2016-10-04 - Hydrogen sulfide blowing over neighborhoods in the Shadow Creek area in Pearland (Texas):
http://www.fox5dc.com/news/national/209444898-story
http://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/us-world-news/209438170-story

Quote: "The TCEQ declined an invitation to speak with FOX, but sent a copy of its 12-page report released in August, citing extremely-high levels of hydrogen sulfide in the air. Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless gas often described as having a foul odor similar to rotten eggs."

Quote: "Tammy Norris is the mother of two children who has lived in the Shadow Creek subdivision since 2012. She loves her home but says a mysterious foul odor, reeking of rotten eggs, has permeated through her neighborhood. 'The smell is so bad that physically, you don't want to take it in, like you know in your head it has to be something bad,' says Norris."

Quote: "'Sometimes in the house, it smells like gas is leaking or something,' describes Wallace."

Note: That's right, people are confusing the smell of hydrogen sulfide with the smell of mercaptan which is added to natural gas to give it an odor. So if you smell a 'gas leak', you may actually be getting poisoned by hydrogen sulfide...

2016-10-04 - Arctic methane gas emissions have significantly increased since 2014:
http://www.sott.net/article/330155-Researchers-find-significant-increase-in-Arctic-methane-gas-emissions
http://siberiantimes.com/ecology/others/news/n0760-arctic-methane-gas-emission-significantly-increased-since-2014-major-new-research/

Quote: "'The area of spread of methane mega-emissions has significantly increased in comparison with the data obtained in the period from 2011 to 2014,' he said. 'These observations may indicate that the rate of degradation of underwater permafrost has increased.'"

Note: Feedbacks are kicking into higher gear now. The more methane that spews, the hotter it will get, which will cause more methane to spew, which will make things even hotter, which will make yet more methane spew, and so on and so on. We'll be long gone from this planet - voluntarily by leaving or involuntarily by dying - long before just this one aspect of the ongoing extinction event has reached its apex...

http://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/scientists-investigate-discovery-of-fumaroles-atop-mount-meager-a-dormant-volcano-near-pemberton

Quote: "Experts are taking a closer look at Mount Meager, a dormant volcano north of Pemberton, after they discovered activity on the peak earlier this summer. Volcanologist Melanie Kelman with Natural Resources Canada said sulphur smells and volcanic openings known as fumaroles were spotted on the the long-dormant volcano. She said it is not uncommon to find fumaroles on the peak, and it could have been thinning ice that exposed the vents. While fumaroles pose no risk to the public, she said it would be unsafe to approach or enter them as they are letting off hydrogen sulfide — a poisonous gas — and the ice around them is crevassed and potentially unstable."

Quote: "Five people fell ill from an unknown hazardous material that appears to be spreading by contact and causing hallucinations, the Coos County Sheriff's Office said."

Note: Here's a Google Maps link of the area. Wee hours and right on the coast. Sounds possible that this was hydrogen sulfide that had adsorbed onto matter, like someone's clothing, thus the people being sickened and hallucinating after contact. Adsorption is a property of gases, where they 'stick' to matter. When this occurs with hydrogen sulfide, you won't smell it, detectors won't detect it, and since it's invisible you won't see it either. But I bet if they had laid some lead acetate around, particularly on the clothing worn by the affected people, then they would have seen it react and change color...

Quote: "South Coast Water District crews this week detected traces of gas in a South Laguna neighborhood where residents have reported foul odors for months.

Coast Hwy. that sits across from the Montage resort."

Quote: "Monday's finding adds a chapter to a saga that has frustrated Laguna Terrace residents, some of whom say they have noticed the stench for at least a year. They have reported odors emanating from sinks, toilets and air conditioning vents."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide just hit coastal Goleta too, about 150 miles WNW of South Laguna, mentioned in the 2016-10-09 update. Here's a Google Maps link that shows both areas...

http://www.thedailyherald.sx/islands/61280-300-pupils-evacuated-at-leonard-connor-school

Quote: "CAY BAY–300 pupils from the Leonard Connor School were evacuated on Monday morning because of a substance suspected to be sulphur dioxide in the air at the school. One teacher fainted and was unable to go to the St. Maarten Medical Center (SMMC) because there was only one ambulance in service busy with another emergency."

Quote: "We have pupils who get nose bleeds and suffer from short breaths and today we had to evacuate because one of the teachers fainted."

Note: Here's a Google Maps link of the area. So they don't know what it is, but they suspect sulfur dioxide. Maybe they're right, or maybe it's hydrogen sulfide oozing up through the ground or blowing ashore from the ocean right there. Both gases have a similar sulfury odor. Either way, not good...
