Event Update For 2018-02-06

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.

With record snowfall and below freezing temps, that blackout in Erie comes at the wrong time!

A couple more fire trucks and two more yachts out of commission due to burning up.

Another firefighter collapses while on call, then dies shortly thereafter.

Lots of accidents with people ending up crashing into buildings.

The list of healthy people of all ages dropping dead continues.

The billboard "explosion" was an electrical arc caused by one of the workers touching power lines beside it with a metal pole he was using to install an ad.

Man, you do NOT want to be trapped in a elevator during a fire!

The good news on the whales swallowing plastic is that they'll become inedible and the Japanese will stop hunting them . . ..

A rare heavy snowfall hit French capital on Tuesday and Wednesday, February 7, 2018, causing record traffic jams, delaying trains and flights and bringing its bus network to a standstill.

A potent winter storm is expected to spread a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain to a large portion of the Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US on Wednesday, February 7, 2018. NWS warns that the ice accretion could be over 0.6 cm (0.25 inches) in some locations. A burst of Arctic air will sweep behind today's storm and result up in a quick freeze-up. In addition, this storm system could bring heavy rain to parts of Kentucky and West Virginia, leading to flash and river flooding. The Weather Channel named this system Winter Storm Liam. [more]

Gas hydrate dissociation off Svalbard induced by isostatic rebound rather than global warming. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-017-02550-9

Nature Communicationsvolume 9, Article number: 83 (2018) doi:10.1038/s41467-017-02550-9 08 January 2018

Abstract
Methane seepage from the upper continental slopes of Western Svalbard has previously been attributed to gas hydrate dissociation induced by anthropogenic warming of ambient bottom waters. Here we show that sediment cores drilled off Prins Karls Foreland contain freshwater from dissociating hydrates. However, our modeling indicates that the observed pore water freshening began around 8 ka BP when the rate of isostatic uplift outpaced eustatic sea-level rise. The resultant local shallowing and lowering of hydrostatic pressure forced gas hydrate dissociation and dissolved chloride depletions consistent with our geochemical analysis. Hence, we propose that hydrate dissociation was triggered by postglacial isostatic rebound rather than anthropogenic warming. [more]

[again, it's more complicated, not just one way - what about the permafrost? Besides, warming caused the isostatic rebound!]
