Event Update For 2017-04-06





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.

http://www.ooyuz.com/geturl?aid=15381521

Quote: "Emergency responders checked out students and staff who reported feeling lightheaded or nauseous, while others evaluated the odor, which was attributed to a gas leak near the school, according to a social media post from Glassboro Police Department. The exact source of the leak has not been announced, but the post on Facebook also reported elevated carbon monoxide levels in the school."

Quote: "Just before 9 a.m. Thursday, students, staff and teachers at Glassboro Intermediate noticed a bad smell. 'It smelled like rotten eggs,' Ahmad Clanton, an 8th grader, said."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide leaking from the sewers, or leaking from the ocean 13 miles away? And not just the foul odor but also carbon monoxide, so this school was getting hit by at least two poison gases...

http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/database/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=VA-20170406-57750-IDN

Quote: "Indonesian authorities are preparing to evacuate nearly 1,000 people living in dangerous zones as Banda Api volcano in Maluku province of eastern Indonesia has turned more active, officials said Thursday. Mount Banda Api in Maluku Tengah district has several times issued tremors since days ago, forcing the authority to ban any activity in the radius of one kilometer from the crater, Devi Kamil, head of observation unit at the national volcanology agency said. 'We have issued a recommendation for evacuation. There must not be any activity in the area of one kilometer from the crater,' the volcanologist told Xinhua over phone. 'Should the frequency of the tremor keep rising, eruption may happen. But, if it doesn't, poisoned gas will spread from the crater,' Kamil added."

Quote: "More than 400 icebergs have drifted into the North Atlantic shipping lanes over the past week in an unusually large swarm for this early in the season, forcing vessels to slow to a crawl or take detours of hundreds of miles."

Quote: "Those kinds of numbers are usually not seen until late May or early June. The average for this time of year is about 80."

  1. Gettin' worse by the day now. Here in SE PA we're going from barely above freezing last night to possibly 80 by Tuesday, according to the weather people. Nothing unusual about that, right? WRONG! It's indicative of ABRUPT climate change and will have effects on plant and animal life. As summer approaches, who knows where the highs will reach . .

    An unusually strong spring storm will move into California and spread across the rest of the western states through the weekend as the region enters a period of unsettled weather with a couple of strong cyclones. Heavy rains are expected and localized flash flooding is possible, snow at higher elevations will likely impair mountain travel, winds will be strong enough to down trees and power lines, causing power outages. Along the coast, substantial wave action is expected.  [more]

    Giant Frankenstein-like virus discovered in Austrian sewage plant
    https://www.sott.net/article/347556-Giant-Frankenstein-like-virus-discovered-in-Austrian-sewage-plant

    [wtf do those people EAT down there, roadkill?]

    New giant viruses found at an Austrian wastewater treatment plant probably evolved from a smaller virus that picked up bits of genome from its hosts and incorporated it, Frankenstein-like, into its own genetic code.

    The viruses — four species in a new group dubbed the Klosneuviruses — are a type of Mimivirus. The giant viruses in the Mimivirus group were discovered just in 2003. Giant viruses live up to their name: They can reach sizes of up to 500 nanometers in diameter, compared to a few dozen nanometers for typical viruses. Giant viruses also have more complicated genetic machinery than their tinier cousins.

  4. Interesting stuff, those giant viruses. I got sucked into reading about those for an hour or so. One of the more interesting things was the way they discovered them - they thawed out some 30,000-year-old ice cores. Apparently some scientists are concerned that as the world warms, other things, possibly highly pathogenic, may also thaw out. And other scientists say there's no reason to be concerned about that. I think I'd be with the concerned scientists on that, since we have no idea what might be frozen in ice around the planet. I mean, we've already seen animal corpses in the thawing tundra start spewing anthrax. It doesn't seem inconceivable that there are other nasties frozen in the ice too, that may be released as the world's ice continues to disappear. And ancient microbes - we'd have little or no resistance to them.

  6. Uh oh...that Scarborough fire was just down the road from my winter residence. A year or so ago there was a house 4 blocks away that vaporized in a huge explosion...nothing left but tiny bits of wood, brick, and insulation. I don't feel safe here. That sink hole in Port Hope is also a wee bit scary. Port Hope is the home of Cameco. ALOT of radioactive contamination there. Thanks for the updates and comments. I hope you guys are doing alright.
