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.

2018-12-21 - Earth has seen CO2 spike before - it didn’t end well:
http://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2018-12-21/lessons-on-global-warming-from-prehistoric-end-permian-extinction
Quote: "During the end-Permian, chemical traces suggest, green sulfur bacteria proliferated, gassing other living things with toxic hydrogen sulfide."
Note: Volcanic eruptions burned up a crapload of oil, gas and coal in the Siberian Traps 250-ish million years ago. That caused huge amounts of CO2 to enter the atmosphere from all the burning of the fossil fuels. The oceans heated up and went anoxic. Then the ancient anaerobic bacteria and archaea that produce hydrogen sulfide went nuts reproducing and poisoned the oceans and the atmosphere, and pretty much everything died. The same thing is happening now, with just one difference: instead of volcanoes burning up tons of oil, gas and coal in one (large) geographic area, this time it's human civilization doing it anywhere and everywhere. But the Earth doesn't care who or what burns the stuff or why it burns - the Earth reacts WHEN it burns.
So we have taken the recipe for extinction from the Permian-Triassic and replaced the volcano ingredient with human civilization. Other that that, everything's the same, although we've probably burned up the oil, gas and coal FASTER than the volcanic eruptions did, so things may be worse this time around. In any case, the human race won't survive the current extinction event, nor will most species that currently exist on this planet. Oxygen-free 'dead zones' are already spreading throughout the oceans. Unexplained rotten egg odors are hitting random areas around the planet - that's hydrogen sulfide. A repeat of the Permian-Triassic extinction event is already well under way...

Late night, dancin' and drinkin' at Kennett Brewing Co. in Kennett Square (PA) with Afro-Bear. Their $10 sangria is packed with fresh fruit and tastes great (I don't like their beer, though many others do). Through the 2 sets (~ 3 hrs. total) the band played at least 3 new songs, did a few covers and jammed a few times (ad-libbing rap lyrics about their chickens in one made up crowd-participation song that included us clucking and sounding like chickens), and completely switched rolls for the last song, where the lead guitar played drums, the drummer played lead, the bass player was on the keys and the singer (all 98 lbs of her) did the bass (which was approximately the same length as her height). Lots of fun here in the end times.

People of all ages are keeling over in the most ordinary of situations, like driving, swimming, and sleeping, while others operating or being aboard vehicles that suddenly go "off-road" or just crash around due to the driver being dead (or in the case of airplanes, experiencing "weird" odors, malfunctioning electrical systems or having engines fail, burst into flames or explode).

A tsunami killed at least 222 people and injured hundreds on the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra following an underwater landslide believed caused by the erupting Anak Krakatau volcano, officials and media said on Sunday.
Hundreds of homes and other buildings were "heavily damaged" when the tsunami struck, almost without warning, along the rim of the Sunda Strait late on Saturday, Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, spokesman for the disaster mitigation agency, said.
Thousands of residents were forced to evacuate to higher ground. By 1040 GMT, the disaster agency had raised the death toll to 222 from 168, with 843 injured and 28 missing. [more; < 2 min. video, 25 pics]

A Christmas provocation against Russia in the Black Sea?
Christmas Surprise? Another US, NATO & Ukraine Planned Provocation Against Russia in Black Sea?
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2018/12/a-christmas-provocation-against-russia.html
NATO’s Casus Belli: Western-backed president Petro Poroshenko inspects his latest shipment of arms from the US.
After the events this past November in Crimea’s Kerch Strait, it became clear that the US-installed Poroshenko government in Ukraine was ready and willing to initiate a staged provocation which might lead to a hot war with Russia – on behalf of Kiev’s benefactors in Washington and Brussels.
Such a planned provocation appears to be outlined in a recent US Senate resolution floated by war hawks in the US Congress, led by Senators Dick Burbin, Chris Murphy, Ben Cardin, Jeanne Shaheen, Jim Inhoffe, Marco Rubio, Chris Coons, John Barrasso, Richard Blumenthal, Jim Risch, Tammy Baldwin, Cindy Hyde-Smith, and Sheldon Whitehouse
Rick Wiles and his team at Tru News reveal the possibility of a Ukrainian and US-led naval confrontation with Russia, allegedly scheduled to happen as early as this Christmas Eve. While pundits may argue over the potential timeline for a staged provocation, the preponderance of evidence suggests that such a move may already be underway. [more]

The three main seabed mineral resources of interest are cobalt-rich crusts, manganese nodules and seafloor massive sulfides. Within continental shelf areas, additional resources include phosphorites, ironsands and diamonds. No commercial deep seabed mining has yet taken place, but Nautilus Minerals and Diamond Fields International have obtained permits to extract minerals in the Bismarck Sea and Red Sea, respectively.
Researchers at the University of Exeter and Greenpeace are now warning that a deep sea “gold rush” for minerals and metals could wind up causing irreversible damage to what are already fragile ocean ecosystems. [more; get outta da way, kid, dere's $ involved]

Marine life worse off inside ‘protected’ areas, analysis reveals

Destructive trawling is more intense inside official marine sanctuaries, while endangered fish are more common outside them, a startling analysis of Europe’s seas has revealed.
It shows that far from conserving sealife, many legal marine protected areas (MPAs) are being damaged by industrial fishing. The work has exposed “the big lie” behind European marine conservation, experts say, with most MPAs completely open to trawling. [more]

The authors said their paper, published in the journal Science, highlights how overstressed and overlapping natural systems are combining to throw up a growing number of unwelcome surprises. [more]

On December 20, 2018, the NSW coast was battered with hail that would easily match a mean cricket ball in a fair fight. Severe storms were reported from the Central Coast down to Kiama in the south, with icy stones up to 8cm in diameter accosting areas like Berowra on the upper North Shore and pelting out to Western Suburbs like Oran Park, Harrington Park and Casula.
Just one day after hailstorms pummelled Sydney and the central coast, it is already the most expensive catastrophe for insurance companies this year. [more; videos of KILLER hail, pics of damage]

Wow, just realized, I used the quote for the quote of the day on the 21st: "We seem to move on a thin crust which may at any moment be rent by the subterranean forces slumbering below." And the next day, a volcano erupted, causing a subsurface landslide and sending that tsunami into Indonesia and killing hundreds of people.
ReplyDeleteIn 2015 I used a quote from the Don Henley song, 'Dirty Laundry', ""We got the bubble headed bleached blonde, comes on at five / She can tell you 'bout the plane crash with a gleam in her eye." I used that quote on March 21, 2015. On March 24, 2015, the Germanwings passenger plane crashed near the coast in France, killing all 150 people aboard.
Use enough quotes and I'm sure stuff like that's bound to happen. Still, kinda freaky. If I ever use a quote of the day that mentions lottery numbers, I'm gonna go buy a ticket!
