Event Update For 2018-08-14

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.

http://www.longroom.com/discussion/1139273/yellowstone-volcano-gas-warning-usgs-warns-of-poisonous-gas-emissions-in-national-park

Quote: "Yellowstone volcano is the subject of much speculation over whether there will be a major eruption in the future - but now National Park’s authorities have a more pressing issue to worry about as experts warned of toxic gases venting from the supervolcano."

Quote: "The two killers are poisonous levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulphide (H2S), which are concentrating around ground levels."

2018-08-14 - Unknown rotten egg odor evacuates high school in Tempe (Arizona):

Quote: "Corona del Sol High School students were evacuated to the football field Tuesday morning due to a 'strange odor,' officials said. Tempe Fire Department was called about a possible gas leak but crews were unable to locate any source for the odor, Tempe Fire said."

Note: Probably just some poison gas around randomly in the atmosphere, but hey, nobody died! This time...

2018-08-14 - Methane explosion damages sprinkler system near school in Rush (Colorado), 1 injured:

http://gazette.com/news/methane-gas-explodes-at-eastern-el-paso-county-school-burning/article_959ac54a-a017-11e8-8665-4b55b775e197.html
http://www.kktv.com/content/news/Methane-explosion-injures-1-in-Rush-490870301.html

Quote: "The El Paso County Sheriff's Office says a methane explosion happened Tuesday afternoon at the Miami-Yoder School. The good news is that no students were injured, according to the sheriff's office. The methane was built up inside a sprinkler system about 150 feet south of the school, the sheriff's office said, and when a worker went to open a valve, the explosion occurred. It's not clear how methane got into the sprinkler system."

Note: Methane is water-soluble, so sprinkler system, water-soluble methane, probably got into the sprinkler system via contaminated water. Either that or it's in the ground there...

Wow, Jonny - you're on FIRE with this report! Lots of evidence that JJFH is not only valid, but CURRENT. Humor, facts, and people dropping dead combine with MAJOR infrastructure collapse, accidents of all kinds and unbelievable fires happening DAILY.

I like the way you 'see' the tomato plant bursting into flame and raise it with the riding toy car doing the same! All kinda shit is burning that no one would have believed COULD burn, let alone suddenly burst into flame, in the past.

I think, like McPherson, you're going to become more popular due to the fact that you were on to this phenomenon WAY before anyone else, and that it's becoming more prevalent. People researching it will eventually come to your site and wonder where the hell they've BEEN all this time.

Sydney’s bushfire season now starts in winter – “We may have to rethink how we live”

“Devastating” dolphin loss in Florida red tide disaster – More than 100 tons of dead sea creatures have been shoveled up from smelly, deserted beaches
http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/08/devastating-dolphin-loss-in-florida-red.html

[I read 300 tons elsewhere]

In just the past week, 12 dolphins washed ashore dead in Sarasota County, typically the toll seen in an entire year.

"It is physically and mentally exhausting," said Gretchen Lovewell, who is in charge of a skeleton crew at Mote Marine Laboratory that collects dead or distressed sea turtles and marine mammals.

She and two colleagues "have been literally working around the clock," Lovewell added.

On Sunday, near the fluffy sands of Siesta Key, one of America's top-ranked beaches, Lovewell recovered the remains of a decomposing dolphin. A faint number, 252, was visible, freeze-branded onto its dorsal fin.

It was a 12-year-old male named Speck, who had been spotted more than 300 times by researchers monitoring generations of bottlenose dolphins in the Sarasota Bay.

"It was devastating," said Randall Wells, director of the Chicago Zoological Society's Sarasota Dolphin Research Program, the world's longest-running study of a wild dolphin population, under way since 1970.

Wells pulled out a map showing where researchers have seen Speck over the years. He often swam in waters right near Wells' own home.
Researchers had also tracked Speck's mother and grandmother before they died from swallowing fishing gear.

"Speck is somebody we have known from the time he was born," said Wells, who began studying dolphins when he was 16.

"He was named after my dad." [more]

Greenhouse gas feedback discovered in freshwater lakes – “The warming climates that promote the growth of aquatic plants have the potential to trigger a damaging feedback loop in natural ecosystems”
http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/08/greenhouse-gas-feedback-discovered-in.html

Latest research finds plant debris in lake sediment affects methane emissions. The flourishing reed beds created by changing climates could threaten to double the already significant methane production of the world’s northern lakes.

A new study of chemical reactions that occur when organic matter decomposes in freshwater lakes has revealed that the debris from trees suppresses production of methane – while debris from reed beds actually promotes this harmful greenhouse gas.

As vegetation in and around bodies of water continues to change, with forest cover being lost while global warming causes wetland plants to thrive, the many lakes of the northern hemisphere – already a major source of methane – could almost double their emissions in the next fifty years.

5 Signs That Global Financial Markets Are Entering A Bear Market, And 11 Ways That You Can Get Prepared For The Chaos That Is Coming…

#1 Global stocks have now fallen beneath all key moving averages. Those key moving averages are important psychological thresholds for investors, and if we have a few more days like Wednesday we could see global financial markets go into full panic mode.

#2 European banking stocks have now officially entered a bear market, and all major European stock indexes are now red for the year.

#3 Global banking stocks are down a whopping 23 percent from the peak established earlier this year, and that means that they have officially entered a bear market.

#4 Emerging market stocks have fallen 20 percent from the peak, and that means that they are also now in a bear market.

#5 When demand for industrial metals falls, that indicates that an economic slowdown is coming. On Wednesday, prices for industrial metals fell to their lowest level in almost a year, and “Dr. Copper officially entered a bear market. [more]

Make Denial Great Again

Denial is a form of euthanasia for the elderly. It's merciful...

Governor Cuomo made the offhand comment yesterday that the U.S. was never that "great" in the past, due to its history of sexism, slavery, and exploitation. The Idiocracy almost shit a brick, including the denialist-in-chief. After all it's one thing to run on the recurring fantasy of Make America Great Again, and quite another thing to say that the 1950s wasn't the utopia we all know it was. Back then women knew their place and so did all of those fucking brown people stealing the berry-picking jobs. [more]

As Earth is battered by a stream of solar wind flowing from an enormous 700,000 km-long coronal hole it comes as no surprise to me we have had a flurry of major quakes this week after the lowest count so far this century.

Since this massive hole opened up on the Sun around the 10th of August 4 major quakes have been registered across the planet three more than the entire month of June. [more]

Climate change will lock us into a feedback loop of stupidity
http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/08/climate-change-will-lock-us-into.html

Because – as already noted above – it's been hot. It's been really fucking hot. It's been record temperatures in Europe hot. It's been 93 dead from fires in Greece hot. It's been Arctic Circle on fire hot. It's no longer possible to claim that man-made climate change is a problem we're only going to have to worry about in a hypothetical future. It's here right now, and we are experiencing it

Facing $17 billion in fire damages, a CEO blames climate change – “Climate change is no longer coming, it’s here. And we are living with it every day.”
http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/08/facing-17-billion-in-fire-damages-ceo.html

Authorities don’t yet know the cause of some of the fires, but the region’s giant utility, PG&E Corp., sees a culprit at work -- climate change. The blazes in recent years, it said, are the latest example of how global warming has produced unusually hot, dry conditions that spawn more frequent and intense fires. “Climate change is no longer coming, it’s here,” Geisha Williams, chief executive officer of PG&E, said in an email. “And we are living with it every day.”
Scientists tend to agree with that assessment. But California’s biggest utility has an especially compelling reason to link the fires to the environment. State investigators have tied PG&E equipment, such as trees hitting power lines, to some of the blazes in October that in total destroyed nearly 9,000 structures and killed 44 people. It faces damage liabilities totaling as much as $17 billion, and possible financial ruin -- its stock is down about 37 percent since the fires -- unless Williams can convince California lawmakers that the company’s problem is, in fact, a climate change problem.
