Event Update For 2016-03-29





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.

Quote: "A man who stopped his car before going to sleep in the vehicle at the Sprint Highway toll plaza in Damansara was burnt to death when the car caught fire. Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Mohd Zani Che Din said that according to an employee at the toll plaza, the man stopped his BMW at the the Touch ’n Go lane at about 4am on Tuesday."

Note: All vehicles are now randomly-igniting firebombs that can go off at any time, parked or driven, so park a vehicle near anything you don't want to see on fire at your own risk. And sometimes vehicles are igniting with people inside them and killing the people too, so it seems prudent nowadays to keep something handy with which to break windows and cut seatbelts, in case your vehicle ignites with you in it, which sometimes disables power locks and windows and can leave you trapped in a burning vehicle, and that's almost always fatal...

Quote: "He said the bird deaths raise many questions. The birds that weren't in the roadway didn't seem to show signs of trauma from crashing into vehicles or being struck. And if they were killed by disease or poison, he wondered why they would all be together. 'It's very unusual,' Wiegand said. 'It's very bizarre.'"

Note: Rotten egg odor just rolled in off the ocean and hit a big swath of Southern California, mentioned in the 2016-03-17 update. The clouds of poisonous hydrogen sulfide gas blowing in off the oceans won't always be that large though, and sometimes they'll be more concentrated too, like flock-killing size, and birds are vulnerable to poison gases due to rapid respiration and low body mass, which is why they used canaries in coal mines. Could hardly be much simpler than that. One of the first signs that this had begun was when birds started mysteriously disappearing between Britain and Scotland, the so-called 'Birdmuda Triangle', mentioned in the 2012-08-29 update. So this isn't that bizarre - poison gas is blowing in off the ocean and killing animals and people, could hardly be any simpler...

  1. Well, now. Seems a certain neck-ed man was walkin' aroun' proclaimin' the 2nd comin' in MY COUNTY! The weird thing is, this is the first I've heard of it. Thanks once again, Jonny, for informing me of happenings where I live in PA from where you live in Missouri! JAY-zis!

    I used to think that the job of toll collector on the turnpike would be a cush job. After reading about that tanker exploding after hitting a toll booth - forget THAT!
    Can you imagine? The person looks up from the last customer only to see, too late, a giant semi coming right at him! HOLY SHIT! KA-BOOOOM! Ged-dem!

    New research indicates more rapid melting of Antarctic ice sheet

    Another bit of modelling that fails to take into account positive feedbacks or the exponential function.

    Antarctic melt impact 'underestimated' - Global sea levels could rise by more than double the current best estimate, according to a new analysis of climate change in Antarctica.

    Climate Model Predicts West Antarctic Ice Sheet Could Melt Rapidly
    http://robinwestenra.blogspot.co.nz/2016/03/new-research-indicates-more-rapid.html

    The great ice sheet, larger than Mexico, is thought to be potentially vulnerable to disintegration from a relatively small amount of global warming, and capable of raising the sea level by 12 feet or more should it break up. But researchers long assumed the worst effects would take hundreds — if not thousands — of years to occur.




    Now, new research suggests the disaster scenario could play out much sooner.

    “Alien fish” caught alive off Pacific coast

    “This in itself is already a rare phenomenon,” the vet explained, “but when you tie the capture of many “genetically altered” subjects together we must consider other events. One of the probable causes of these genetically altered subjects must be researched in the Fukushima nuclear нdisaster.”

    Villagers say they have never seen anything like it and cannot begin to explain how it happened.

    But local media has speculated that it could be the result of poor nutrition [doubtful] or genetically modified foods [possible but less likely than radiation].

    The birth follows that of another two-headed calf born in Peru last year.

    Lost Japanese Satellite Reappears Smashed Into Five Pieces And Nobody Knows What Happened
    https://www.yahoo.com/news/lost-japanese-satellite-reappears-smashed-into-090445572.html

    A black hole-hunting Japanese satellite that disappeared last week has mysteriously surfaced again and made contact with ground control.

    Japanese space agency JAXA lost contact with the Hitomi space probe on Saturday, when the satellite was due to start operations.

    The satellite was later found to have smashed apart into five separate pieces.

    The satellite later managed to send two short communications to mission control though these haven’t helped ground crew to unravel the mystery of what happened.

    “JAXA has not been able to figure out the state of its health, as the time frames for receiving the signals were very short,” said JAXA in a statement.

    The US Joint Space Operations Center, which spotted the broken apart satellite has said there’s no evidence that the probe was hit by space debris.

  3. HAH! Proving my point above about becoming numb to external threats that aren't "right this second":

    Reports of Planet Earth's Death Have Been Greatly ... Underestimated
    http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/news/a43499/new-york-times-climate-republicans/

    Another day, another petrifying New York Times exploration of how we're turning our planet into an overflowing toilet bowl. [How many readers did we lose after that opening?]This time it's a deep dive on the West Antarctic ice sheet, a holdover from the last ice age that's bigger than Mexico and may be melting way more quickly than previously thought. If it disintegrates completely, it could dump enough water into the world's oceans to raise sea levels by 12 feet, a disastrous scenario that could see many of the world's greatest cities—New York, London, Sydney, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Venice—go Full Atlantis.

    At the very least, the accelerated rate could raise the ceiling for sea level rise by 2100 from scientists' previous estimate of three feet to five or six. By the middle of the next century, the oceans could rise by as much as a foot per decade. If this is indeed accurate—and the research team, mostly based at Penn State University, is quick to say it's a worst-case and non-definite scenario—then any children born today better not invest in any beachfront property. [2100? Humans probably won't make it to 2030, the way I see it.]

    But considering scientists file even a three-foot rise under the heading "really bad," it looks like the scale we're working on starts there and ends at "catastrophic, existential threat." We should probably be working to address this, and the international community started to do so with the Paris agreement in November. [Yeah, sure - a bunch of empty promises to do something, maybe later. "See ya in 5 years, we'll have another party." From here the article goes political - as if a politician can "save the planet."]

    With climate change, U.S. states routinely achieving new levels of extreme warmth

    Arndt’s slide shows all state records set for warmth, cold and precipitation extremes since 2010. The amount of red, representing record warmth, is stunning and an irrefutable indicator of climate warming in the United States.

    States have set monthly records for warmth 132 times in the past six years, as portrayed by all of the red in the left-hand column.

    Blue, which represents record cold, is conspicuously absent. In 3,500 opportunities (considering that there are 50 states and that 70 months have passed), states have logged a record cold month only four times.

    Vietnam’s southern Mekong Delta faces worst drought in history – ‘Those who have rice in hands will make fat profits’
    http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2016/03/vietnams-southern-mekong-delta-faces.html

    [this is three separate articles; this, from the first]

    Vietnam's southern Mekong Delta, the country's main rice growing region, is experiencing the worst drought and saline intrusion in recent history that has affected more than half a million people, officials said Thursday.

    [yet they're STILL going export rice . . rather than feed their own people]

    Is India facing its worst-ever water crisis? ‘The unthinkable is happening’
    http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2016/03/is-india-facing-its-worst-ever-water.html

    On 11 March 2016, panic struck engineers at a giant power station on the banks of the Ganges river in West Bengal state.

    Readings showed that the water level in the canal connecting the river to the plant was going down rapidly. Water is used to produce steam to run the turbines and for cooling vital equipment of coal-fired power stations.

    By next day, authorities were forced to suspend generation at the 2,300-megawatt plant in Farakka town causing shortages in India's power grid. Next, the vast township on the river, where more than 1,000 families of plant workers live, ran out of water. Thousands of bottles of packaged drinking water were distributed to residents, and fire engines rushed to the river to extract water for cooking and cleaning.

    The power station - one of the 41 run by the state-owned National Thermal Power Corporation, which generates a quarter of India's electricity - was shut for 10 days, unprecedented in its 30-year history.

    "Never before have we shut down the plant because of a shortage of water," says Milan Kumar, a senior plant official. [more - a real serious read by the end; again more than one article; quotes above and below, both from the first story]

    "We are being told that water levels in the Ganges have declined by a fourth. Being located on the banks of one of the world's largest rivers, we never thought we would face a scarcity of water.

    "The unthinkable is happening."
