Event Update For 2017-09-03






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.

Garcia's friends reported him missing, but his body was found soon after in about 5 feet of water, deputies said. Investigators aren't sure if it was a drowning or if Garcia had some sort of medical emergency."

  1. Good morning, Jonny. In the race toward extinction, the big 3 are environmental collapse (habitat loss), climate change effects (floods and droughts), and human caused problems (economic/political). Since human behavior is what got us here, perhaps it will be that which sends us into the abyss.

    North Korea nuclear crisis: Putin warns of planetary catastrophe
    http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/north-korea-nuclear-crisis-putin-warns-of-planetary-catastrophe/ar-AArklOm

    The Russian president Vladimir Putin has warned that the escalating North Korean crisis could cause a “planetary catastrophe” and huge loss of life.

    “Ramping up military hysteria in such conditions is senseless; it’s a dead end,” he told reporters in China, according to the Kremlin-backed broadcaster RT.

    “It could lead to a global, planetary catastrophe and a huge loss of human life. There is no other way to solve the North Korean nuclear issue, save that of peaceful dialogue.” [more]

  3. Irma strengthens to a Cat 5 storm as it nears Caribbean

    States that are falling apart
    http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/states-that-are-falling-apart/ss-AAqj58e

    The U.S. economy is the largest in the world, topping a GDP of $18.6 trillion in 2016. An economic powerhouse as massive and diversified as the United States depends on a network of highways, bridges, airports and dams to thrive. And while the economy has grown every year since the recession officially ended in 2009, our nation’s infrastructure is not fairing as well.

    [well, there's the LIE, right there - we're still in at LEAST a recession]

    An estimated 17% of American dams -- 15,500 in total -- are categorized as high hazard potential, meaning their failure would almost certainly result in loss of life. Meanwhile, 11.2% of roads are in poor condition, which ultimately lead to vehicle damage and traffic delays. Vehicle repairs, fuel and wasted time cost motorists an estimated $272 billion in 2014. Perhaps most troubling is the state of disrepair of bridges across the country as tens of thousands are classified as structurally deficient by the federal government.

    19. Missouri
    > Roads in poor condition: 4.1% (11th lowest)
    > Deficient bridges: 13.1% (11th highest)
    > Dams at high hazard risk: 27.2% (17th highest)
    > Highway spending as pct. of total: 4.5% (12th lowest)

    5. Pennsylvania
    > Roads in poor condition: 14.7% (14th highest)
    > Deficient bridges: 19.8% (3rd highest)
    > Dams at high hazard risk: 53.0% (5th highest)
    > Highway spending as pct. of total: 8.6% (9th highest)

    6. California
    > Roads in poor condition: 29.4% (4th highest)
    > Deficient bridges: 5.5% (11th lowest)
    > Dams at high hazard risk: 52.6% (6th highest)
    > Highway spending as pct. of total: 3.2% (2nd lowest)

    [there's trouble in Paradise]
    1. Hawaii
    > Roads in poor condition: 29.0% (5th highest)
    > Deficient bridges: 5.7% (13th lowest)

    > Highway spending as pct. of total: 4.5% (10th lowest)

    Generation Madoff was so successful, they conned themselves. Trump is the golden calf, proof that hairless monkeys will worship anything except the truth

    Globalization is modern day slavery with the imprimatur of the World Bank and all other major economic institutions. What comes next will unwind the globalized ponzi model, but most importantly, the sociopaths who promoted it. In the end they successfully conned everyone, including themselves. This will prove once and for all that the morons at Ivy Leagues and the morons from Ivy Leagues, are groupthink dunces. Their mega-clown-in-chief merely the insult to injury. A swaggering reminder of the asinine hubris that dropped us off in the middle of nowhere...

    Three things we just learned about climate change and big storms: Can the lessons of Harvey save us? “What Houston shows us, yet again, is that we live in a world of predatory delay”
    http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2017/09/three-things-we-just-learned-about.html

    First, “Did climate change cause Hurricane Harvey?” is the wrong question to ask, embedding a host of mistaken assumptions and leading us nowhere useful. The right question to ask, instead, is something more like “What does Harvey tell us about the kind of future we will be living in?” Asking the right question helps orient us toward moving forward.

    Second, Trump’s climate denial vs. reality of Hurricane Harvey is just the tip of the iceberg. The losses involved are constantly growing beyond our previous calculations, and could easily be enough to destroy America’s capacity for world leadership, much as World War II destroyed Britain’s. In addition, Trump’s climate denial is just one facet of his budget and policy priorities which are clearly disastrous in light of Harvey, and Houston’s role as a fossil fuel industry center represents another dimension of potential catastrophic loss — even if we dodge a bullet this time.
    The third big lesson was laid out in a Twitter thread by planetary futurist Alex Steffen: “What Houston shows us, yet again, is that we live in a world of predatory delay,” he wrote, defining that concept as “the blocking or slowing of needed change, in order to make money off unsustainable, unjust systems in the meantime.” Learning this lesson, he went on to say, “is key to understanding how we must act in order to save ourselves & acting accordingly.” [more]

  6. Hurricane Harvey’s floodwaters mix a foul brew of sewage, chemicals
    http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2017/09/hurricane-harveys-floodwaters-mix-foul.html

    Harvey's filthy floodwaters pose significant dangers to human safety and the environment even after water levels drop far enough that Southeast Texas residents no longer fear for their lives, according to experts.
    Houston already was notorious for sewer overflows following rainstorms. Now the system, with 40 wastewater treatment plants across the far-flung metropolis, faces an unprecedented challenge.
    State officials said several dozen sewer overflows had been reported in areas affected by the hurricane, including Corpus Christi. Private septic systems in rural areas could fail as well.
    Also stirred into the noxious brew are spilled fuel, runoff from waste sites, lawn pesticides and pollutants from the region's many petroleum refineries and chemical plants.
    The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reported Sunday that of the 2,300 water systems contacted by federal and state regulators, 1,514 were fully operational. More than 160 systems issued notices advising people to boil water before drinking it, and 50 were shut down. [more]

  7. Hurricane Irma's damage could be the largest ever in the U.S., Barclays predicts
    http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/hurricane-irmas-damage-could-be-the-largest-ever-in-the-us-barclays-predicts/ar-AArlZAg

    [stupid comment of the day]
    "Given the potential magnitude of this storm as well as the potential to impact a highly populated area, we think Irma's insured damage in Florida could be the largest ever in the U.S. perhaps equivalent to Hurricane Katrina," Barclays' Jay Gelb wrote Tuesday. [Katrina was PEANUTS! Harvey's the new benchmark]

    In a worst case scenario, catastrophe modelers AIR Worldwide and Karen Clark and Co. have estimated a repeat of the 1926 Miami hurricane could result in $125-130 billion of insured damage,” Gelb added.

    Last week, Goldman Sachs projected property damages from Hurricane Harvey, which slammed into Texas last month, to be in the range of around $30 billion which is below Hurricane Katrina’s insured damage of around $50 billion.
    Additionally, JPMorgan released similar predictions for Harvey, pegging damages around $10 billion to $20 billion.
