Event Update For 2018-08-09





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.

2018-08-09 - Underground coal refuse fire spreads near glass plant near the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania):
http://triblive.com/local/valleynewsdispatch/13960005-74/underground-fire-at-east-deer-glass-plant-appears-to-have-spread

Quote: "The coal refuse fire burning under the Pittsburgh Glass Works plant in East Deer may be spreading. Fire was seen shooting up through the ground behind the plant Thursday night, according to workers. Two pockets of smoke rising from the ground were visible behind the plant along Ferry Street on Friday morning. Since last September, the company has been investigating an ongoing fire under the plant caused by coal refuse that apparently was used as backfill for the factory site many years ago. Thursday’s fire outbreak outside of the plant, closer to the Allegheny River, appears to be a new development, according to a statement released by PGW on Friday."

  1. Good morning everyone.

    We're supposed to get rain today, tomorrow, and most or all of next week, with Wednesday being the only day that MIGHT be dryish. My garden is done. Though I managed to salvage about 30 ripe red tomatoes, the remainder of the plants are shot from all the rain while I was out west and the persistent "rust" or "blight" that has penetrated the soil (and comes back each year) destroying the leaves. My melon plant that had 2 nice sized ones on it, has been devoured by creatures who were hungry, and my cucumber plant is done. The squash plant, normally very prolific, didn't produce much of anything and all the greens I planted bolted before I left, from the week of super hot weather we got in July. The pepper plant still has 2 nice sized (still green) fruit. In June we had 21 days of rain here. It's been one of the wettest summers on record for PA.

    That underground electrical fire in Havertown, the "ol' stompin' grounds" from my K - 12 years, was interesting being the first I ever heard of around there.

    West Nile Crippling El Pasoans, Rising Temperatures Play Role
    http://www.climatecentral.org/news/west-nile-el-paso-rising-temperatures-play-role-21905

    Elisa Sierra had just given birth to twins when she became infected with West Nile virus.

    The infection left Sierra, who lives on the West Side of El Paso, Texas, with meningitis and damaged her brain.

    City data shows Sierra is one of about 100 people in El Paso who have been affected by a severe form of West Nile since 2000, which was around the time it was discovered in the U.S.

    As El Paso and other governments work to reduce infections, a new analysis by Climate Central shows rising temperatures have increased the number of days each year when mosquito-borne diseases are likely to be spread across the United States. [more]

    The Weight of Numbers: Air Pollution and PM2.5
    https://undark.org/breathtaking/

    E
    manating from smokestacks, vehicle engines, construction projects, and fires large and small, airborne pollution – sometimes smaller than the width of a human hair, and very often the product of human activity – is not just contributing to climate change. It is a leading driver of heart disease and stroke, lung cancer, and respiratory infections the world over. Exposure to such pollution, the most deadly of which scientists call PM2.5, is the sixth highest risk factor for death around the world, claiming more than 4 million lives annually, according to recent global morbidity data. Add in household pollutants from indoor cooking fires and other combustion sources, and the tally approaches 7 million lives lost each year.

    As it stands, developing nations bear the brunt of the problem, but particulate pollution doesn’t discriminate, and the odds are high that wherever you live, you’re breathing it in, too. [more]

  2. Monsanto ordered to pay $289 million in world's first Roundup cancer trial
    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-monsanto-cancer-lawsuit/jury-orders-monsanto-to-pay-290-million-in-california-roundup-cancer-trial-idUSKBN1KV2HB

    A California jury on Friday found Monsanto liable in a lawsuit filed by a man who alleged the company’s glyphosate-based weed-killers, including Roundup, caused his cancer and ordered the company to pay $289 million in damages.

    The case of school groundskeeper Dewayne Johnson was the first lawsuit to go to trial alleging glyphosate causes cancer. Monsanto, a unit of Bayer AG following a $62.5 billion acquisition by the German conglomerate, faces more than 5,000 similar lawsuits across the United States. [more]

    There was a landslide in Tsinsvla village, which damaged pipes and left the village without the gas. The repairing and cleaning works have been launched there.

  4. Small amount of radioactive spent nuclear fuel to go through Michigan
    https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2018/08/11/radioactive-spent-nuclear-fuel-roll-through-port-huron/959914002/

    A small amount of the most highly radioactive waste on the planet, spent nuclear fuel, is planned for a secretive, highly protected shipment from an Illinois nuclear power plant through Michigan and Port Huron, on its way to Canada.

    “A spill, release or fire here, or near waterways that flow into the St. Clair River, could potentially ruin one of the largest freshwater deltas in the world — the St. Clair Flats — and potentially poison forever drinking water and freshwater ecosystems for up to 40-plus million people of the Great Lakes, including residents of Canada, the United States, U.S. Tribes, First Nations and other indigenous peoples,” she said.

    Prison Inmates Fighting California's Deadly Fires
    https://www.ecowatch.com/california-wildfires-prison-inmates-2594551934.html

    As California faces record-breaking blazes across the state, its Department of Corrections tweeted this week that more than 2,000 inmates are working as firefighters, prompting new debate over this aspect of prison labor.

    While California's inmate firefighters are volunteers, they earn just $1/hour in the field—working alongside salaried firefighters who earn an average of $74,000 per year—and are mostly unable to apply for a state fire job upon their release from prison.

    "There are some days we are worn down to the core," incarcerated firefighter La'Sonya Edwards told the New York Times last year. "And this isn't that different from slave conditions. We need to get paid more for what we do." [more; ok, ok, $2/hr, now get back to work]
