Event Update For 2019-02-18
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.

http://www.nj.com/hudson/2019/02/kearny-mayor-says-nasty-smell-at-town-landfill-could-pose-health-risks.html
Quote: "Kearny Mayor Al Santos is calling on the state to temporarily close the Keegan Landfill after smelly air samples recently collected from the facility revealed levels of hydrogen sulfide that he says could impact the health of residents."
Quote: "Santos said in the last few months residents have logged more than 200 complaints of a sulfurous 'rotten eggs' smell coming from 100-plus-acre landfill owned by the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority."
2019-02-18 - Hydrogen sulfide blowing around in coastal Kuwait:
http://www.arabtimesonline.com/news/kuwaiti-environment-exposed-to-high-levels-of-pollution/
Quote: "The sources noted the spread of unpleasant odors due to the presence of different levels of concentration of hydrogen sulfide gas above the minimum permissible concentration that gives a sense of the smell caused by this gas (0.5 part of the billion)."
2019-02-18 - Global warming causing earlier spring rains in the Arctic, which causes increased methane emissions, which causes more warming:

http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2019/02/arctic-rain-yet-another-positive.html
Quote: "Researchers who monitored one bog for three years in the Alaskan permafrost have identified yet another instance of what engineers call positive feedback. They found that global warming meant earlier springs and with that, earlier spring rains. And as a consequence, the influx of warm water on what had previously been frozen ground triggered a biological frenzy that sent methane emissions soaring."
Note: That right there is an unstoppable self-reinforcing feedback which does not end well for life on Earth...

Note: Huh, well, you can't shoot away clouds of poison gas, and this place is on the surface, so it will be destroyed by fires and explosions, and you can't shoot those away either. I guess they can still use the guns to blow their own brains out when they realize that they didn't prepare AT ALL for the actual doom that they'll be facing. Always look on the bright side of life! *cue Monty Python whistling*

As Yellowstone Awakens, Dr. Michio Kaku Warns That It Could “Literally Tear The Guts Out Of The United States Of America”
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/as-yellowstone-awakens-dr-michio-kaku-warns-that-it-could-literally-tear-the-guts-out-of-the-united-states-of-america
One day it will happen. Scientists assure us that one day the absolutely massive Yellowstone supervolcano will once again experience a Category 8 eruption, and if it happened today it would “literally tear the guts out of the United States of America”. That is why what has been happening at Yellowstone in recent months is so alarming. We know that the ground has been rising and that “a 465-mile-long piece of molten rock” is moving upwards directly under Yellowstone. And we also know that the major geysers at Yellowstone were more active last year than in any other year in any of our lifetimes. Are these signs that an eruption is coming? We better hope not, because as Dr. Michio Kaku recently told Fox News, there is “a sleeping Godzilla underneath Yellowstone”… [more]

Sea ice on the east coast of Novaya Zemlya
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2019/02/obserations-of-sea-ice-on-east-cast-of.html
If I [Robin Westenra] was to make some quick observations it would be the following:
Prior to 2012 this part of the Kara Sea was fully-frozen
Since 2012 it has been largely ice-free at this time of year.
This year, although the ice is breaking up and is of poor quality conditions are colder than they have been in previous years
Despite all of this it is abundantly clear that methane is coming to the surface. You can see it and it has to come from somewhere. [more; Margo explained this post in her update]

The Dumb Money Bubble Is Ending
http://ponziworld.blogspot.com/2019/02/the-dumb-money-bubble-is-ending.html
I've said many times recently that serial central bank bailouts are a disaster wanting to happen. Here we stand on the brink of yet another deflationary downturn and global gamblers have been led to believe that all they need to do is front-run central banks into risk assets. Which is why this iteration is going to be a lesson in how capital risk markets "work". Because what gamblers seem to not understand is that when "everyone" expects something to happen, it can't happen, at least from a speculative standpoint.
2018 should have been the most recent wake up call for people doing dumb things with leveraged money. Two major volatility spikes. Ignored. $13 trillion in global market losses which was half the value lost in 2008.
And yet a mere down payment on what is coming [more]

Florida inmates use criminal skills to rescue baby from car
ReplyDeletehttps://www.yahoo.com/news/florida-inmates-criminal-skills-rescue-200925749.html
A group of prisoners in Florida put their criminal skills to good use on Valentine’s Day – breaking into a car, to free a baby locked inside.
The prisoners, on work-release, were repairing parking meters in Pasco County, north of Tampa, when they spotted the family in distress.
The one-year-old child was trapped inside the car, with the keys inside. The family was unable to afford a locksmith and so, in the 56 degree Fahrenheit heat, the father was preparing to break the window.
That is when the prisoners, in their black and white uniforms, offered to help, and worked in a team to pry open the front door just enough for one inmate to use a coat hanger to push a button that unlocked the 4x4’s door.
Another person in the video, filmed by the baby’s mother Shadow Lantry, can be heard commenting on the "hilarious situation," with police watching the crew unlock the car.
The whole endeavour took about two minutes, and ended with the group cheering. [more]

As expected, the impressive cyclone we discussed yesterday has gone through an incredibly rapid intensification and deepened below 940 mbar this morning. A very deep cyclone (a "weather bomb") is moving across the north Atlantic and is expected to pass just west of Iceland tomorrow before it hits south Greenland overnight to Friday.
The pressure change was an incredibly impressive 51 mbar within only 19 hours - from 1003 mbar to 952 mbar! [more]
