Event Update For 2018-10-31





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.

2018-10-31 - Methane seeps growing in the sea floor and spewing increasing amounts of methane in the Arctic:

http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2018/10/russian-scientists-find-new-sources-of.html

Quote: "According to specialists, the new area of methane’s massive emissions from sediments has formed recently, as only a few years earlier, during previous expeditions, that field was not found. Thus, they say, the process proves continuing anomalously quick degradation of the permafrost on the ocean floor. Scientists received another confirmation of the continuing processes as they took pictures of the Podkova (horseshoe) seep field. Seeps are areas where methane bubbles fountain from the seafloor. The field’s diameter has multiplied since the previous studies in 2014."

2018-10-31 - Oakland becomes third California city to declare a climate emergency:
http://www.commondreams.org/newswire/2018/10/31/oakland-declares-climate-emergency
http://www.thebigwobble.org/2018/11/we-are-facing-3-4c-world-and-will.html

Quote: "Some climate scientists estimate that we are now facing up to a 3-4°C world, which could condemn us to an uninhabitable planet."

Note: The 'uninhabitable planet' part is correct. It will be far hotter than that though, and not in some distant century either since the rate of escalation is itself escalating as feedback after feedback kicks in and amplifies the other feedbacks. The planetary momentum involved is already far beyond anything that our flimsy and weak human civilization can do much about other than slightly slow things down, if even that...

When emergency responders arrived, they found the operator of the tractor, 33-year-old Joshua Wooldridge, was deceased. Officials say the preliminary investigation leads them to believe Wooldridge’s death was accidental. No foul play is suspected."

    I'm at school a little early (test day). Interesting stuff going on (in the Chinese curse sense of "interesting")

    [I'm about to finish 1Q84, in which two moons feature prominently. So this was rather surprising]
    'Ghost moons' discovered in orbit around Earth
    http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/ghost-moons-discovered-in-orbit-around-earth/ar-BBPf9hJ

    Astronomers in Hungary say they've detected a pair of what some call "ghost moons" orbiting our planet not far from the moon we all know.



    The hazy clouds of dust — tens of thousands of miles across but too faint to be seen with the naked eye — were first detected almost 60 years ago by a Polish astronomer, Kazimierz Kordylewski. But the patches of light he found were too indistinct to convince some scientists that the clouds were really there, and the existence of the "Kordylewski clouds" has long been a matter of controversy.

    Now the astronomers, Gabor Horvath and Judit Sliz-Balogh of Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, have obtained clear evidence of the clouds using a specially equipped telescope in a private observatory in western Hungary. [more]

    The payment is $211 million less than he expected, but Dewayne Johnson said he'll take it.

    After months of legal drama, the terminally ill cancer patient has agreed to a reduced award of about $78 million from the agrochemical giant Monsanto, a sharp decrease from a jury's $289 million verdict.

    Still, Monsanto's parent company says it will appeal. [more]

  3. Well all right. We're back with the new Pictorial and more coming!


    Quick end-of-the-month stat report on garbage truck fires and JJFH events in Hull, Britain.


    October was a rare month in our record keeping. We had 16 garbage trucks incinerated over 10 days, the best "burn rate" this year, so far.

    In Hull, there were 19 events over 14 days. One day stood out though.

    On October 19th, there were a rare 4 JJFH events in Hull - but ON THE SAME DAY as a super-rare 4 garbage trucks burned! The probability of this happening is so negligible that it boggles the mind.

  4. Always spectacular, Jonny - the riot of colors, the enormity of events,
    your monthly Pictorial is something to behold. I get all choked up (so put down the pipe, first, mmkoi?). Your creativity in hosting a two-panel cartoon every day, along with your main-stay civilization annihilation piece makes you one hard workin' dude, too!

    What I'm especially fond of is the graphics you use. I don't know h0w to do that stuff so I'm impressed. (I gush all over my favorite local musicians too, cause I have zero talent there, also.)

    Lookin' forward to your picks for Spotlight Stories. The 19th of October, Jonny - most unbelievable day of your blog so far, man.

    i'm sure we'll beat it soon, the way things are going.

    Aston Martin’s Valkyrie looks set to melt ice in new photos

    [i'm sure Michael Mann has one on order . . ..]

    Aston Martin took to Instagram to release a trio of official images of its forthcoming Valkyrie hypercar bathed in a graduated, nose-to-tail ice blue color scheme befitting its mythological Nordic name and making it look sleek, fast and aggressive.

    Built from a partnership with Red Bull Racing, the Formula 1-inspired but road-legal car appears to have been further refined since we last saw comprehensive images of a prototype last year. CEO Andy Palmer last month tweeted a 20-second teaser clip to show off the high-revving, F1-like sound of its 6.5-liter V12 engine, which is loosely based on Cosworth's 2.4-liter V8 but rumored to hover above 1,000 horsepower, plus more from a kinetic energy recovery system working the front axle, making it likely the fastest street-legal production car.

    US trade gap grew to $54 billion in September
    https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/us-trade-gap-grew-to-dollar54-billion-in-september/ar-BBPfFbT

    Record imports expanded the U.S. trade deficit for the fourth straight month in September, as the politically sensitive trade deficit in goods with China hit a record.

    The Commerce Department said Friday that the gap between what America sells and what it buys abroad climbed to $54 billion, up 1.3 percent from $53.3 billion in August and the highest level since February.

    Imports climbed 1.5 percent to a record $266.6 billion, led by an influx of telecommunications equipment and clothing. Exports also rose 1.5 percent to $212.6 billion, led by increases in shipments of civilian aircraft and petroleum products. [more]

    "Economists are predicting that average hourly earnings rose 3.1 percent on a year-over-year basis, which would be the highest level since April 2009. Such a move might stoke the inflation fears among the market that have resulted in two significant slides this year."
