Event Update For 2016-05-16





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: "The cause of death remains undetermined. Police said there were no apparent signs of trauma or injury."

Quote: "State police released the name of the man found dead Monday evening in Bullskin Township, but said they are not investigating the death as a homicide."

Note: So not a homicide, no injuries, no wounds. But people in the area did say they heard 'gunshots', which means they heard small explosions, not necessarily gunshots. Could be some gas blew by, and there were some small explosions in the area, and the gas knocked this man dead then blew on...

  1. Thanks for the update, Jonny! By now it's becoming clear that the number one item on your list every day, in terms of numbers, is CARS burning - either while parked (most of the time) or running. As a class, vehicle fires (all kinds) are the largest with people and biota dying off probably a close second (if you count each individual fish, clam, whale, porpoise, etc this would undoubtedly be the largest class). It all adds up to increasing death every day.

    The Dying Earth - news from the Indian subcontinent and Sri Lanka

    It feels like 60C (140F) Indian temperatures hits deadly limit as high humidity increases danger
    http://robinwestenra.blogspot.co.nz/2016/05/the-dying-earth-news-from-indian.html

    The maximum temperature recorded on Sunday was 44 degrees Celsius, breaking all records - and the coming days will offer no relief to locals.

    According to the MeT department, the temperature is going to stay at a sweltering 44 degrees till Wednesday.

    "The heat waves will continue to haunt the residents for few more days.
    The mercury might drop a little by the end of this weekend," a senior official from the MeT department said.

    With the rise in humidity levels, cases of viral fever, diarrhoea, heat stroke and chicken pox have also increased.

    Working 60 Hours A Week At 3 Part-Time Jobs And Still Living Paycheck To Paycheck
    http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/working-60-hours-a-week-at-3-part-time-jobs-and-still-living-paycheck-to-paycheck

    And those that are actually working are the fortunate ones, because in one out of every five families in the United States nobody has a job. There are more than 100 million working age Americans that are currently not employed (yes this is true), and as I pointed out yesterday, job cut announcements by major firms are currently running 24 percent ahead of last year’s pace. But unemployment is just part of the overall problem. There is this growing misconception out there that if you “have a job” that you must be doing okay. Unfortunately for the growing number of “working poor” in America, that is not true at all.

  2. Ecuador struck by 6.7 magnitude earthquake


    A strong earthquake measuring 6.7 on the Moment magnitude scale struck Ecuador early Wednesday, one month after a much larger quake killed some 660 people, the US Geological Survey said.

    Algal blooms can be lethal to fish, birds and other marine animals, emitting a toxin that paralyzes the central nervous system. Consumption of shellfish from red tide areas can also poison humans.

  5. You ain't kiddin'! So within a week, both elephants and rhinos killed by lightning strikes, plus the 82 people killed in 2 days by lightning strikes in Bangladesh.

  6. I don't think humanity has any idea how incredibly dire things are going to get.

    Rhinos weigh TONS, as do elephants - but lightning shuts 'em off regardless.

    So let's factor in lightning in our increasingly methane & hydrogen sulfide infused atmosphere; wouldn't the result be LARGE fires and huge EXPLOSIONS (even with no damage)?

  7. Yep, that's right. That's one scenario I've read for just the Clathrate Gun Hypothesis (methane catastrophe without hydrogen sulfide) - lightning igniting clouds of methane and causing massive fires and explosions as storms march across the landscape. Well, looks like that's already happening now, at least to some degree - lightning strikes all over the place, massive fires all over the place, many blamed on lightning. I'm sure it's gonna get much worse though.
