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.

For Hadcrut it's now 1.4°/Cen (other surface indices are higher).
So my conclusion is that, just as contrarians protest (with some justice) that not too much should be made of the current strong warming trends, because they are influenced by a single event, so too should the much weaker hiatus be observed with modest interest, because it is the result of the concurrence of two weaker events, La Nina's, which get less noticed because they are less prominent, but are equally rather chance occurrences.

One of the beers on tap tonight was Dogfishhead's Beer to Drink Music To.
ReplyDeleteI'm stickin' to Tequila Sunrises.
Great local band - 6 guys that can play anything from Alman Bros. to David Bowie to Clapton to Talking Heads. Extremely accomplished musicians calling themselves Swamp Ash.
The place is jumpin' for their second set. Lotta people dancin'.
Feliz Cinco Dr Mayo, Jonny! Ah - HA!
