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.

US Congressman Dennis Kucinich: "The US is under attack from within"
https://www.sott.net/article/351654-US-Congressman-Dennis-Kucinich-The-US-is-under-attack-from-within
Personally, I'm horrified by the fact that Goldman Sachs goons are in total control of the Trump administration's economic policy. I'm also horrified that our new President's first overseas trip will be to the terrorist state of Saudi Arabia, a autocratic, brutal monarchy with undeniable ties to 9/11. I'm likewise disgusted by Attorney General Jefferson Sessions' oppressive and uncivilized relaunch of the misguided and disastrous "war on drugs." Finally, I'm very troubled by the fact Mike Flynn attempted to disrupt a military operation using Syrian Kurds to rout ISIS in Raqqa because Turkey didn't like it, given he was working as a paid agent of Turkey months earlier and never disclosed it.
There are a plethora of things to be deeply concerned about when it comes to Trump, yet the coup attempt against him being launched by elements of the deep state, corporate media and Hillary dead-ender Democrats is more concerning still. It's obvious what's happening right now is not a sincere attempt to hold a President accountable, or fight him on policy or personnel choices. Rather, this all seems to be a very deliberate and premeditated attempt to remove him from office. [more]

The Tens Of Millions Of Forgotten Americans That The U.S. Economy Has Left Behind
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-tens-of-millions-of-forgotten-americans-that-the-u-s-economy-has-left-behind
The evidence that the middle class in America is dying continues to mount. As you will see below, nearly half the country would be unable “to cover an unexpected $400 expense”, and about two-thirds of the population lives paycheck to paycheck at least part of the time. Of course the economy has not been doing that well overall in recent years. Barack Obama was the only president in all of U.S. history not to have a single year when the economy grew by at least 3 percent, and U.S. GDP growth during the first quarter of 2017 was an anemic 0.7 percent. During the Obama era, it is true that wealthy enclaves in New York, northern California and Washington D.C. did thrive, but meanwhile most of the rest of the country has been left behind. [more]

Arctic Warming - Update May 2017
ReplyDeletehttp://arctic-news.blogspot.com/2017/05/arctic-warming-update-may-2017.html
[according to the Scripps Institute, we hit 410.58 on 5/14/17 and Guy McPherson mentions we're now at 412 ppm in his talk above]
The density of stations is obvious, as is the inconsistent but strong cooling trend. The issue is TOBS. A lot of stations changed with the conversion to MMTS, and the canges were generally in a direction that created artificial cooling. With adjustment, which includes TOBS correction, the picture is much clearer. Still some cooling in the mid-west, but otherwise warming, as in the rest of N America. [more]
