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.

A PSA on the city’s Facebook page says 'we are aware of a smell that some describe as natural gas, manure or rotten eggs,' adds that, while Fortis BC is investigating, it can be confirmed that the odour is not coming from either a city or Metro Vancouver facility, or the Cherry Point Refinery in the U.S."

We're gettin' snow here, Jonny. 2 - 5" is expected - the light, perfect for skiing type. It's a bit windy too. i'll report the outcome later today. Temps are in the 20's today (downright BALMY compared to some others, and what's predicted for the coming week).
ReplyDeleteLemme start with the stat report from December on Hull and garbage truck fires. It was a really slow month for garbage truck fires with only 3, however one of them happened on the same day as a Hull incident, early in the month. Hull was about average with 20 JJFH incidents in 14 days, including a string of 5 days in a row, one of 3 days in a row, and one of 2 days in a row.
i'll have totals for the year later today.
This year begins with a garbage truck fire!

The winter storm Eleanor tore through Europe on Wednesday with winds of up to 100 miles per hour, bringing lightning and heavy rain, battering houses with hail, flooding streets and uprooting trees. The storm — named Burglind in Austria, Germany and Switzerland — arrived in tandem with a cold front, hitting Ireland before passing through Britain and on to Continent. Travelers were delayed, and adverse weather was expected to be felt as far north as the Baltics and as far south as Italy. Weather warnings were the order of the day, with forecasts of violent winds, mostly in coastal areas. Workers raced to restore power to thousands of homes, and to clear highways and train tracks of trees and overturned vehicles. [more]

ReplyDeleteStudy confirms the next generation of RNA interference GM foods may seriously compromise the genetic integrity of our species
https://www.sott.net/article/372995-Study-confirms-the-next-generation-of-RNA-interference-GM-foods-may-seriously-compromise-the-genetic-integrity-of-our-species
A new study titled, "Detection of dietetically absorbed maize-derived microRNAs in pigs," adds fuel to the fire of the growing controversy surrounding the EPA's recent and conspiculously underreported approval of Monsanto/Dow's RNA interference (RNAi) corn - a new type of genetically modified organism comprised of a multitude of genetically engineered traits (and therefore health risks) destined to make it to people's dinner tables by the end of this decade.
The Biotech/Chemical industry's new RNAi corn was quietly rubber stamped by the EPA on June 15th of this year under the premature, and likely patently false assumption that the RNA interference molecules in the maize can not directly affect the gene expression of those animals or humans who eat it.

Here's the stats on garbage trucks for 2017
ReplyDeletetotal days having garbage truck fires: 96
total trucks damaged/destroyed by said fires: 123
Hull JJFH incidents for 2017
total days when incidents were reported: 167
total JJFH incidents reported: 234
[interesting pattern there: 123 and 234, but that's me]
A little deeper look:
The month with the most garbage truck fires was August of 2017 when at least 17 trucks burned up. The month with the most trucks burned in the least number of days was February with 9 trucks being burned in 4 days, but the second place month was July with 15 trucks burning in 7 days.
For Hull, the most incidents occurred in March of 2017 with 34, but we had 5 other months with 20 or more incidents (September had 26, April & November saw 24, and October and December had 20).
No month had less than 10, and the month with the largest number of incidents in the shortest span of days was March (34 in 20 days). Hull's the capital of JJFH incidents this past year, by far. Grimsby and Scunthorpe were far behind.
I've yet to compare them with 2016 (which i'll do next post).
Next i'll post the stats that Jonny counts: boats, tractor trailers, residential explosions, buses and RV's.

Editorial: Shrugging off Deepwater Horizon disaster, administration relaxes oil industry rules
http://www.stltoday.com/opinion/editorial/editorial-shrugging-off-deepwater-horizon-disaster-administration-relaxes-oil-industry/article_f20a01db-f8ce-5a6f-880b-5b4609b244de.html
[caption under lede pic]
A member of Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal's staff wearing a glove reaches into thick oil on the surface of the northern regions of Barataria Bay in Plaquemines Parish, La., in June 2010. The well drilled by the Deepwater Horizon oil rig spewed oil for 87 days before it was capped.
The 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster was responsible for the deaths of 11 workers and the explosive release of an estimated 200 million gallons of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico. A cascade of safety failures caused it — failures that the Obama administration corrected with enhanced inspection requirements to help ensure such a disaster never happens again.
The Trump administration on Friday decided that safety and environmental protection are overrated. The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement prepared new regulations rolling back the previous administration’s rules, deeming them overly burdensome. It is a shockingly short-sighted decision, but not even slightly surprising given this administration’s reckless trajectory. [more]
Okay, let's take a look at Jonny's counts and see how they compare to 2016.
ReplyDeleteBoats: 2017 1102 , 2016 1527 so a drop of about 28% this year!
Buses: 2017 874 , 2016 952 and a drop of about 8% this year.
RV's: 2017 646 , 2016 556 so an INCREASE of about 16% this yr!
Residential explosions: 2017 366 , 2016 414 or about 11.5% drop
Tractors/tankers/semis: 2017 2271 , 2016 2350 or about 3% drop
Apparently I didn't record garbage truck fires or Hull incidents in 2016 (or I didn't note them anywhere that I can easily find - or remember).
Yeah, that's some interesting stuff. Looks like we had a 'good' year, except for RVs, and a lot of people died in those RV fires last year too. But on the other hand, we had some awful non-vehicular stuff going on - deadliest wildfires ever in California, deadliest wildfire ever in Portugal, biggest wildfires ever in Kansas, BC Canada and California, the deadliest residential fire in British history with the Grenfell Towers high-rise fire, and probably more that I can't remember off-hand.
ReplyDeleteMakes me wonder if the vehicular fires weren't worse in areas other than in the English-speaking countries, and I just couldn't pick up on that due to my own linguistic lack. Nothing says the curve will be upward in every area every year, like the globe's warming - it'll be worse in some places some years and in other places other years, but with the global trend upward.
Also, I guess there could be some 'semantic noise' in the stats too. How many 'lorries' were actually tractor trailers? No way to know. How many 'cylinder explosions' (which I generally didn't count unless I was very suspicious) were actually something else? Stuff like that.
So ya got me! But it's a new year, so let's see what happens this year. Can't say I've got a good feeling about things.
Ah - it is what it is (I hate that saying). Like Arctic ice extent, CO2 and CH4 measurements, everything fluctuates in reality. We're actually doing all this to pass the time and commiserate, since everyone here knows where it's all going to end. It's more telling looking at the forest fires (extent and destructive costs), numbers of homeless people, animal, pollinator, avian and marine die-offs and global average temperature. They tell the real story, and it ain't pretty.

"This move represents a broken campaign promise by the president,” said Tom Angell of the pro-legalization group Marijuana Majority. “He clearly and repeatedly pledged that he would respect state marijuana laws if elected. With polls showing that marijuana legalization is way more popular than the president is, this will likely turn out to be a huge political disaster for the administration. Either way, it's not going to stop even more states from modernizing their cannabis laws." [more]

Here is a follow up from an Austin news station on the plane that "disappeared" from radar on its way from OKC to Georgetown, TX. http://kxan.com/2018/01/03/plane-bound-for-georgetown-last-seen-on-radar-over-gulf-of-mexico/
ReplyDeleteThey still haven't found it, but from reading the story I get a strong suspicion that this is a hydrogen sulfide impact on the pilot.
Here is yet another north Austin apartment complex fire which is actually happening right now as I type... http://kxan.com/2018/01/04/live-flames-ripping-through-roof-of-north-austin-apartment-complex/
ReplyDeleteThere was another similar event over the Gulf of Mexico too, can't recall what year it was, but before 2017. A pilot lost consciousness (or died) and they could see him in the plane, but he was unresponsive. His plane just flew in circles over the Gulf of Mexico until it ran out of gas then it crashed into the Gulf. This current plane doesn't sound like it's going in circles, but otherwise, looks like the same scenario.
