"If we pursue our present fatal path, you will drive the ignorant to support coups d'état at one moment, and swell the forces of street rioters at the next, and we shall be left exposed to the pitiless fury of irresponsible mobs trying to avenge themselves by looting among the ruins." -- Léon Gambetta

Event Update For 2018-07-16
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.

2018-07-16 - Unknown smell evacuates university building in Fayetteville (Arkansas):
http://www.nwahomepage.com/news/u-of-a-building-evacuated-because-of-alarming-odor/1306626195
Quote: "Police originally thought it was a natural gas leak."
Note: So it must have been a rotten egg odor, but it wasn't natural gas, soooo...?
2018-07-16 - As the permafrost continues to thaw, microbes are producing methane, which causes more warming, which thaws more permafrost, etc:
http://www.earth.com/news/thawing-permafrost-global-warming/
http://phys.org/news/2018-07-permafrost-microbiomes-fuel-climate.html
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/07/180716151529.htm
Quote: "Northern permafrost wetlands contribute a significant portion of global methane emissions, particularly as collapsing permafrost can create the perfect anaerobic conditions for methane-producing microorganisms (methanogens), and their metabolic partners, to thrive."
Note: That's a self-reinforcing feedback, resulting in a runaway chain reaction, and it's just one of many. It's far too late to stop any of this. Even if we turned off every power plant and destroyed every vehicle, right now, the end of the world would still occur, or rather continue. Metaphorically speaking, the trigger has been pulled, the bullet has left the barrel and is heading toward our body, and the wound will be fatal. This is an end-of-life hospice planet now...

One of your Notes for today: "That's a self-reinforcing feedback, resulting in a runaway chain reaction, and it's just one of many. It's far too late to stop any of this. Even if we turned off every power plant and destroyed every vehicle, right now, the end of the world would still occur, or rather continue. Metaphorically speaking, the trigger has been pulled, the bullet has left the barrel and is heading toward our body, and the wound will be fatal. This is an end-of-life hospice planet now..."
ReplyDeleteKey words being "it's far too late to stop this". So anytime any of you hear any horse manure about how "we've got to stop this by geoengineering, or cutting back on this and cutting back on that...", just ignore it. Live your life by not only by the day but by the moment. We are all dead men and women walking. Get through the five stages of grief until you get to acceptance. That's all you can do. When you get to acceptance you are much more likely to not go nuts or get massively depressed and stay depressed.
Of course when I say "you" I am using it in the all inclusive way.

Hot weather hindering efforts against blaze near Yosemite
https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/hot-weather-hindering-efforts-against-blaze-near-yosemite/ar-AAAddja
Hot and dry weather on Tuesday hindered efforts to slow the growth of a forest fire near Yosemite National Park that killed a California firefighter last weekend, leading some tourists to cut short their visits although all park trails remained open.
The blaze roaring through dry brush and timber between the town of Mariposa and Yosemite National Park has scorched more than 19 square miles (49 square kilometers) in steep terrain on the park's western edge, the U.S. Forest Service said.
More than 1,400 firefighters were battling the flames threatening more than 100 homes and businesses, the Forest Service said. It's just 5 percent contained. [more]

Sage advice, Mike.
ReplyDeleteMany of us got a clue how this was gonna end when the governments of the world started playing with nuclear power.
Ah just blast an atoll way out in the Pacific, ain't gone hurt nothin'. . . of course we went along with "the war effort" accepting nuclear testing in one of the states (if not several, counting all the lab work and such). Then they decided to build power plants - hell of a way to heat water - disregarding the impossibility of disposing of the waste safely. So of course we had Three Mile Island (about 25 miles from me), Chernobyl and Fukushima (which, so far has negatively effected most of the marine life in the Pacific).
In between those disasters, we've had gigantic oil spills, chemical plant mishaps, who knows how many bio-hazard events, all the while tearing up the rainforests and killing any other species that gets in our way (not to mention despoiling the oceans in too many ways to list here).
Most people, i'm guessing, don't care and prefer to stay distracted with their mundane little lives, never even thinking about the self-imposed prison inside a police state that their lives have become.
But you're so right about acceptance. None of this matters to any more than one's own locale. When disaster finally comes for us, then we "get it."
Yes I wrote that out of frustration with all the talk about "we still have time to lessen the impact", or "if we start soon we can reverse the trajectory we are on", and similar such sentiments. Most of this tripe coming from the so-called learned scientists. But I know a lot of why they say this BS is due to politics and job security. I do wish they would just either state the truth or shut the hell up.

Europe's Blistering Heatwave Is Ruining This Year's Harvest
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2018/07/europes-blistering-heatwave-continues.html
The U.K.’s hottest summer in four decades hurt wheat crops more than normal because a wet and late winter hindered root development, leaving plants more vulnerable to damage from summer dryness. In Poland, more than 66,000 farms spanning 1.2 million hectares (3 million acres) have been hit by drought, the Agriculture Ministry said.
“The crop losses will be quite substantial,” said Wojtek Sabaranski, a Warsaw-based analyst at Sparks Polska. Northwestern parts of the country have been affected most, he said.
East of Poland, the damage to agriculture has prompted Lithuania and Latvia to declare a national natural disaster or state of emergency.
It’s wheat output in France, the EU’s top grower, that’s come as the biggest surprise. While warm and wet weather initially sparked calls for the best harvest in years, that soon changed. Too much rain and not enough sun resulted in wheat with fewer grains, and will mean lower yields, according to Strategie Grains.
Back in Germany, Gaebert still doesn’t know how he’ll feed his cattle and his fields have become so dusty that it’ll be a challenge to sow seeds for next year’s harvest. [more]
