Event Update For 2018-03-13

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.

2018-03-13 - 'Odor committee' on hold in coastal Huntington Beach (California):
http://huntingtonbeachca.gov/announcements/announcement.cfm?id=1200

Quote: "The Coastal Area Odors Ad Hoc Committee will be on hold while the Mayor and Council Members hold meetings with federal officials and local members of Congress. Rest assured, progress is being made to identify the source and the South Coast Air Quality Management District is in the midst of an active investigation. Upon completion of the investigation and meetings the Ad Hoc Committee will resume meetings."

Note: Huntington Beach formed this committee to investigate why their city is being hit by hydrogen sulfide, mentioned in the 2017-10-02 update. Now the investigative committee is on hold while they hold some meetings with feds and Congressional members, after which the committee will resume their meetings. Yeah, well, holding meetings isn't going to solve the problem. In fact, nothing is going to solve the problem, but I guess having some meetings before they get back to having other meetings gives them something to do. Maybe they should have a meeting to discuss whether they should schedule a meeting to determine whether meetings actually do anything!

Warm waters in the Arctic

Waters west of Svalbard are nearly 12* C. (53.6 F)
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2018/03/warm-waters-in-arctic.html

“About 94% of the global warming heating is going into the ocean and it is the Gulf Stream - Svalbard current that will be our killers because they are melting the Arctic ice from below and destabilizing the methane hydrates between the ocean surface and 200 meters depth along the Arctic ocean shelf edge. The core of the Svalbard current has increased in temperature from less than 1.5 to more than 4 degrees centigrade."

'Widespread contamination': Top bottled water brands contaminated with tiny plastic particles
https://www.sott.net/article/380064-Widespread-contamination-Top-bottled-water-brands-contaminated-with-tiny-plastic-particles

The world's leading brands of bottled water are contaminated with tiny plastic particles that are likely seeping in during the packaging process, according to a major study across nine countries published Wednesday.

"Widespread contamination" with plastic was found in the study, led by microplastic researcher Sherri Mason of the State University of New York at Fredonia, according to a summary released by Orb Media, a US-based non-profit media collective.

Researchers tested 250 bottles of water in Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Lebanon, Mexico, Thailand, and the United States.

Plastic was identified in 93 percent of the samples, which included major name brands such as Aqua, Aquafina, Dasani, Evian, Nestle Pure Life and San Pellegrino.

The plastic debris included polypropylene, nylon, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is used to make bottle caps. [more]

Hunger guides mountain lions' actions to enter residential districts
https://www.sott.net/article/380088-Hunger-guides-mountain-lions-actions-to-enter-residential-districts

In late February, CBS News Denver reported that mountain lion sightings were on the rise in Colorado's high country. Lion attacks on people in the state and around the world are rare, but the story referenced an attack on a 5-year-old boy in 2016 by a mountain lion near Aspen.

Wildlife biologists around the world studying these big cats have had difficulty explaining why these attacks occur, even after tracking the predators with GPS collars. A study from Colorado State University and Colorado Parks and Wildlife provides new insight. Researchers found that while the animals are generally fearful of and avoid humans, hunger can dampen that fear. [more]

They decided to wait for the animal to leave, but when they thought it was safe to leave they chanced upon the predator, which mauled one of them to death.

Nor was this the first deadly attack by a tiger in the area. In January a female worker was mauled to death by a Sumatran tiger at a palm oil plantation some 20km away.

A week ago another attack by a Sumatran tiger ended in tragedy when a local was mauled to death in the village of Mandailing Natal in North Sumatra. [more]

Blue penguins washing up sick and injured on beaches in Auckland and Northland, New Zealand
https://www.sott.net/article/380084-Blue-penguins-washing-up-sick-and-injured-on-beaches-in-Auckland-and-Northland-New-Zealand

This year's unusually hot and stormy summer has taken a toll on Auckland and Northland's seabirds with thousands of dead and ill birds found on the regions' beaches.

Little blue penguins have been particularly hard hit, with hundreds of them washing up dead or exhausted.

Seabird experts said a combination of bad weather, a lack of food, heat and a change in the prevailing maritime wind directions had coincided with when the little blues like to come ashore to moult - putting them under great stress.

"There has been a huge amount; it seems like every few days there is more dead little blue penguins on the beaches." [more]
