Event Update For 2018-01-22





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.

Quote: "Shallow lakes in agricultural landscapes will emit significantly greater amounts of methane, mostly in the form of bubbles (ebullition) in a warmer world, which is a potential positive feedback mechanism to climate warming..."

Note: Yep, that's another feedback. The warmer it gets, the more this happens. The more this happens, the warmer it gets...

http://www.businessinsider.com/russia-kilo-class-submarine-burning-vladivostok-2018-1

Quote: "Navy Brass said, that it wasn’t fire or accident of any kind, those were firefighting drills. Well, it looks anything but fire drills, but that’s the way of Navy, at least Russian Navy – they confess accident only when cornered. Class of submarine on fire and neighbouring submarines not clear – looks like Kilo, but one docked to the right looks like she’s nuclear."

Quote: "It's very hard to imagine that such a training event would include lighting one of your own submarines on fire, or at least igniting a fire right next to a cluster of submarines sitting vulnerable tied up to a pier."

Note: Hah, yes, very hard to imagine anyone doing that for a training exercise unless they're insane...

Note: Hmmm, this isn't looking good. The wildfires started rolling last year in March, with the biggest wildfire in Kansas history, mentioned in the 2017-03-08 update. And the biggest wildfire in Kansas history before the 2017 fire started in March of 2016, just one year before, mentioned in the 2016-03-25 update. Looks like things are getting started even earlier than that this year, although nothing record-setting, yet...

On Thursday, a 50-year-old man from Oakland, California, died after he was found unresponsive in knee-deep waters at the same beach."

http://www.sunherald.com/news/local/counties/harrison-county/article195960064.html
http://wxxv25.com/2018/01/22/woman-found-dead-cypress-drive/

Quote: "Police say Erin Hamilton, 32, of Biloxi, was lying on the road when a vehicle struck her early Sunday morning in the 600 block of Cypress Drive in the Forest Cove subdivision. An autopsy is pending to determine the cause of death and whether she was dead when the vehicle struck her."

Note: She might have dropped dead right there, or she might have collapsed unconscious and then the car finished her off. When you collapse unconscious, where you are and what you're doing can determine whether you ever get up again. For example, just imagine if you go skydiving, fall through a cloud of gas then lose consciousness before you open your chute...

Note: I used eight quotes from her over the years. The last was to wrap up 2017, on December 31st, 2017, which now seems a little more poignant: 'It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.' R-E-S-P-E-C-T, Ursula!

  1. G'day all. Lotsa barns going up in flames lately (I was thinking about counting them this year, but on second thought, nah).

    I read some of Le Guin's sci fi (The Left Hand of Darkness) - excellent writer. RIP Ursula.

    Is it me, or are more people dying from JJFH incidents in Britain than practically anywhere else? Geez.

    Today we'll begin from the JJFH Kitchen with this:

    Images on Social Media showed streets of Nacala city in Nampula swamped in mud and flood water over 1.5 metres deep.

    Power cables and poles have also been damaged, leaving some areas without electricity. Roads have been flooded and some areas left isolated. WFP said they have assisted 13,892 families with food.

    Marc Nosbach, Country Director of CARE International in Mozambique, said that more than 5,000 homes have been destroyed in the province. Local media are reporting figures between 7,000 and 15,000. [more]

    Huge increase in snowfall over Antarctica say NASA, growing since 1900
    https://www.sott.net/article/375109-Huge-increase-in-snowfall-over-Antarctica-say-NASA-growing-since-1900

    Based on a more than 500-foot-long ice core extracted from the thick sheet and containing a snowfall record dating back 2,000 years, the researchers found snow accumulation levels had been rising since around 1900. And the increase is most marked in recent decades, up through the year 2010. It's a finding that aligns with the notion that climate change, by increasing the atmosphere's retention of water vapor, is increasing precipitation. [more; so it's NOT mini-Ice Age, SOTT!]

Either being from underground tunnels, earthquakes, army trainings or exploding meteors, the thing is that mystery booms will almost always remain unexplained. [more]

  5. Britain's been getting pretty corpsey for a while now! Thus the 'spike in dying' a year or two ago which resulted in big profits for the funeral industry there. More people dying, more profits, more jobs, more 'growth', yay! Er, waitasec.

  6. Regarding the January wildfires in North Texas I am reminded of a devastating one that burned the small town of Ringgold to the ground in 15 minutes on January 1, 2006. If anyone has the time this is a very good article on what happened...

    https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/gone-in-15-minutes/

    Another good article is on the Texas panhandle fire that struck last March. I found myself getting a bit choked on this one. Very nice young people died in this fire....

    https://features.texasmonthly.com/editorial/the-day-the-fire-came/

    What most still don't know yet is that the death and devastation is just beginning with these and even worse events.

  7. Wow Mike, they were some powerful accounts there. I see what you mean about gettin' choked up over it. Unhesitating heroic behavior, kind-hearted, honest and brave people along with wonderful animals dying by fire - heart wrenching to read, impossible to fathom how bad it actually was. Thanks for the links. It's not like people 'get over' losing everything - it changes them to their DNA.

    This is why "where we're headed" isn't easy on people's psyche. It's one thing to contemplate ones eventual demise, but it's always been on the premise that "life goes on." Well, probably not this time. It'll happen quickly once the collapse of civilization occurs, which in turn depends on the financial and environmental systems remaining intact - and THAT, i'm afraid, is on "shaky ground," literally.

    For example, it's only sheer luck that the entire west coast of the U.S. wasn't impacted by a tsunami yesterday. It happened so early in the morning, that when I got up at my usual 5 and eventually sat down to the box, it was already too late to call out there (which would have been 4 a.m. their time) to the coast, where he lives about 3 blocks up a long hill from the Pacific - walking distance to his home. I didn't know what to do - I didn't even tell my wife, who was getting ready for work. I walked around in a daze, after posting here.

    When I checked again at 8 (East coast time) the tsunami warning had been cancelled. WHAT A RELIEF! That's when I texted my son (he works in the O/R so he's usually at work by 4 a.m.). He happened to be home because the hospital is filled with flu patients, so they can't do hearts (his specialty). When I mentioned the tsunami warning he responded "For HERE? Yikes!" - he didn't even KNOW about it! See what I mean by too late?

    This is how it's going to go down. Most of us are completely unaware of what's on the horizon - like 'em wildfires - and before you know it, it's over. The economy stops working, money instantly becomes worthless, FOOD and WATER are the most valuable possessions one has, and they're only short-lived and becoming irreplaceable.

    Yeah, crime skyrockets as people realize times have just become DESPERATE and will do anything to stay alive a little longer (due to our hardwiring), yet it's POINTLESS, like a "bomb shelter" is pointless, because it's ALL going away. Especially once the nuke plants melt down (nobody will show up for work once the collapse happens - including doctors, police, firemen, and all others). We'll all be protecting ourselves full-time from the chaos, until we can't, being overwhelmed - like in the wildfire stories above, or the tsunami scenario we've witnessed in other places.

    Hang on.

    1. Yes your comments ring true. I'm glad you had time to read those articles. We do not know when a catastrophic event is going to take us out individually. Of course as the months and years go by these events will become more common. What an absolute trip to be alive during this phase, the end phase, of homo sapien history.

  8. Gee, that lightning down there in Adelaide was something else wasn't it ?! Never seen anything, in real life or on film, even remotely that outrageous. Makes me think of something Yoichi Shimatsu was saying around mid last year about his trip down to New Zealand. He said that radiation readings down on the south-eastern coast were remarkably high and, strangely, higher than the west coast. If you look at the map and those places relative to the various winds and currents that drag stuff down from around Fukushima you get what he is saying. However, he alosaid that Japanese fishing vessels were being used to dump highly radioactive waste down around Antartica so, given that, it wasn't necessarily a surprise but shocking nonetheless. Adelaide faces Antartica.Drawing a long bow there maybe. Doesn't matter really but that lightning was not a good sign - way over the top.
    With the talk about the melting ice in the Arctic I was thinking about one of the more interesting things Paul Beckwith has said in recent months which was that the satellites ( Cryosats ? )which measure the thickness of the ice up there are not accurate and he explained why. I think it was the guys who operate those things admitted as much in a journal article somewhere. So, obviously, the estimations of the volume, as opposed to the extent of the ice, left up there are more like guesstimations which I am sure they would manipulate to there own purposes.
