Event Update For 2018-07-05

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.

2018-07-05 - Heatwave bakes the Arctic:
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2018/07/heatwave-in-arctic.html

Quote: "On July 5, 2018, it was as hot as 33.5°C or 92.3°F on the coast of the Arctic Ocean in Siberia (at top green circle, at 72.50°N). Further inland, it was as hot as 34.2°C or 93.5°F (at bottom green circle, at 68.6°N)."

2018-07-05 - New study based on evidence from past warm periods suggests global warming may be double what is forecast:
http://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2018/07/05/a-new-study-based-on-evidence-from-past-warm-periods-suggests-global-warming-may-be-double-what-is-forecast/

Note: They're still way underestimating what's happening and what's going to happen. What's happening is a repeat of the Permian-Triassic extinction event. However hot it eventually gets, and however high sea level eventually rises, human beings won't be around for it, cuz we'll be extinct waaaay before things reach the apex of horribleness. We're just seeing who scrolls by on the end credits for the Human Race Show and in what order at this point...

Quote: "Evidence gathered in an investigation into the crash of EgyptAir Flight 804 in the Mediterranean Sea in May shows the plane likely broke up in mid-air after a fire near or inside the cockpit that quickly overwhelmed the crew..."

Note: That's what I said in 2016 was the possible cause, mentioned in the 2016-05-18 update. I never bought the bomb theory. Egypt had motivation to say it was something other than a fire, so they were not objective investigators...
