http://www.esf.edu/communications/view.asp?newsID=7121
http://science.sciencemag.org/content/359/6371/eaam7240

Quote: "In the past 50 years, the amount of water in the open ocean with zero oxygen has gone up more than fourfold. In coastal water bodies, including estuaries and seas, low-oxygen sites have increased more than 10-fold since 1950. Scientists expect oxygen to continue dropping even outside these zones as Earth warms."

Quote: "Low oxygen also can trigger the release of dangerous chemicals such as nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas up to 300 times more powerful than carbon dioxide, and toxic hydrogen sulfide."

Note: That's what I said six years ago. And since then the number of rotten-egg-smelling unknown 'gas odor' events has been climbing, especially in coastal areas, but elsewhere too. The oceans and all the traditional sources of hydrogen sulfide have begun spewing more and more hydrogen sulfide into the atmosphere. That's what has wiped out life on this planet before and it's going to do the same thing this time...

2018-01-04 - Hydrogen sulfide blowing around in coastal Goleta (California), meeting scheduled for Jan 10:

http://www.independent.com/pr/2018/jan/03/city-goleta-hosts-community-meeting-noxious-odors/

Quote: "A bad smell in West Goleta is the subject of an upcoming meeting. Hydrogen sulfide is creating a rotten egg odor in the Ellwood Canyon Area, where there are natural seeps as well as oil and agriculture work. Goleta city leaders want to tell locals what steps they can take if they smell a noxious odor. The meeting is Wednesday, January 10 at 6 p.m. at Ellwood School."

2018-01-04 - Unknown 'gas odor' hits area in Allentown (Pennsylvania):
http://www.mcall.com/news/police/mc-pol-allentown-gas-odor-lehigh-st-closed-20180104-story.html

Quote: "Two blocks of Lehigh Street in Allentown’s south side were blocked off from traffic Thursday night after a passer-by reported smelling natural gas in the neighborhood. City fire officials found nothing unusual. UGI, the gas company, sent a crew that took several hours more to make a complete check of the area. The gas odor was reported shortly after 6 p.m. on Lehigh Street between Sixth and Eighth streets. Firefighters took readings at houses on the street, but nothing dangerous was found. 'They checked all the homes in those two blocks,' fire Capt. John Christopher said. 'They checked 30 homes and they found no gas inside the structures.'"

Note: They aren't going to detect hydrogen sulfide with natural gas detectors. Ya gotsta use the right tool for the job!

http://www.riverbender.com/articles/details/gas-smell-prompts-false-alarm-at-area-theater-25930.cfm

Quote: "Morgan praised theater staff for taking proper precautions. He said there was no gas issue discovered by fire department personnel."

Note: Only a false alarm in the sense that no natural gas was detected. That means someone smelled something that smells LIKE the odorant added to natural gas, e.g. a rotten egg odor. So probably just a little poison gas blowing through town and getting sucked in through the HVAC system, which can't be detected with natural gas detectors. Edwardsville is about 9 miles east (downwind) of the Mississippi River as the gas blows...

2018-01-09 - Australian birds have apparently weaponized fire as a hunting tool:
http://www.livescience.com/61375-fire-spreading-raptors.html
http://nationalpost.com/news/world/australian-birds-have-weaponized-fire
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2018/01/wildfires-birds-animals-australia/

Quote: "The concept of fire-foraging birds is well established. Raptors on at least four continents have been observed for decades on the edge of big flames, waiting out scurrying rodents and reptiles or picking through their barbecued remains. What’s new, at least in the academic literature, is the idea that birds might be intentionally spreading fires themselves. If true, the finding suggests that birds, like humans, have learned to use fire as a tool and as a weapon."

http://www.telemundoamarillo.com/story/37233336/school-buses-delayed-due-to-suspicious-smell-at-john-overton-high-school

Quote: "Fire department officials said the smell was coming from the sewage line and was not dangerous. Everyone was cleared to come back inside. A school administrator told News 4 that someone smelled something and thought it was possibly a gas leak, so they called the fire department to investigate."

Quote: "A phone message sent to Overton parents said staff arriving to the school noticed a strong 'sulfur' smell and maintenance crews were called."

Quote: "The Nashville Fire Department said the smell is isolated to the school’s auditorium and is hydrogen sulfide from a backed up sewer. The Fire Chief described the smell as 'sewer gas' and said it is not hazardous."

Note: 'Not hazardous'?! Hydrogen sulfide is as deadly as hydrogen cyanide, which is what they use to execute people in gas chambers, and the British used it to kill German soldiers during trench warfare in WWI. Moreover, nobody anywhere knows what the long-term effects are of breathing it, regardless of concentration, but whatever the effects are, they're surely not good. In any case, this is yet another example of people thinking there's a natural gas leak when in fact what they are smelling is hydrogen sulfide, not the odorant added to natural gas...

http://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/10/science/female-sea-turtles-global-warming.html

Quote: "Since the sex of a sea turtle is determined by the heat of sand incubating their eggs, scientists had suspected they might see slightly more females. Climate change, after all, has driven air and sea temperatures higher, which, in these creatures, favors female offspring. But instead, they found female sea turtles from the Pacific Ocean's largest and most important green sea turtle rookery now outnumber males by at least 116 to 1. 'This is extreme—like capital letters extreme, exclamation point extreme,' says turtle scientist Camryn Allen, with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Hawaii. 'We're talking a handful of males to hundreds and hundreds of females. We were shocked.'"

On the northern Great Barrier Reef, 99% of baby green sea turtles, a species whose sex is determined by temperature, were found to be female. In outer suburban Sydney, the heat hit 47.3C (117F) before a cool change knocked it down - to the relative cool of just 43.6C in a neighbouring suburb the following day. Scenes from a sci-fi novel depicting a scorched future? No, just the first days of 2018 in Australia, where summer is in fierce form."

Quote: "New research has confirmed one of the worst nightmares of climate science: the instability of the East Antarctic ice sheet. This vast mass holds enough water to raise sea levels by 53 metres worldwide. And researchers have confirmed that one stretch of the southern polar coastline has melted many times in the past: by enough to raise sea levels by three to five metres. A rise of just one metre would render at least 100 million coast dwellers homeless."

Quote: "Over the past three years, a lot has changed for the city of Cape Town. Seated in a geologic bowl beneath Table Mountain and historically fed by heavy winter precipitation, the South African metropolis has been known as a haven of abundant natural water. This year, however, Cape Town may be the first major city in the world to run out of water. A three-year drought in the region around Cape Town has caused levels in its water-supplying dams to drop dangerously low. Experts have predicted that the city will reach 'day zero,' a point at which the dams drop below 13.5 percent of their combined capacity, on April 21."

2018-01-20 - 2017 was the warmest year on record for the oceans:
http://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2018/01/19/2017-was-the-warmest-year-on-record-for-oceans/

Note: The more the oceans heat up, the less oxygen they hold, the more the methane clathrates melt and the more hydrogen sulfide the oceans produce. Eventually the oceanic heating will cause enough methane and hydrogen sulfide to emanate from the oceans to kill every human being on the surface of this planet. That process, obviously, is already underway. We're just seeing who dies in what order at this point...

This indicates a 'vulcanian eruption' is ongoing."

Their symptoms went away once they left the building, city officials said. Some patients were taken to other hospitals, the office said. No injuries have been reported. The evacuations are out of precaution, Atmos said. Kyle Rouvaldt with the City of Forney said the cause of the odor may be from a sewer line, not a natural gas leak, as there are no pipes of that nature going to the facility."

Quote: "Reports of headaches and nausea that prompted an evacuation of a North Texas hospital Tuesday morning were caused by sewer gas, fire officials say."

Note: There are two 'sewer gases', methane and hydrogen sulfide. Methane is odorless and people smelled something here so that means it was hydrogen sulfide...

Quote: "Imagine if every living species in all of North America – including humans – were suffocating and unable to breathe because oxygen levels had suddenly and precipitously dropped. Every leader, from mayors to governors, would panic. And then they'd do something, anything, to deal with the clear and present danger. That precise scenario is now playing out in the world's oceans, according to a massive, unprecedented research effort published Jan. 5 – the first truly global snapshot of depleted oxygen zones in oceans. And yet, virtually no one at any level of government seems remotely concerned."

2018-01-28 - Smoke from unknown source hits fraternity in coastal Berkeley (California), student has seizure:
http://www.berkeleyside.com/2018/01/28/smoke-no-fire-found-uc-berkeley-fraternity-featured-graduate/

Quote: "Firefighters responded to a UC Berkeley fraternity Sunday and found smoke but no fire. While there, however, a brother in the fraternity had an unrelated medical problem and needed to be taken by ambulance to the hospital, the Fire Department reports."

Quote: "Firefighters found smoke inside a laundry room on the property, but were ultimately unable to find any fire, said Battalion Chief Bill Kehoe of the Berkeley Fire Department. He said sometimes lint or dust in a laundry room can ignite, but then burns up leaving no evidence. Although no fire suppression was needed, the response proved timely. While firefighters were still on scene, one of the fraternity brothers passed out due to a medical issue, Kehoe said. A brother who is an EMT told BFD he believed the young man also had a seizure. As the patient was being walked to the ambulance, he passed out again."

Note: Filters and lint will also adsorb hydrogen sulfide from the atmosphere, and atmospheric gases will leave no trace when they burn too, unless they happen to ignite some matter. That's also much more likely than uncontaminated lint to cause people nearby to lose consciousness, have seizures or drop dead, and that's most likely to happen in coastal areas too, like, say, Berkeley...

http://www.dcourier.com/news/2018/jan/30/prescott-valley-medical-office-evacuated-due-suspi/

Quote: "Employees and customers of the Arizona Oncology Associates office complex, 3188 N. Windsong Drive in Prescott Valley, were evacuated from the facility late Monday morning, Jan. 29, due to a suspicious-odor call. The Central Arizona Fire and Medical Authority and Prescott Valley Police Department (PVPD) responded to around 11 a.m. Upon their arrival, one person reported a sore throat and needed medical attention, according to a PVPD news release. Once the building was evacuated, a hazardous material team examined the building. However, the cause of the odor could not be determined, and people were allowed to return to the facility at 1:20 p.m."

http://www.mynbc5.com/article/gas-leak-causes-evacuation-of-alburgh-school/15872540

Quote: "An evacuation and a mystery in Alburgh Monday. Firefighters tell us villagers started smelling propane around 7:30 a.m. The pre-K through eighth-grade school was evacuated as a precaution. First responders tested for elevated gas levels all over the village. They even went door to door within a 1-mile radius. They found nothing. They still don't know where the smell came from but firefighters tell us it could have come from a passing truck or rail car."

Note: So there was no gas leak and they detected no propane or natural gas inside or outside the school. Propane is odorless so they add methyl mercaptan to it, which smells like rotten eggs. So nobody smelled propane; they smelled a rotten egg odor. Propane or natural gas detectors won't detect hydrogen sulfide. This school is in an area virtually surrounded by bodies of water. Here's a Google Maps link of the area...

'There is a possibility of a small-scale eruption,' the agency warned in a statement after detecting a number of small earth movements and a slight bulging of the ground in one region."
