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.

Climate Change Ignores all Borders as Rain Bombs Fall on Kauai and the Middle East Alike
ReplyDeletehttps://robertscribbler.com/2018/05/02/climate-change-ignores-all-borders-as-rain-bombs-fall-on-kauai-and-the-middle-east-alike/
The weaponization of weather language has long been a topic of some controversy in the meteorological press. Peace-loving people the world over rightly try to communicate in a manner that discourages violent conflict. And the term ‘rain bomb’ has taken quite a lot of flak from those with thus-stated good intentions.
However, whether or not the language itself bristles with perceived warlike phrases, the weather itself is steadily being weaponized against everyone and everything living on the face of planet Earth by the greenhouse gasses fossil fuel related industries and technologies continue pumping into the air.

The first line of storms is on the way. Should be here b4 noon. I'll let you all know if I die. Bwahahaha!
ReplyDeleteMike: my mother used to say, upon hearing that someone got hit by a train "That'll teach 'em a lesson!" So I know where you're coming from.
ReplyDeleteI got hit by that same storm last night and this morning - that thing stretches diagonally from Texas to way northeast of me. Looks like more of it's coming my way again too. There was tons of lightning this morning when I took out the trash. I moved my ass along at a rapid pace - didn't wanna become a Missouri lightning statistic!
ReplyDeleteWe in south central Texas didn't get any storms today at all. Tomorrow is supposed to be a 90% chance. I think we'll miss out on the major storms again tjoigh.
