is going to alter those options...
