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.

2019-06-19 - Car bursts into flame and burns man to death on highway in coastal Mumbai (India):
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/navi-mumbai/thane-man-dies-as-car-goes-up-in-flames/articleshow/69866774.cms
Quote: "A Thane businessman was charred to death after his car caught fire on the Mumbai-Goa highway and then exploded on Wednesday morning. The hatchback is suspected to have caught fire due to a short circuit, said the police."
Quote: "Khed police inspector Suvarna Patki said, 'Kamble was driving alone. As soon as a short-circuit led to a fire, the car's doors locked due to the centralised lock system and Kamble was trapped. The vehicle exploded and he was charred to death inside.'"
Note: I've warned about that problem any number of times. Clearly he didn't get the memo!
2019-06-19 - Unknown odor hits Bristol (Britain), near the coast:

Quote: "This is not the first time a mystery smell has plagued residents. In August last year residents in Emersons Green reported a mysterious sewage odour and in July people living in Avonmouth and Shirehampton reported a similar smell that was believed to have been a result of the hot weather."

2019-06-19 - Toxic blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) hits the Macintyre River from Toomelah to Goondiwindi (Australia):
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/database/index.php?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=BH-20190619-68376-AUS
Quote: "People are advised to avoid direct contact with the water along the Macintyre River from Toomelah to Goondiwindi, after a red alert warning for toxic blue-green algae was issued. WaterNSW issued the red alert for the Macintyre River at Boggabilla, Toomelah and Goondiwindi on Wednesday afternoon."
Note: Cyanobacteria seem to be thriving as the planet heats up. The ancient anaerobic archaea and bacteria that produce hydrogen sulfide are surely doing quite well in the oceans too, as the oceans heat up and lose oxygen and the dead zones continue to spread. These are ancient kinds of life that are awakening as the planet reverts to its more primordial anoxic hothouse state, and most of these ancient microbes are very hostile to human life...

The move is in response to several years marked by thick smoke hanging over the city from summer wildfires, which officials and scientists have unequivocally connected to the slow-motion of the effects of climate change."

As the reports of a dramatically slowing economy increase the DJIA just goes up and up and up.
ReplyDeleteActually Harry Dent seems to be the only one who is forecasting the markets and economy correctly. Months ago he said the DJIA will get very close to 30,000 and may even top it by this fall. Looks like this is happening. Of course it will cause euphoria and more people will jump in just as it takes a huge crap. Then we go into the deepest depression in the history of mankind. Sorry Trump, the timing couldn't be worse for you. Bwahaha...
Of course Dent goes on to forecast what happens on the other side of the historic depression. That's where he is off track. He doesn't know that everyone will be too dead to invest soon.

ReplyDeleteSorry for the late start. i was unavoidably detained.
ReplyDeleteThanks for another installment of the way things are - the TRUTH of our continuing slide toward extinction, Jonny. As we can see, looking at the pattern of events both here in this report and the long list of previous days, people are being subjected to noxious gases in the atmosphere and water that incapacitate them, fires erupt when these gases contact anything electrical or with certain metals (even RUST), and these gases also cause damage to infrastructure (causing concrete to disintegrate over time, for example). Secondly, we're being overwhelmed by natural events, ie. rainstorms are much more potent, winds are wreaking havoc, and the resultant landslides occur more frequently. Now that we can't keep up, all damage done by hurricanes, earthquakes and the like probably won't be completely "cleaned up" before another round does even more destruction.

ReplyDeleteSoldiers Without Guns
https://washingtonsblog.com/2019/06/soldiers-without-guns.html
A peace keeping contingent of soldiers, men and women, actually properly named “peace keeping,” led by New Zealand and including Australians, traveled to Bougainville, and brought no guns with them. Had they brought guns, they would have fueled the violence. Instead, with Papua New Guinea offering amnesty to all fighters, the peace keepers brought musical instruments, games, respect, and humility. They did not take charge. They facilitated a peace process controlled by Bougainvilleans. They met people on foot and in their own language. They shared Maori culture. They learned Bougainvillean culture. They actually helped people. They literally built bridges. These were soldiers, the only ones I can think of throughout all human history, whom I’d actually like to “thank for their service.” And I include in that their leaders, who — remarkably to someone used to seeing people like John Bolton and Mike Pompeo on TV — were legitimately not blood-thirsty sociopaths. Also remarkable in the story of Bougainville is the lack of involvement by the United States or the United Nations. How many other parts of the world might benefit from such lack of involvement?

Refugees at “the highest level” seen by UN agency in its nearly 70-year existence – Record displacement shows “we’re almost unable to make peace”
https://desdemonadespair.net/2019/06/refugees-at-the-highest-level-seen-by-un-agency-in-its-nearly-70-year-existence-record-displacement-shows-were-almost-unable-to-make-peace.html
A record 70.8 million people fled war, persecution and conflict in 2018, UN refugee agency chief Filippo Grandi said on Wednesday, appealing for greater international solidarity to counter the fact that “we have become almost unable to make peace”.
Unveiling new data indicating that global displacement numbers are at “the highest level” that the UN refugee agency, UNHCR, has seen in its almost 70-year existence, Mr. Grandi noted that these were “conservative” estimates.
Of 41.3 million internally displaced people in 2018 – at a rate of 37,000 a day –some 13.6 million were newly displaced last year.
This included nearly 11 million individuals who were uprooted inside their country and 2.8 million new refugees and asylum-seekers, UNHCR’s data shows, as well as the fact that while richer countries hosted 16 per cent of refugees in 2018, least developed nations sheltered one in three. [more]
