"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 2018-08-24
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.

2018-08-24 - Hydrogen sulfide kills off life, especially oceanic life, when too much CO2 enters the atmosphere:
http://science.sciencemag.org/content/361/6404/804
Quote: "Yao et al. report sulfur isotopic data from the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, an interval around 55 million years ago when atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and global temperatures were also high. They found widespread anoxia and resulting high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide, which is toxic to marine organisms. Similar effects could have severe negative effects on ocean ecosystems."
Quote: "Of particular interest is the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), where the carbon dioxide input into the atmosphere was similar to the IPCC RCP8.5 emission scenario. Here we present sulfur-isotope data that record a positive 1 per mil excursion during the PETM. Modeling suggests that large parts of the ocean must have become sulfidic. The toxicity of hydrogen sulfide will render two of the largest and least explored ecosystems on Earth, the mesopelagic and bathypelagic zones, uninhabitable by multicellular organisms. This will affect many marine species whose ecozones stretch into the deep ocean."
Note: They're comparing the projections of the planet's atmosphere of today with what happened in the extinction event 55 million years ago. They should look even farther back in time, to what happened in the Permian-Triassic extinction event 252 million years ago. The Permian-Triassic extinction, sometimes called the 'Great Dying', was Earth's deadliest, killing off more life, by far, than any other extinction event. Anoxic conditions and hydrogen sulfide were widespread throughout the oceans in that extinction event as well. The IPCC's projections are preposterously conservative, which means that we won't merely be seeing an extinction event comparable to the one 55 million years ago (which would still be plenty bad enough to wipe out the human race) but one far worse than that, one comparable to the Permian-Triassic extinction event, or possibly even worse than that, because as we die off there will be several hundred nuclear reactors melting down too, which obviously wasn't a factor 252 million years ago...
2018-08-24 - Australian graziers fear unexplained pasture dieback:
http://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2018-07-02/unexplained-dieback-qld-creeping-pasture-killer-on-the-move/9898250
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2018/08/australian-graziers-fear-unexplained.html
Quote: "Graziers fear unexplained pasture dieback has become a 'creeping cancer' that's moving into some of Queensland's best cattle country, yet researchers are still clueless about what is causing it."
Quote: "It's very common [and] it's widespread on the coast."
Quote: "While so far the condition has been largely coastal, there is evidence the dieback is moving south and west, but researchers are still unsure what is causing the condition."
Note: So stuff started mysteriously dying along the coast and now the die-off is spreading inland. Imagine that!
2018-08-24 - Waste and recycling fires escalating dramatically in Canada and the US:
http://www.environmentalleader.com/2018/08/waste-recycling-facility-fires/
Quote: "Waste and recycling facility fires across the United States and Canada surged starting in the spring. During the first four months of the year alone, there was actually 93% uptick compared to the same period last year, a scrap metal and recycling fire security expert found. Throughout the summer it seemed like there was a blaze every other day."
Note: From the full hypothesis: "Metal-related businesses will be hit hard, including salvage yards and metal recycling centers." Also, "Trash-related facilities such as recycling centers and landfills will burn hard too, as hydrogen sulfide is absorbed into flammable absorbent materials like wood, paper, cardboard, straw, hay, dried brush, generic trash, clothing, cotton, wool."

http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/database/index.php?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=CC-20180825-64377-ATF
http://www.thebigwobble.org/2018/08/the-biggest-colony-of-king-penguins-on.html
Quote: "The biggest colony of king penguins on the planet has collapsed, with nearly 90 per cent of the population vanishing since the 1980s, ecologists said."
Quote: "Although nobody has set foot on the island since 1982, photographs taken from a helicopter during a recent flyover show that there could be just 60,000 breeding pairs left, and scientists fear the decline will continue. 'It is completely unexpected, and particularly significant since this colony represented nearly one third of the king penguins in the world,' said research leader Dr. Henri Weimers-kirch, an ecologist at the Centre for Biological Studies in Chize, France."

It was only a matter of time before the H2S began making itself known, as in past extinction events. Sure, it's always around in sewer systems, oil facilities and such, but now it's blowing around in the atmosphere, bubbling up from the ocean and - like the full hypothesis states - coming from all sorts of water sources (and probably from peat bogs and boreal forest waste too). The IPCC isn't really doing ANYTHING but noting what's coming, and downplaying that, at best (to me they're out and out LYING about all of it). Meanwhile, as Jonny documents unexplained "medical events" or "episodes" are erupting all over.

Felicitie Gillette was swimming in Lake Hernando about 1 a.m. Wednesday when an alligator, estimated to be between 5 and 6 feet, grabbed her left arm, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation (FWC) Commission said.
Gillette, who authorities said is homeless, wrestled with the gator until she freed herself from its grip and made it to land, where she called 911.
"It came up out of nowhere and attacked," Gillette reportedly said in the call. "I'm freaking out." [more; WOW, she fought it off!]

Hurricane Harvey’s ominous forecast and how meteorologists reacted a year ago – “We’ve never forecast this much before”
http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/08/hurricane-harveys-ominous-forecast-and.html
A year ago Hurricane Harvey rewrote the U.S. rainfall record books after a catastrophic strike and then an agonizing crawl for days along the Gulf Coast.
"Harvey was the most significant tropical cyclone rainfall event in United States history, both in scope and peak rainfall amounts, since reliable rainfall records began around the 1880s," meteorologists Eric Blake and David Zelinsky wrote in the National Hurricane Center's final report on Harvey.

Hurricane Lane brings record rain to Hawaii, inundates parts of Big Island
http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/08/hurricane-lane-brings-record-rain-to.html
Hurricane Lane secured its place in the history books before it quickly dissipated into a tropical storm and moved off from Hawaii. The storm caused damage, mostly on the Big Island, where rivers raged near Hilo and nearly 40 people had to be rescued from homes.
There were no deaths from the storm, which had the potential to cause much more destruction.
As it lingered, the storm's outer bands were already over the Big Island, allowing Lane to drop 45.8 inches (116 centimeters) of rain, according to preliminary figures, National Weather Service meteorologist Brooke Bingaman said.
That puts it in fourth place for the most rain from a storm in the United States since 1950. Hurricane Harvey, which stalled over Houston last year, dropped the most rain in that span with 60.58 inches (154 centimeters), Bingaman said. Hurricane Hiki dropped 52 inches (132 centimeters) in Hawaii in 1950, and Amelia produced a 48-inch (122 centimeter) rainfall in 1978.
Rain was still falling on the Big Island, and the total could still increase. [more]

Renowned coral scientist: Great Barrier Reef headed for massive death – “It’s the beginning of a planetary catastrophe”
ReplyDeletehttp://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/08/great-barrier-reef-headed-for-massive.html
John "Charlie" Veron – widely known as "The Godfather of Coral" – is a renowned reef expert who has personally discovered nearly a quarter of the world's coral species and has spent the past 45 years diving Australia's Great Barrier Reef.
But after a lifetime trying to make sense of the vast ecosystems that lie beneath the ocean's surface, the 73-year-old is now becoming a prophet of their extinction.
"It's the beginning of a planetary catastrophe," he tells CNN. "I was too slow to become vocal about it." [more]

Peter King has been covering sports for almost 40 years and has been named National Sportswriter of the Year three times. Every week he publishes a lengthly article analyzing professional football in depth. When he wrote for Sports Illustrated the column was named Monday Morning Quarterback, but after his recent move to NBC Sports it was retitled Football Morning in America.
Mr. King probably does not know that wildland firefighters have been called “tactical athletes”, but in his August 20 column he briefly digressed to mention wildland firefighting and honor a firefighter who was killed by a falling tree on the Mendocino Complex of Fires in Northern California [more]

Salting the earth: North Dakota farmers struggle with a toxic byproduct of the oil boom
http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/08/salting-earth-north-dakota-farmers.html
For the past two decades, Peterson and his wife Christine have been dealing with the spillage of saltwater — a byproduct of oil production — on their land, which grows peas, soybeans and various types of grain. Almost 40 years ago, they signed a contract with an oil company "land man" who came to their house and said there might be oil on their land.
In 1997, two spills covered dozens of acres with more than 50,000 gallons of saltwater. A decade later, another 21,000 gallons of saltwater spilled. And since then, though their land never produced much oil or oil revenue, the Petersons say they have seen another 10 spills.
They claim these spills were never properly cleaned up. [more]
