Event Update For 2019-04-16

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.

2019-04-16 - Unknown rotten egg odor hits Stockport, Tameside, Salford, Denton, Redding, Droylsden, Bury, Oldham, Gorton, Sale, and Salford Quays (Britain):
http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/smell-gas-greater-manchester-leak-16140951
http://theworldnews.net/gb-news/what-s-that-smell-more-than-300-people-report-odd-stench-to-gas-board-across-stockport-tameside-bury-oldham-and-salford-but-it-remains-a-mystery

Quote: "An odd smell is sweeping across much of Greater Manchester...but nobody knows what it is. Gas board bosses have received more than 300 calls from people in Stockport, Tameside and Salford, complaining of an unpleasant pong. Nobody knows what is causing it. Hundreds of people said they could smell something like 'gas' in places including Denton, Redding, Gorton, Sale and Salford Quays on Tuesday. Engineers attended and carried out safety checks. No problems were found with gas mains."

Note: This area isn't far from the western coast of Britain, the side most likely to have rotten-egg-smelling hydrogen sulfide blow in off the ocean. Obviously, once the concentration reaches 1 part per thousand, the populations of entire cities are going to start dropping dead. It's still possible that Britain will be scoured clean of life by fires before everyone drops dead from poison gas though. Time will tell!

2019-04-16 - Dead zones spreading through the oceans as oxygen levels decline:
http://www.scmp.com/news/asia/australasia/article/2127825/dead-zones-how-our-oceans-are-losing-their-breath
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11973288

Quote: "But the problem stretched far beyond 'dead zones', the authors pointed out, as even smaller oxygen declines could stunt growth in animals, hinder reproduction and lead to disease or even death. It also could trigger the release of dangerous chemicals such as nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas up to 300 times more powerful than carbon dioxide, and toxic hydrogen sulphide."

2019-04-16 - Sea level rise destroying roads and pushing people further inland in Papua New Guinea:

http://www.thenational.com.pg/rising-seas-and-waves-eating-away-road-in-wnb/

Quote: "The Makasili-Vavua road, which provides a vital road link for people living in the Hoskins local level government area of Talesia district in West New Britain, is being threatened by rise in sea level and strong waves. A section of the road, particularly at Makasali village, had gone under the sea along with three others constructed further inland. However, a fifth road was also built further in from the others and is currently providing service to the people. The National visited the area last week and apart from its deteriorating condition and rise in sea level, the road is eventually wearing away. One of the local villagers, Lucas Dito, told The National that the current road was the fifth one that was built far inland after the initial one and three others were all claimed by the sea or had gone under the water."
