Jumping Jack Flash Hypothesis: It's A Gas Gas Gas: Event Update For 2018-09-20

Event Update For 2018-09-20

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.

2018-09-20 - Dozens of students sickened by unknown rotten egg odor in Carterton (New Zealand):
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12129431
http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/107297075/mystery-of-the-smell-and-sickness-at-carterton-school-lingers-for-those-affected
http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/wairarapa/107281930/competing-theories-over-cause-of-carterton-school-mystery-substance-scare
http://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/carterton-school-mystery-police-say-likely-no-plane-involved-in-incident-left-children-hospitalized

Quote: "A Fire and Emergency service spokesman says he does not believe the mystery substance affecting dozens of children at a Wairarapa school came from a plane. It had been widely thought that a chemical came from a plane flying over South End School in Carterton. But Fire and Emergency incident controller Brett Lockyer told Newstalk ZB that he didn't think that was the case."

Quote: "After tracking down the plane and its pilot, Inspector Miller says there is no evidence to indicate the plane is the source of the smell."

Quote: "..…we don't believe it's come from a plane...we just don't know where it's come from. That's a mystery to us at the moment."

Quote: "Daniel is one of 10 pupils hospitalised on Friday after a mysterious sulfur-like smell swept the small Carterton school, sickening the children, and forcing 180 to be decontaminated."

Quote: "The trouble started when a strong sulfur smell was detected early afternoon, forcing about 30 children to fall ill after breathing in the unknown substance. Four or five students began to vomit."

Note: Several other schools have been hit by unknown rotten egg odors in just the past week alone too. We're creeping closer to the time when we'll be seeing entire schoolyards - or stadiums or residential areas - full of corpses. Once the concentration of gas reaches 1 part per 1000 then it won't be sick people, it'll be dead people. Carterton is about 30 miles from the coast in several different directions, so maybe an hour for the ocean to belch up some poison gas and hit this school if there's a 30 MPH wind...

2018-09-20 - Toxic blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) in Lake Winnebago continues to cause problems in Neenah and Menasha (Wisconsin):
http://fox11online.com/news/local/blue-green-algae-cause-for-foul-smells-in-neenah-and-menasha

Quote: "Todd Drew is the sanitarian for the Menasha Health Department. 'The complaints came in under the assumption that it is a sewage issue or some sort of sewer gas,' he said. 'It does smell similar to that, but it's definitely the lake.' The smell is a consequence of the blue-green algae blooms on Lake Winnebago."

Note: Right, it's the lake, but when the algae dies and decomposes, that creates hydrogen sulfide, which is sewer gas. They're having the same smells along the coasts in Florida for the same reason - the red tide algae dies, decomposes and the decomposition causes the emission of hydrogen sulfide. The algae also suck up a lot of the oxygen while they're alive and the bacteria that produce hydrogen sulfide like low levels of oxygen or, preferably, no oxygen at all. So these algae blooms not only make the environment friendlier for the bacteria that produce hydrogen sulfide while they're alive, they also provide them with a handy food source when they die. So far as the bacteria that produce hydrogen sulfide are concerned, these algae blooms are a win-win proposition...

Good morning Jonny and all readers of his blog.

Yeah, we're creeping closer (soon it will be "jogging" then "sprinting") to the big die-off of humanity and most other life. The signs are there - healthy birds dropping out of the sky, people keeling over doing whatever, while the cyano-bacteria proliferate, CH4/H2S continue to percolate out of the sea beds & permafrost and waft around, then humanity voluntarily blows it into the atmosphere through fracking, etc., just to help out.

Our pollution is killing the ocean, has already irreparably damaged the climate (which has far reaching consequences - especially on food production), and has changed the atmospheric chemistry such that most of the trees on the planet are dying from the roots up.

Lavrov: US sanctions are sign of dollar crisis & decline of confidence
https://www.sott.net/article/396538-Lavrov-US-sanctions-are-sign-of-dollar-crisis-decline-of-confidence

The US dollar system has completely discredited itself and the confidence in the greenback is falling very sharply, according to the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Sanctions by Washington are a sign of that.

Russia is working on ways to cut its dependence on the US and the dollar system, Lavrov said Friday during his visit to Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

"More and more of our partners in Asia, in Latin America, start to draw the same conclusions [about the US dollar]. I think that this trend will only continue," Lavrov said. [more]

Hailstorm wreaks havoc on crops in North Kashmir
https://www.sott.net/article/396549-Hailstorm-wreaks-havoc-on-crops-in-North-Kashmir

Nearly 45 per cent of fruits and paddy crops have suffered damage due to the recent hailstorm that hit areas of Sopore and Handwara in north Kashmir.

The recent hailstorm wrecked havoc in Mawer Langate areas of Handwara, causing damage to apple orchards, vegetable crops and paddy fields. [more]

Dozens killed by flooding in northern regions of Ghana
https://www.sott.net/article/396544-Dozens-killed-by-flooding-in-northern-regions-of-Ghana

Long-term heavy rainfall combined with water releases from the Bagre Dam in Burkina Faso, have caused severe flooding in northern Ghana over the past few weeks.

Ghana's National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) said that at least 34 people have died. The country's northern regions - Upper West, Upper East and Northern - have all been affected. Local media reported that as many as 100,000 people have been displaced. [more]

Antibiotic-Resistant superbugs are getting deadlier - viruses may be a solution
https://www.sott.net/article/396550-Antibiotic-Resistant-superbugs-are-getting-deadlier-viruses-may-be-a-solution

The world's most frightening infections aren't carried by plague-infested rats, rabid dogs, or chimps with Ebola. They're transmitted by "superbugs" - disease-causing bacteria that can't be killed by antibiotics. [but they DO carry/transmit other diseases!]

This year, superbugs will kill about 700,000 people, including 23,000 Americans. That toll will increase exponentially in the coming years as ever-evolving bacteria develop resistance to more and more antibiotics. Even hand sanitizers are struggling against certain microbes. [more]

"In order to prevent further warming, the carbon dioxide levels must not grow any further"

Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Growth Rate
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2018/09/in-order-to-prevent-further-warming.html

This is not just a "business as usual" scenario, it is worse than that, we're actually moving backward, becoming more and more unsustainable with every year. This shows unequivocally that the efforts undertaken so-far to limit green house gases such as carbon dioxide are woefully inadequate."

Misleading interpretations of the data

Unfortunately, the carbon dioxide data has been subject to some misleading interpretations, due to poor statistical reasoning. For example in the Nature Communications paper [Keenan et al, 2016] entitled "Recent pause in the growth rate of atmospheric CO2 due to enhanced terrestrial carbon uptake", the authors identify "a pause in the growth rate of atmospheric CO2", lasting from 2002 to (at least) 2014. They also identify a "point of structural change" in the growth rate in 2002. In fact it is highly unlikely that any such pause or point of structural change actually exists. On the growth rate figure above, the decadal average growth rate was 1.93±0.01 ppm/y at the start of 2002 and 2.37±0.07 ppm/y at the end of 2014 (mean ± 2 std dev), so the growth rate has indeed grown. In fact, the growth rate of the growth rate (also called the acceleration) within the start of 2002 to end of 2014 interval is 0.0339±0.0055 ppm/y2, whose lower bound is close to the average acceleration in the 40 years prior to that (1962 to 2002) at 0.0295±0.0016 ppm/y2, showing that it is very likely that the growth rate has in fact grown faster in the 2002 to 2014 interval, than during the 40 years prior to that. Publishing such flippant ideas should be avoided, as they create confusion where there should be clarity. It would be prudent of the authors to retract their paper (or explain why it is a valuable contribution when it doesn't agree with observations).[more]

Paul Beckwith on the Blue Ocean Event in the Arctic

The Arctic Blue-Ocean-Event (BOE). When? Then What?
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2018/09/paul-beckwith-on-blue-ocean-event-in_22.html [15 min.]

From my analysis, which I discuss in this video, my best guess is that the BOE will happen in 2022. There will be essentially NO sea ice in the Arctic Ocean for a few weeks to a month in September, 2022.

After this BOE happens, then what will follow in subsequent years? I think that by BOE+2 years the Arctic Ocean will be ice free for August, September, and October. By BOE+4 years it will be ice free for 5 months, and by BOE+10 years the Arctic Ocean will be free of sea ice year round. [more]

Economic damage wrought by hurricane Florence nearly 10 times worse than expected
https://www.sott.net/article/396611-Economic-damage-wrought-by-hurricane-Florence-nearly-10-times-worse-than-expected

According to the Wall Street Journal, the ratings agency's estimates put the total economic toll at somewhere between $38 billion and $50 billion - more than double an initial estimate of between $8 billion and $20 billion from Goldman Sachs and S&P. And nearly ten times CoreLogic's initial estimate of between $3 billion and $5 billion.

If damages reach the upper end of that range, it would leave Florence in seventh place among the biggest storms, just after 1992's Hurricane Andrew, according to Moody's estimates.

Rivers in the Carolinas are continuing to rise, and more than 600 roads were still closed Friday in North Carolina. North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper warned it still isn't safe for many people to return home including the 3,700 who remain in shelters. [more]

Poison Papers reveal: Monsanto knew PCBs were dangerous and kept profiting for decades
https://www.sott.net/article/396555-Poison-Papers-reveal-Monsanto-knew-PCBs-were-dangerous-and-kept-profiting-for-decades

The papers show wide-ranging issues not only with companies, but more importantly with the regulatory agencies meant to oversee the industry, von Stackelberg explains.

Among many other issues, some documents show that chemical manufacturer Monsanto knew a family of chemicals known as PCBs were harmful, persistent contaminants back in the '50s, '60s and earlier, yet continued to prioritize their sale for years. [more]
