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.

HAH-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Fantastic list here Jonny! I appreciate the high-lighted animal (and marine) die-offs. They don't get nearly enough attention because most people don't give a shit about any other species but our own. When I saw that giant bunch of walrus holding up on that island in Alaska, I knew it wouldn't be long until we saw some of them start dying. It's really gettin' critical with respect to marine life. On a personal note, the once prolific squirrels around here have disappeared. I think the large predator birds that are still around are eating them because they can't find enough little rodents etc to sustain them. No evidence though. Fall around here used to be filled with vibrant yellows and reds, but now the leaves (that have been falling all spring and summer, along with branches for no apparent reason) look burnt, sclerotic and full of holes in some cases. I can't find a single perfect leaf. The trees themselves look emaciated, thinned out and weak, with bare crowns on some and bare branches on others. It's really depressing.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, back to your excellent report. That bridge over the Susquehanna will impact traffic and commute times around there, as well as load up other bridge traffic (as if they're in any better shape after decades of neglect). This didn't make the local news around here.

Planes having trouble, vehicles of all kinds burnin' and crashin' (while their drivers have some kind of medical episode that incapacitates or kills them).
That big vehicle fire in Texas was an eye-opener! Geez!
Meanwhile, it hasn't rained here in about a month, but now we're going to get a TON of it over the next week or so - while the temperatures are still high today but due to drop into the upper 40's at night by week's end! Nyaaah!

Scientists declare an ‘urgent’ mission – study West Antarctica, and fast
http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2015/09/29/scientists-declare-an-urgent-mission-study-west-antarctica-and-fast/?ref=yfp
[begins]
Scientists who have been raising alarms about the endangered ice sheet of West Antarctica say they’ve identified a key glacier that could pose the single most immediate threat to the world’s coastlines — and are pushing for an urgent new effort to study it.
The glacier is not one that most Americans will have even heard of — Thwaites Glacier along the Amundsen Sea. It’s a monstrous body that is bigger than Pennsylvania and has discharged over 100 billion tons of ice each year in recent years.
The glacier is both vast and vulnerable, because its ocean base is exposed to warm water and because of an unusual set of geographic circumstances that mean that if it starts collapsing, there may be no end to the process.

Aw man, that's gonna suck for those people in California. They'll be able to find insurance, somewhere, but it's no doubt gonna cost a whole lot. When our house burned, the insurance company dropped us too, had to go to a second-tier company that an insurance broker found for us, and it wasn't cheap. After two or three years of no more house fires (and the one we had was the only one in 35 years here), things went back to normal. But we don't live in a drought-stricken area that's burning with ever-increasing intensity either, so I doubt things are ever going to be 'normal' again for people in California for fire insurance on homes, especially out in the boonies.

Two Very Disturbing Forecasts By A Former Chinese Central Banker

[quote]
A key observation was the troubling surge in China's capital coefficient, first noted here two weeks ago in a presentation by Daiwa which also had a downright apocalyptic outlook on China, and wasn't ashamed to admit that it expects a China-driven global meltdown, one which "would more than likely send the world economy into a tailspin. Its impact could be the worst the world has ever seen."

We are living in a state of planetary emergency. To have a chance of averting the collapse of civilization and the destruction of the natural world, we must mobilize our society on the scale of World War II to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions [1] at wartime speed. The fact that we have already heated the world to such dangerous levels and show little sign of stopping, is evidence of widespread institutional failure. We cannot expect anyone else to save us. We must organize to save ourselves.
