Jumping Jack Flash Hypothesis: It's A Gas Gas Gas: Event Update For 2018-09-29

Event Update For 2018-09-29

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.

2018-09-29 - People sickened by odor on beaches in coastal Palm Beach County (Florida):

http://cbs12.com/news/local/irritants-cause-jupiter-beaches-to-close

Quote: "The beach closures began Saturday in northern Palm Beach County after some swimmers experienced medical and other respiratory issues. Experts believe it could be caused by the wind coupled with the toxic stench from algae."

Note: Decomposing algae results in hydrogen sulfide emissions, so that's probably what the toxic stench is and possibly the cause of the medical problems too. Best to avoid beaches that smell bad because that's likely to be poison gas nowadays, and even in small concentrations it's obviously not good for you and nobody knows what the long-term effects are...

2018-09-29 - Huge gobs of Sargassum seaweed continue washing ashore, rotting and releasing hydrogen sulfide in the French Antilles:
http://www.france24.com/en/20180929-france-macron-seaweed-guadeloupe-hulot

Quote: "During a trip to the French overseas territory Guadeloupe on Friday, President Emmanuel Macron pledged to keep a promise to clean up toxic Sargassum seaweed within 48 hours of it running aground. Like the rest of the Caribbean, the Antilles suffered in 2011 from an unprecedented invasion of Sargassum seaweed (sometimes known as gulf weed). The problem recurred in 2015 and then on an even larger scale in 2018. The brown seaweed poses potential health risks. The mounds of Sargassum that accumulate on the beach can reach as high as two feet and release hydrogen sulfide and ammonia as it rots. The colourless, toxic and highly flammable gas smells like rotten eggs. Inhaling it in small doses can trigger eye and respiratory irritation."

Note: Inhaling it in concentrations of 1 part per thousand can trigger permanent relocation to a mortuary...

2018-09-29 - Arctic heatwave could bring summer temps to Alaska:

http://www.venturabroadcasting.com/arctic-heatwave-could-result-in-summer-like-warmth-in-alaska
http://www.facebook.com/euronews/posts/10156281326713110

Quote: "A high-pressured western ridge has positioned itself near Alaska, allowing record-breaking warmth from the North Pacific to spread over the Arctic. A ridge, in weather terms, is defined as an elongated area of relatively high pressure extending from the center of a high-pressure region. Climate scientist Zack Labe told Euronews this phenomenon could cause temperatures to rise over 10°C above average in some areas of Alaska, making the climate feel equivalent to late-summer. Labe believes this pattern will likely slow the progression of sea ice refreezing in the western Arctic."

The center was monitoring multiple rumblings and tremors. Images on social media showed thin layers of ash coating car windshields in neighborhoods of Mexico City such as Xochimilco."

Note: What an ash hole!

Hey Jonny, Mike, Fran, other fellow "doomsters."

Mike, I hear you on the overload of information which you've already digested and come to terms with (from your comment last evening). It seems that we're marking or noting the mileposts on our way over the cliff at this point. Just skip the stuff you already know! I don't listen to every video, especially if I've already heard it any number of times (like with McPherson), but i'll "check in" every now and then to see if there's anything new or to "keep my hand in it." I like the Black Bear News videos, but often Kevin's reading stuff I posted (and already read). MrMBB333 videos are entertaining too, as are Hambone's, but there's only so many hours in the day and I have stuff I gotta get done (why? we're going extinct! Because we aren't there YET.)

Fran: isn't it great still hearing the crickets, cicadas and tree frogs still making noise?! I dread the day that those sounds disappear. My trees aren't doing too well lately, dropping branches, showing signs of stress and thinning out, but they aren't dead yet, so the birds and squirrels still make use of them. I took my vegetable garden down this past weekend, always a sad day ripping out the spent tomato vines, the pepper plant buried in the weeds by the fence (with a red pepper on it - surprise!), and the beans, squash, watermelon (that some critter ate long ago, so I got nothing out of that one) and gone to seed spinach and kale plants left over from late spring. Ah well, maybe next year . ..

Big day in Hull!

Erosion of a culture – “Once we have cut down all the big trees, part of our punishment will be to live in a world without any big trees”

The high cost of preserving vulnerable beaches – “This is literally a never-ending commitment”
http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/09/the-high-cost-of-preserving-vulnerable.html

As lawmakers consider disaster relief in the wake of Hurricane Florence, projects to rebuild North Carolina’s shrunken shorelines are likely to get a healthy chunk of government money.

To their advocates, these so-called beach nourishment initiatives are crucial steps in buffering valuable oceanfront properties from storm damage and boosting local economies that rely on tourism.

But such projects replenish the same vulnerable areas again and again, and disproportionately benefit wealthy owners of seaside lots.

Moreover, pumping millions of cubic yards of sand onto beaches can cause environmental damage, according to decades of studies. It kills wildlife scooped up from the ocean floor and smothers mole crabs and other creatures where sand is dumped, said Robert Young, a geology professor at Western Carolina University. [more; same with NJ and probably all the way up and down the coasts - unsustainable in the long run, but nobody is thinking further than next year.]

The natural color image from Landsat 8 reveals how soils, sediments, decaying leaves, pollution, and other debris have discolored the water in the swollen rivers, bays, estuaries, and the nearshore ocean. [more]

Study highlights loss and damage in mountain cryosphere caused by [non-existent (according to SOTT)] global warming
http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/09/study-highlights-loss-and-damage-in.html

Few areas of the planet have been more affected by climate change than the mountain cryosphere, where negative impacts like glacier recession far exceed any positives like short-term increases in glacial runoff. These adverse changes make highland environments ideal for examining the policy concept of Loss and Damage (L&D), which deals with the impact of climate change on resources and livelihoods that cannot be offset by adaptation.

It's no bed of rose a state to your northeast either, Fran. Got our share of JJFH stuff plus I have the added bonus of living in Murderopolis just to keep things...uhhh...interesting. Not too worried about sea level rise though, so that's a plus!
