Event Update For 2018-08-08

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.

Quote: "According to Cal Fire, 14 of the largest 20 wildfires in California have occurred since 2000. This isn’t normal, Westerling said, because 'normal' isn’t on the table anymore. 'We can’t say, "This is what we’re going to see from now on," because the climate is still changing,' Westerling said. 'No one alive today will have the experience of a stable climate system.'"

2018-08-08 - Half the Great Barrier Reef has died off from hot ocean waters since 2016:
http://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2018/08/explore-atlas-great-barrier-reef-coral-bleaching-map-climate-change/
http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/08/national-geographic-half-of-great.html

Quote: "Half of the Great Barrier Reef has been bleached to death since 2016. Mass coral bleaching, a global problem triggered by climate change, occurs when unnaturally hot ocean water destroys a reef’s colorful algae, leaving the coral to starve. The Great Barrier Reef illustrates how extensive the damage can be: Thirty percent of the coral perished in 2016, another 20 percent in 2017. The effect is akin to a forest after a devastating fire. Much of the marine ecosystem along the reef’s north coast has become barren and skeletal with little hope of recovery."

Look at all those PA references on this day, geez! Ya might think the state is burnin' up. It's actually been unusually WET (ie. from RAIN which Jonny points out now contains CH4 and H2S - both flammable). Hmmmmm.

We’re getting dangerously close to a climate death spiral, new study warns

[and here's the hopium, put it off til later, not to worry BULLSHIT]
The world must keep ratcheting emissions down to zero in the second half of the century to keep total warming “well below 2°C” (3.6°F) — as the nations of the world unanimously agreed in Paris.

[see? it gives the impression that any action doesn't need to happen until most of us are long gone, and that just to play along with the weak, voluntary Paris Climate Accord which was watered down and used outdated data]

[pretty obvious he was just making shit up, or won't read science]

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has not been able to offer any scientific evidence for statements made by the agency's former administrator, Scott Pruitt, when he went on CNBC in March 2017 and said that carbon dioxide was not known to be a major contributor to climate change. [more]

At “America First Energy Conference”, solar power is dumb, liberals are wrong about sea level rise, climate science is a UN conspiracy, and White House officials celebrate oil exports
http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/08/at-america-first-energy-conference.html

Pumping carbon dioxide into the air makes the planet greener; the United Nations puts out fake science about climate change to control the global energy market; and wind and solar energy are simply “dumb”.

These are among the messages that flowed from the America First Energy Conference in New Orleans this week, hosted by some of the country’s most vocal climate change doubters - and attended by a handful of Trump administration officials. [more]

Here's another barge full of scrap cars going up in flames, this time in coastal Surrey (Canada):

https://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/firefighters-battling-barge-fire-in-surrey

Quote: "The barge, located east of the Patullo Bridge, appears to be loaded with old cars and the fire is contained to the industrial site. Surrey Fire crews are working to put out the blaze. Witnesses have posted photos on social media showing the fire sending a huge plume of black smoke in the air. Several people said it sounded like cars were exploding. The smoke is affecting the air quality across Metro Vancouver, with many residents reporting a chemical taste to the air. Fire officials say smouldering material from old cars and other scrap metal is causing the toxic smoke."

Experts Warn That The “Scariest” Stock Market Signals Are Flashing Red
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/experts-warn-that-the-scariest-stock-market-signals-are-flashing-red

So many top professionals in the financial industry are sounding the alarm about a coming stock market crash right now. And there certainly have been rumblings in 2018 – not too long ago we had a three day stretch that was called “the tech bloodbath”, and during that time Facebook had the worst day for a single company in stock market history. But we haven’t seen the really big “crash” yet. Many have been waiting for it to happen for several years, and some people out there are convinced that it is never going to come at all. Of course the truth is that we are in perhaps the largest stock market bubble that our nation has ever seen, and all other large stock market bubbles have always ended with a major price collapse. So whether it happens immediately or it takes a little while longer, it is inevitable that stock prices will eventually return to their long-term averages. [more]

Aliens blamed for spate of cow mutilations in Argentina after 'strange lights' seen in sky
https://www.sott.net/article/393212-Aliens-blamed-for-spate-of-cow-mutilations-in-Argentina-after-strange-lights-seen-in-sky

Local farmers in Santa Fe, north-eastern Argentina, have seen seven cows killed and mutilated with some believing extraterrestrials are killing the bovine animals.

Witnesses claim the cows look as if they were attacked with lasers, while strange markings were also found on their tongues and genitals.

Norberto Bieri, owner of one of the seven cows, told local media: "They did not have tongues or flesh around the jaw, but they did not take any animals away or remove their bones.

"It seems as though the clean incisions were done with a laser as there is no trace of a knife being used. The cows did not have signs of blood and nothing had appeared to eat them. [more]

I think you're on to something Mike!

Most people don't pay any attention to environmental losses (like trees, birds, bees, insects, etc), especially the magnitude of the marine die-off. What they don't "get" by ignoring it all (while they look at their phones all day) is that it's going to happen the same way with humanity, and "sooner than expected."

We've already seen an entire town burned out in Canada (last year), but one of these days the fires will be overwhelming - driven by high and dry winds through millions of dead trees - and coming for civilization. It won't be just fires though. Pollution, heat death, crop losses, flooding, radiation, tsunamis, earthquakes and the like will compound the losses, so that in the coming years headlines (while they're still around) will reflect similar numbers of HUMANS dying as with fish currently.

We've seen heat related deaths in Europe and Japan lately that portray a prelude of what's in store, and Jonny's shown that WATER is claiming more and more victims. Once the methane spike happens, things will really kick in to overdrive.
