Event Update For 2016-04-05





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.

  1. (as they say in Philly) Yo.

    Another compendium of destruction and mayhem.

    It's clear that "the authorities" have no control whatsoever on these type of events, because they're either willfully ignorant, not paying attention, or simply "aren't sayin'." Whatever the reason(s), the public has no idea what's happening and still consider these as "rare" events, though they happen with increasing frequency and size. People will be "surprised" when it happens in their town or to them directly, exclaiming: "how could this happen?"

    I see an recent event happened near you too Jonny! Welcome to the club (they've been going on all around me, as you know)!

    Last Month Was The Hottest March In The Global Satellite Record, And The Arctic Is Still Sizzling
    http://robinwestenra.blogspot.co.nz/2016/04/abrupt-climate-change-and-climate.html

    [begins]

    Last month was the hottest March on record, according to newly-released satellite data. And it followed the hottest February on record.

    The Arctic was literally off-the-charts warm last month, as we’ll see. It’s no surprise, then, that Arctic sea ice set a record for the lowest maximum extent. [more]

    An earthquake measuring 6.7 has struck the northwest of Vanuatu, the third large earthquake in the same region this week.

    Thursday afternoon's quake came less than 24 hours after another 6.9 magnitude struck slightly to the west in Santo at a depth of 10km.

    Another quake of the same magnitude struck the area on Sunday.

    Block of ice weighing 30kg falls from the sky in India
    http://www.sott.net/article/315985-Block-of-ice-weighing-30kg-falls-from-the-sky-in-India

    Reeling under an early heat wave, people in Harda district of Madhya Pradesh received a cool surprise — an ice chunk weighing about 30kg falling from the sky.

    The chunk, believed to be a megacryometeor (ice-stone) or blue ice, came crashing down in a field on Monday, creating a three-foot-deep crater upon impact. This comes nearly three months after a similar incident in Sagar district in which a 60-year-old woman was injured.

    [uh, that's a 66 lb piece of ice that "fell from the sky"]

    Scientists Discover Theory-Changing Supermassive Black Hole
    http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/04/06/scientists-discover-theory-changing-supermassive-black-hole

    Supermassive black holes have previously been found at the heart of large galaxies, but this is the first time one has been found in a relatively empty area, in a galaxy known as NGC 1600.

    There was believed to be a correlation between the mass of a black hole and the mass of the galaxy's bulge of stars, but this new discovery may have proven that incorrect.

    'Suspicious' wildfire breaks out at Havasu National Wildlife Refuge
    http://www.sott.net/article/315997-Suspicious-wildfire-breaks-out-at-Havasu-National-Wildlife-Refuge

    Authorities said Wednesday's fire started at about 4:30 a.m. local time in the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge, which spans both California and Arizona, and jumped the Colorado River, burning through river bottom vegetation and Salt Cedar and Mesquite trees.

    Firefighters from both states are battling the blaze and additional crews have been requested, Mohave Valley (Ariz.) Fire District Chief Ted Martin said in a statement.

    Martin called the fire "suspicious in nature," but said it was too early to determine the cause. Officials reported there was no lightning in the area and that skies were clear at the time the fire broke out.
