2016-03-02 - February was warmest month ever recorded:
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.co.nz/2016/03/february-shatters-global-temperature.html
http://robertscribbler.com/2016/03/03/the-roof-is-on-fire-looks-like-february-of-2016-was-1-5-to-1-7-c-above-1880s-averages/
Quote: "Using unofficial data and adjusting for different base-line temperatures, it appears that February 2016 was likely somewhere between 1.15 and 1.4 degrees warmer than the long-term average, and about 0.2 degrees above last month—good enough for the most above-average month ever measured."
2016-03-02 - Arctic ice fracturing and ready to flow out of the Arctic:
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.co.nz/2016/03/ice-is-fracturing-in-arctic.html

2016-03-02 - Mystery deepens around Greenland 'Cold Spot', could indicate slowing of the Gulf Stream:
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.co.nz/2016/03/the-slowing-of-gulf-stream.html
Quote: "Meanwhile evidence is mounting that the long-feared circulation decline is already well underway."
Note: And the heat that that current would normally bring to Europe - where is that heat going? Backing up along the East Coast? Multiple nuclear plants have had to shut down in recent years on the US East Coast because the OCEAN was too warm to cool them. If that becomes 'normal', then either the East Coast will go dark from lack of electricity as all the nuclear plants are shut down, or the East Coast will end up glowing in the dark from melted-down nuclear plants...

Quote: "Olson was present at the scene, and he said he believed a possible cause of the blaze was from a son-in-law's travel-trailer parked in the building."
Note: Here are more parked vehicles going up in flames, and these weren't all of the parked vehicles that spontaneously ignited on this day either. Because more vehicles are bursting into flame generally, and because most vehicles spend most of their time parked, this means more parked vehicles are igniting. People are losing their homes, businesses and sometimes their lives because of this problem, and the problem is escalating. Park a vehicle next to something you don't want to see on fire at your own risk...

Quote: "Residents and fire officials said the fire appears to have started in a car parked in the alley in back of the houses at 166 and 170 Broad St. and to the side of 44 Gold St. which were all gutted by the three-alarm blaze."
Note: Crazy people parking vehicles near where they live. Ah well, they lived, this time, so they can go buy all new stuff. Good for the economy! The worst (non-fatal) car fire so far, that I can recall off-hand anyway, was a parked car that burst into flame at 6 AM at an apartment building in coastal Bridgeport (Connecticut), resulting in a massive inferno that destroyed the entire apartment building and left 120 people homeless, mentioned in the 2015-12-31 update. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any methane and/or hydrogen sulfide in the air above closer to the ground, making fires, explosions and animals and people sickening and/or dying more common during those hours...

Note: Notice the location of these events: near the Gulf of Mexico, near the Umatilla River, near a causeway near the coast, in a coastal city, and in a coastal city on an island. That's no coincidence, but people in non-coastal areas are affected sometimes too, since gas does blow onward with the wind. You're just MORE likely to go insane or drop dead in or near coastal areas, but you're not safe anywhere...

Quote: "Toronto fire says it appears that the fire started in a garbage truck or pickup truck — then spread through the building and the roof."
Note: So this was yet another multi-million-dollar fire caused by a parked vehicle bursting into flame. Think they'll wake up before Toronto is completely destroyed? Wouldn't bet money on it, but hey, we'll find out!

Quote: "Police suspect that the individuals have died following an electrocution. They added that the bodies were found in different places in the ground floor of the house."
Note: If they were all together then electrocution would be more plausible - one person touching another and so on - but scattered around the house? Not very believable. Renal problems - e.g. kidney problems - have been mysteriously killing many people in Sri Lanka too, mentioned in the 2015-01-18 update. From the full hypothesis: "Renal problems - e.g. problems with kidneys - will escalate, as is already happening with crop workers on the western coast of Central America."

http://www.wsoctv.com/news/local/cms-investigating-possible-carbon-monoxide-exposure-at-alexander-graham-ms/164599186
Quote: "Officials initially thought the gas was leaking into a school bus, causing students to feel sick. After testing two buses, no carbon monoxide was found inside the buses."
Note: So they found no carbon monoxide anywhere. Low-level hydrogen sulfide poisoning causes similar or identical symptoms and that won't show up on CO detectors. Also, if the hydrogen sulfide has adsorbed onto matter - like, say, bus seats - then even an H2S detector won't detect it, since it's not floating around in the air. Anytime you touch anything now, you're betting your life that it's not contaminated. Lose that bet enough times and you end up dead...

Note: The water turned pink last fall at a bird refuge in coastal Santa Barbara, caused by bacteria that eat hydrogen sulfide and which only exist in water where hydrogen sulfide is present, mentioned in the 2015-09-22 update. And the oceans are warming and filling up with dead creatures, and the ancient archaea and bacteria that produce hydrogen sulfide love heat and dead stuff, so the Pacific Ocean is rapidly becoming more 'landfill-like', so the ocean spewing poisonous hydrogen sulfide gas is not unexpected. This is going to get worse, much much worse...

Note: The YouTube videos show some different views of the plane coming down as a fireball before it hits the ground, so it was on fire first, THEN it crashed and exploded. The fact that it was on fire probably had a great deal to do with it crashing. This is the 29th aircraft to smoke/burn/explode in 2016...

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...
