Event Update For 2017-12-08

http://jumpingjackflashhypothesis.blogspot.com/2012/02/jumping-jack-flash-hypothesis-its-gas.html

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.

2017-12-08 - Foul odor hitting area on coastal St. Simons Island (Georgia):

http://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/georgia/articles/2017-12-08/stinky-mystery-foul-odors-irk-residents-on-georgia-island

Quote: "Residents of St. Simons Island have been complaining of foul odors around a major intersection. Utility officials point the finger at gases building up in the sewer pipes and leaking through a manhole in the road."

Quote: "Commission deputy director Andrew Burroughs says a high concentration of sulfides in the wastewater system is one of several possible causes for the strong odors. He says chemicals could be used to mask the smell or eliminate its source."

Note: That's almost certainly hydrogen sulfide. What else could it be? And masking the odor won't make it less poisonous, so that's no solution. The fact that it doesn't smell 'sweet' is good, since it must be low in concentration. The problem is that it's a heavier-than-air gas so it'll concentrate in ditches and basements or whatnot and then it could form lethal clouds of gas that then blow around and randomly strike people dead here and there. Even at low concentrations, it's not ideal, since nobody anywhere knows what regularly breathing even low concentrations of hydrogen sulfide does to people, but the effects surely aren't benign...
