The clouds give off a shocking blue haze when ice crystals fixed to tiny particles of 'meteor dust' high in the atmosphere reflect sunlight. Noctilucent clouds are the highest in Earth's atmosphere, and are only seen during summer nights."

Quote: "It's a milestone no one was looking forward to, but that everyone expected. On Monday, Hawaii County Civil Defense confirmed that the officially tally of homes destroyed by ongoing eruptions in lower Puna had reached 700. Meanwhile, hundreds of other homes have sustained damage, are unlivable because of volcanic emissions or are inaccessible. And thousands remain displaced, stuck in a months-long cycle of explosive events at Halemaumau Crater, ash rising, air pollution and an ongoing flow of lava into the ocean."
Quote: "At Kilauea's summit crater, explosive eruptions continue to trigger large quakes. The latest happened Monday about 9:20 a.m., when a explosion generated a magnitude-5.3 earthquake. Meanwhile, the eruptions that started May 3 show no signs of stopping."

http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/common/printpreview.asp?categoryCode=281&newsIdx=252156
Quote: "Songdo, an island metropolis built on reclaimed land in southern Incheon, has been haunted by a mysterious foul smell over the past three years. According to the Yeonsu District Office last week, its officials have received complaints about unpleasant smells since 2015, but the cause remains elusive. 'This year alone, we have received hundreds of complaints,' an environmental health official told The Korea Times. 'Sometimes it smells like trash. At other times, it's like a smell of gas.' The official said there are no facilities that would cause such odors. Inspectors have looked into suspected places nearby, including a sewage treatment center, landfills and the offices of the Korea Gas Corporation, but failed to determine the cause."
Quote: "We think the smell most likely came from outside the island, perhaps further away than we expect."
Note: Yeah, outside the island, like from the ocean...

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/07/180709101149.htm
Quote: "Massive pieces of ice half a kilometre high broke off. The water roiled as the new icebergs rolled and crashed. Then the larger chunk of ice, estimated to be roughly half the size of New York's Manhattan Island, began its journey to the sea. In the end, a piece of ice almost seven kilometres long and one kilometre thick broke off. Five to eight billion tons of ice was lost. It is one of the biggest glacier calving events captured on video."
Note: Greenland is also losing a billion tons of ice PER DAY now, so the equivalent of this calving event is happening every week now, but usually distributed across the landmass instead of in one giant calving event. So Greenland is now losing roughly 25 Manhattans worth of ice per year, and the melt rate is accelerating...

http://www.country94.ca/news/623060204/sulfur-smell-forces-evacuation-north-end-mcdonalds
Quote: "A rotten egg smell probably wasn't very welcome for everyone having breakfast at McDonald's in the North end this morning. Fire crews got the call to respond to a possible propane leak about 840 this morning. The restaurant was evacuated as a few agencies checked the air quality for any propane and came up with zero readings."

http://www.shieldsgazette.com/news/readers-try-to-sniff-out-the-cause-of-the-jarrow-stink-1-9249929
Quote: "For the last week a foul smell, described similar to that of ‘rotten eggs’ has lingered around the town. Health experts are looking into the problem but its cause remains unknown and fingers are being pointed to stagnant water in the River Don or Tyne, which has been warmed up in the recent heatwave."
2018-07-13 - Rotten egg smell and methane hit area outside home in coastal Whangarei (New Zealand), woman hospitalized:
http://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/news/national/potential-methane-gas-leak-in-whanganui-sends-woman-to-hospital/
Quote: "A couple still have no idea what led to the presence of what was thought to be methane gas around their house which put one of them in hospital with poisoning. The incident happened last Thursday afternoon on the corner of Mosston and Fox Rds in Whanganui. The husband didn't want to them to be identified but said his wife had been outside and when she came in told him she could smell gas. 'So I poked my head out the door and had a sniff and said to her it smelt like gas,' he said. 'Then she's walked down the driveway to shut the gate. When she got back in she said, "I feel dizzy, I don't feel very well". And that's when she laid on the couch and within five to 10 minutes she was having seizures from it.'"
Note: They 'smelled gas', which means rotten egg odor. But the authorities said it was methane. Maybe there was some methane there TOO, but methane definitely didn't cause the rotten egg odor, seeing as methane is odorless. And the woman had seizures. The rotten egg odor was almost certainly hydrogen sulfide, which is neurotoxic and can cause seizures, and maybe there was some methane present too. Both gases are produced in the same areas - sewage areas, swamps, anoxic areas in oceans, etc. Here's a Google Maps link of this area. Looks like a likely area to be hit by hydrogen sulfide and methane blowing in off the ocean, as do the two areas in the events listed above this one...

Quote: "A massive sargassum seaweed bloom is now blanketing a huge section of the Caribbean. Locals complain of rotting eggs smell."
Note: That rotten egg odor is hydrogen sulfide, produced as the seaweed is broken down by anaerobic bacteria and archaea. This seaweed is food for the ancient creatures that produce hydrogen sulfide...

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...

http://www.thewestmorlandgazette.co.uk/news/16357972.skywatch-keep-an-eye-on-the-sky-for-a-jaw-dropping-spectacular/
http://www.sott.net/article/391334-English-astronomer-reports-photographing-more-noctilucent-clouds-in-past-six-weeks-than-last-three-years
Note: SOTT asks, "Are noctilucent clouds increasing because of the cooling climate, and the rise of fireball and volcanic activity?" Actually, no, the increase in noctilucent clouds is because a rising amount of methane is entering the atmosphere due to the WARMING climate. The methane then rises high into the atmosphere and breaks down into carbon dioxide and water, and it is this rising amount of upper atmosphere water vapor that is causing the increase in noctilucent clouds in recent years, concurrent with the rising amount of methane in the atmosphere, as mentioned just this month in the 2018-07-02 update...

2018-07-21 - As the world continues to warm, sea turtles turning almost entirely female, researchers to see if alligators are affected similarly:
http://www.news-journalonline.com/news/20180721/climate-change-is-turning-sea-turtle-eggs-female-what-about-alligators
Quote: "Sometime in mid-August, 400 baby alligators will hatch on the roof of a building at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville. Researchers will scoop up the newborns and tally them up: male or female? If professor Adam Rosenblatt’s hypothesis is correct, most of the tiny reptiles wriggling out of their manmade nests will be female, thanks to climate change. The warming world has already launched a new — overwhelming female — generation of sea turtles. In the Pacific Ocean’s most important sea turtle nesting area, females outnumber males 116 to 1, National Geographic reported. More and more South Florida sea turtles are born female too, said Florida Atlantic University Professor Jeanette Wyneken. In the last decade, seven of the 10 years Wyneken and her students found every sea turtle nest they sampled in Palm Beach County was totally female. 'Basically what we’re seeing is when the temps would go over 31 Celsius (87.8 degrees Fahrenheit) we would pretty much have 100 percent female nests,' she said."

Note: SOTT says, "We're witnessing similar events to those experienced during the Little Ice Age of the 18th century; drought as well as epic flooding amidst overall global cooling:" Yeah, well, there are some differences. For one, the planet is warming, not cooling, and what we're witnessing is a whole lot more similar to what occurred in the Permian-Triassic extinction event that wiped out most life on this planet. And in the 18th century, the permafrost wasn't melting, Greenland wasn't losing a billion tons of ice PER DAY from warming, there was no Northwest Passage because the Arctic ice had not yet disintegrated from warming, atmospheric methane and CO2 levels weren't skyrocketing, gigantic craters weren't appearing in Siberia from methane exploding out of the ground, and multiple coastal cities weren't investigating why their areas were being mysteriously hit by hydrogen sulfide. So other than being completely different in just about every way, sure, things are just like the 18th century! Derp...

Quote: "A mysterious odor is plaguing neighborhoods here. 'It’s terrible. It’s gross. I can’t even describe it,' said Ronda Britton. 'Sometimes when you’re walking by it’s like death,' Nicholas Britton added. 'You’re like, what in the heck? You’re looking around thinking "What the heck’s around?" Maybe an animal or something.' The foul smell has even reached West Valley City Hall. 'It’s kind of a sewer type smell,' said Sam Johnson, the city's communications director."

Quote: "The Oceanside Police Department told residents not to panic after the department received several calls about a strong smell. According to authorities, the smell is outgassing from the ocean and is non-toxic. Ocean outgassing happens when the ocean releases gasses that were trapped or dissolved. A similar incident was reported in La Jolla earlier this year. At this time, it's unclear what is causing the outgassing."
Note: Yeah, people got sick during that La Jolla incident, so obviously it IS toxic. Non-toxic stuff doesn't make people sick. Methane, hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide accumulate at the bottom of oceans, so that's what the oceans are belching up. Methane and carbon dioxide are odorless, so the fact that this incident had a strong smell means there was hydrogen sulfide present. Hydrogen sulfide is VERY toxic. In fact, at 1 part per thousand it can kill you with one breath. As the oceans continue to warm, these 'ocean outgassing' events will become more common. Eventually, just as has happened before, this process will wipe out most life on Earth...
