Quote: "It weighs 20m tonnes, stretches from west Africa to the Gulf of Mexico, and washes up on beaches creating a malodorous stench. Now scientists say a vast swathe of brown seaweed could be becoming an annual occurrence. Researchers say the explosion in sargassum seaweed first materialised in 2011. But new research shows it has appeared almost every year since then, forming the largest bloom of macroalgae ever recorded. What’s more, the seaweed band – dubbed the Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt – seems to be getting bigger."
Quote: "So far 2019 also looks set for a huge bloom. 'It’s another record year,' said Hu, adding that the frequent recurrence of the Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt raises the possibility that the phenomenon may be the new status quo."
Quote: "Besides a rotten egg smell, 'there can be some pretty serious health risks from exposure to hydrogen sulfide,' said Brian Lapointe, a research professor at Florida Atlantic University's Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute at Fort Pierce."
Quote: "The thick seaweed also releases hydrogen sulfide gas that smells like rotten eggs, which can cause problems for those with respiratory issues."
Note: And when the heavier-than-air hydrogen sulfide concentrates in low-lying areas like ponds, ditches, basements, etc, then it may also cause staying-alive issues for people. They say this bloom weighs 20 million tons. If the bacteria and archaea that produce hydrogen sulfide were to convert just a tenth of that mass into hydrogen sulfide, that'd be 2 million tons of hydrogen sulfide. Efficiently distributed, that'd be way more than enough to kill every human being on the planet. Much will be reacted away though, and it won't be efficiently distributed. But this problem is worsening, so there will be more and more of this goop, and these gigantic algae blooms will eat up oxygen in the oceans, making conditions increasingly hospitable for the bacteria and archaea that produce hydrogen sulfide. It'll take just one decent-sized area in the oceans to heat up and go anoxic to generate enough hydrogen sulfide to exterminate mankind. This could be that area...

Quote: "Residents from two Northwest Alaska villages say they found large numbers of dead mussels and krill washed up along shores in June, contributing to fears in the region that record warm waters may be causing a wide range of unusual wildlife deaths. The discoveries come amid profound changes in the ocean environment in Alaska linked to climate change, including a dramatic early ice melt, warmer water temperatures and record high air temperatures. There has been a string of unusual mortality events this season including deaths of seabirds and seals."
Quote: "George Scanlan, recently retired shellfish specialist for the state, said he’s seen pictures of the rafts of mussels, taken by Oquilluk and others. In 15 years focused on shellfish in Alaska, he’s never seen mussels dying in such large numbers, or heard reports of it, he said."

2019-07-08 - Sargassum seaweed spewing hydrogen sulfide at beaches in Florida, oceanographic researchers say avoid it:
http://cbs12.com/news/local/seaweed-with-hydrogen-sulfide-threatens-south-florida-coast
http://phys.org/news/2019-07-seaweed-influx-florida.html
Quote: "You've seen it at the beach, you've smelled it and now oceanographic researchers say you should avoid it. Rotten seaweed, found along most beaches in South Florida, may emit a chemical that one FAU Harbor Branch research professor says could be toxic. The chemical is hydrogen sulfide, a colorless gas that is associated with the foul odor of rotten eggs. It can cause health problems and even death when excessive amounts are inhaled, consumed or comes into contact with skin. This is shocking news for some beachgoers in South Florida."
Note: Only took 'em a FEW WEEKS to say what I've been saying all along...

Quote: "Something stinks in Liverpool and people want to know what it is. An unpleasant odor has been wafting over the town for the past few weeks, and it’s strong enough that some worry it is chasing the tourists away. 'Smells like rotten eggs,' said Liverpudlian John Townsend."
Quote: "It’s a little like sulfur, and the smell comes and goes as the wind shifts off the water of the Mersey River and Liverpool Bay."
Quote: "'This is not a natural smell,' MacLeod said. 'It is completely different than anyone has ever experienced before.'"
Note: Calm down, people, it's probably just some poison gas blowing in off the coast that nobody can do anything about!

Quote: "More widely, existing research has similarly shown methane and carbon dioxide are being released at a greater rate throughout the region in recent years 'as a result of climate warming,' said Johnston."
Note: Self-reinforcing feedback there. More CO2 and methane released into the atmosphere heats the planet up more, which thaws more tundra, which releases more gases, and so on and so on. This one feedback would probably be plenty enough to exterminate mankind, but this is just one of many...

Quote: "He said that despite accounts of numerous other tourists falling ill — and some dying — over the past year, he wasn’t concerned about making a trip to the Caribbean country, news station WDIV reported. 'I’m watching and I’m like that wasn’t in Puerto Plata — that was in Santiago, Santo Domingo,' Jones said.
Quote: "But during his nine-day trip, Jones fell ill and the symptoms didn’t subside when he returned home, according to WDIV. Soon, he was unable to walk and 'only saw a black darkness.' 'I would get up and just fall,' he said. Jones was rushed last month to Harper Hospital in Detroit, where he spent four days in the intensive care unit. Doctors were unable to determine the cause of the mystery illness, but attributed it to his trip."

http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/seaweed-fumes-blamed-for-death-of-farm-labourer-in-brittany-55d6dxnv9
Quote: "The danger of toxic green sea algae naturally found on the Breton coast has come into renewed question after an 18-year-old oyster farmer died suddenly on a beach. The farmer's body was found in the Bay of Morlaix (Finistere) on July 6. He is suspected to have died from inhalation of toxic gases released by the green algae in the surrounding area."
Quote: "The environmental groups Safeguard Trégor and Stop Green Algae believe he was poisoned by hydrogen sulphide given off by the rotting seaweed."
Quote: "In 2016, a man died suddenly while out jogging on the Hillion coast, again in Côtes-d’Armor. A link with green algae was suspected a further time. However, an autopsy revealed no definite conclusions, with the inquiry closing the case in April 2017."
Note: The algae dies and is eaten by ancient anaerobic bacteria and archaea that emit hydrogen sulfide. This is the same thing happening at beaches in Mexico, Florida and across the Caribbean, including the Dominican Republic where numerous people have dropped dead at beachside resorts and some of them reported a strange chemical odor. Since the algae problem is getting worse around the world, and since the algae serves as food for the ancient microbes that emit hydrogen sulfide, the hydrogen sulfide problem is also getting worse around the world. And as bad as these problems are already, they're going to get much worse. The human race won't be around long enough to see how bad things ultimately get though, because we'll all be dead long before that. In any case, if you smell a strange odor near any body of water, especially one having algae problems, you may be about to die. You can't really count on your sense of smell to protect you either, because one breath of hydrogen sulfide can kill you, so if you do smell it, it may already be too late. If it's in the water itself, you may not smell it at all, but if you douse your head with that water then THAT may kill you, and they'll find you dead and 'unresponsive in the water' as the 'official' terminology often reads these days...

Quote: "Farmers said that an unidentified disease has affected vegetable cultivations in both the Northcentral and Central Provinces and that the cultivations are being destroyed. Due to this disease, in the Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa Districts of the Northcentral Province and the Matale District of the Central Province especially, a large area of cultivations have been destroyed and the farmer said they are in dire straits economically. The farmers said that there are various characteristics of this disease affecting the cultivations. The destruction can be seen largely in Dewahuwa, Watagala, Kalawewa, Dambulu Halmillewa, Habaraththawala, Budugehinna, Galnewa, Narula, Laggala and Habarana areas. This disease has affected many vegetables including, pumpkin, kekiri, cucumber, watermelon, winged beans, bitter gourd, beans, long beans, etc. In addition, it is possible to see that paddy too has been affected."
Note: They don't know it's a disease, and it's unlikely that any disease would affect so many different species. If it IS a disease then this is a serious planetary-scale food security threat. Sri Lanka is one of the places where people are mysteriously dying off in large numbers and at young ages due to kidney failure...

2019-07-12 - Oceans heading toward carbon dioxide saturation and tipping point leading to planetary extinction:
http://www.commondreams.org/news/2019/07/09/completely-terrifying-study-warns-carbon-saturated-oceans-headed-toward-tipping
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2019/07/carbon-saturated-oceans-headed-toward.html
Quote: "The continuous accumulation of carbon dioxide in the planet's oceans—which shows no sign of stopping due to humanity's relentless consumption of fossil fuels—is likely to trigger a chemical reaction in Earth's carbon cycle similar to those which happened just before mass extinction events, according to a new study. MIT geophysics professor Daniel Rothman released new data on Monday showing that carbon levels today could be fast approaching a tipping point threshold that could trigger extreme ocean acidification similar to the kind that contributed to the Permian–Triassic mass extinction that occurred about 250 million years ago."
Note: In all of the major extinction events, even the one that killed the dinosaurs, markers for hydrogen sulfide have been found. This carbon dioxide saturation must be part of the process that results in the oceans going (even more) anoxic and pluming hydrogen sulfide. Obviously it wasn't carbon dioxide saturation of the oceans that killed off all the life in the Permian–Triassic, because 70% of LAND species were also wiped out. That was from hydrogen sulfide that spewed from the oceans and probably also from fires, oxygen loss, starvation, heat and UV burn. In any case, a repeat of the Permian–Triassic extinction event IS what is happening now, so we should expect the same bottom-line consequence: the die-off of most species on this planet, and certainly our own, since we're THE most vulnerable species in terms of facing an extinction event like this due to our slow reproductive capability and high oxygen requirements...

Quote: "'This emergency mobilization of ordinary citizens, driven to action by the threat of climate breakdown and ecological collapse, will demand the government take immediate action to halt biodiversity loss and reduce greenhouse gases to net zero by 2025,' the group said."
Note: They wouldn't like what would happen if we DID (somehow) reduce greenhouse gases to net zero by 2025. That'd mean the loss of the protection we are currently enjoying from global dimming and then temps would immediately spike significantly, resulting in rapid and dramatic escalation of any number of climate feedbacks that would wipe us out even quicker than if we simply kept polluting. Continuing our polluting will ALSO wipe us out, of course, just slower. I admire their gumption and courage and conviction, but they still think we can 'fix things' and have no idea just how thoroughly doomed we actually are...

2019-07-16 - Ponds suddenly turn pink at Cane Garden and Josiah’s Bay on the island of Tortola (British Virgin Islands):
http://bvinews.com/algae-bacteria-turns-local-ponds-pink-residents-warned-against-making-contact/
Note: They say that's caused by blue-green algae, but I gotta say, that looks EXACTLY like the pig poop lagoons in the Carolinas. Those are the same shade of pink and they are that color because of purple sulfur bacteria, which eat hydrogen sulfide and only exist in fluids containing hydrogen sulfide. The British Virgin Islands are located in the Caribbean, which has been getting hit by massive rafts of sargassum algae, which spew hydrogen sulfide as the algae dies and decomposes. Whatever anyone says is the cause, I'd avoid any water that looks like Pepto Bismol…

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/nasa-video-shows-giant-ufo-18335381
Note: Maybe that IS a planet - it's the right size, it's the right shape, and it's obviously massive since that huge solar flare didn't even budge it. If something looks like a planet and acts like a planet then in the vast majority of cases it's a planet. And if it is then we might see an uptick in seismic activity like, say, California being shaken by the biggest quake in decades. This isn't the first planetary-sized object to zip by the Sun in recent years. A much bigger one came by in 2011, also very close to the Sun, and it was thoroughly enveloped by a gigantic flare. That one was very near the Sun about two months after the gigantic Fukushima earthquake, so it may have been in the vicinity of the Earth around the time of the Fukushima quake as it was inbound...

Quote: "Deep-sea explorers investigating a spot 39 miles off North Carolina’s Outer Banks say they encountered a surreal stretch of seafloor filled with geyser-like bubble plumes, some of them 'continuous and others turning off and on over periods of less than a minute.' In some spots, the bubble plumes are plentiful enough to resemble florescent lace curtains in the glow of a camera deployed by NOAA Ocean Exploration and Research. Adding to the spectacle: The bubbles rise amid 'dense' beds of mussels that are seen in a video stretching as far as the camera lens could penetrate. The bubbles are methane gas, seeping constantly from the ocean floor off Bodie Island, at a depth of about 1,300 feet, according to a report by the NOAA-backed team."

Alcohol or drugs are not suspected to have been involved in the incident, which is still being investigated by the CHP Barstow office."

Quote: "In the middle of the wheat fields, blackened for miles, the carbonized carcass of a tractor. 'There were so many flames at the beginning … I could not see if anyone was inside,' says William, in shock. His friend, a 65-year-old farmer who was harvesting his field between Blicourt and Luchy, in northwestern Oise, died in the flames on Tuesday afternoon. 'He was a cautious person,' said the retiree. 'He had to make a malaise, it is not possible otherwise.' An investigation was opened by the prosecutor's office of Beauvais which, like the gendarmerie, favors the accidental thesis. The sexagenarian would have lost consciousness, then the tractor would have advanced several meters before firing for reasons that remain unknown."

2019-07-24 - Unknown rotten egg odor hits campus in coastal Coral Gables (Florida):
http://www.local10.com/news/florida/coral-gables/building-on-um-campus-evacuated-due-to-suspicious-odor
http://wsvn.com/news/local/all-clear-given-after-suspicious-smell-at-um-building-found-to-be-benign/
Quote: "Police have confirmed the smell was not a gas leak but did not release further details."
Note: By 'benign' they mean, 'we don't know what it was but it smelled like the odorant added to natural gas even though it wasn't natural gas'. So not really benign. In fact, that was probably hydrogen sulfide blowing in off the ocean, which is poison gas. I don't consider poison gas to be 'benign', but that's just me...
2019-07-24 - Unknown odor sickens people at miniature golf course in coastal Parksville (Canada):

Quote: "He thought they were joking at first, but it still looked like they were in trouble, so he headed towards the little girl to try and help her. 'As soon as I took like two steps, it started affecting me… the first thing that crossed my mind was "These guys are not lying, there’s something in the air"', said Anderson. 'I turned around, I was looking at my kids, and my kids are starting to cough and choke and act funny. My littlest one, she was starting to barf...I was just like "man, we have to get out of here."'"
Quote: "Anderson has no idea what it was, but said the sensation was palpable and overwhelming. Every time he went to breathe, he couldn’t, and would start coughing."
Quote: "Paradise Mini Golf owner Susan LaFouci was there and said she smelled it as well. Although Anderson describes it as an odourless gas, LaFouci says she smelled something she can’t describe. 'It wasn’t very nice. It took your breath away,' said LaFouci."
Note: Could be that man didn't smell it because it had already paralyzed his olfactory sense - hydrogen sulfide does that. You stop being ABLE to smell it, even when it's still present. And the woman did smell it, so maybe it hadn't yet paralyzed HER olfactory sense. Right on the coast, people suddenly sickening with respiratory issues, outdoors, unknown smell...probably hydrogen sulfide blowing in off the ocean. All of these people are lucky to still be alive. At 1 part per thousand, hydrogen sulfide can kill you with ONE BREATH, so obviously it wasn't THAT concentrated in this incident, but next time it might be. An unknown odor just sickened people at a mall the day before in coastal Honolulu (Hawaii), mentioned in the 2019-07-23 update.

http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/The-Invasion-of-Sargassum-Seaweed-Covering-Floridas-Beaches-513258771.html
Quote: "Tourists to the Caribbean may not realize that a brown drifting seaweed that’s been piling up on beaches in recent years is dangerous, researchers say. Travelers and doctors alike should be aware that prolonged contact with the Sargassum weed, or inhaling the hydrogen sulfide gas it gives off as it decomposes on the beach, can cause heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, vertigo, headache and skin rashes, the authors write in the Journal of Travel Medicine."
Note: They forgot to mention memory loss, kidney damage, brain damage, comas, seizures and death. And it's not just a danger in the Caribbean, nor is it just a threat from that particular kind of algae. Any kind of rotting algae anywhere produces hydrogen sulfide, so it's also a problem in Florida and Mexico, at least, both of which are having their beaches blanketed by rotting sargassum algae, and France is now getting hit bad by rotting algae too, although it's not sargassum algae there...

2019-07-26 - Greenland's ice sheet is experiencing accelerated melting at the base from anomalously high geothermal heat:
http://climatechangedispatch.com/studies-geothermal-heat-greenland/
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2019/07/geothermal-heat-is-melting-greenland.html
Quote: "Yet another major research study, five if you’re counting, has concluded that accelerated melting at the base of Greenland’s glacial ice sheet is from anomalously high geothermal heat."
Note: There's not a thing we can do about heat from BELOW. Heat from the Sun being absorbed by an increasingly heat-absorbent atmosphere - we can do something about that. We aren't, but at least we COULD. Heat from below though - there's no solution at all for that. And that factors into all the other feedbacks too. The loss of ice is part of the albedo-loss feedback, for example, so when the heating from below adds to the ice melt, then the albedo-loss feedback gets amplified, which then amplifies the heat-absorption feedback, which amplifies the methane-expulsion feedback, and on and on it goes, like a runaway train...

Quote: "The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet, and after the hottest June ever recorded on Earth, the region is literally on fire. From Greenland to Siberia to Alaska, huge swathes of flame and smoke are wrapping themselves around the upper Northern Hemisphere of our planet, like a suffocating scarf."
Quote: "Since the start of June, more than 100 wildfires have sparked and burned in the Arctic circle. In Russia alone, 11 out of 49 regions are currently engulfed in flame."
Quote: "The amount of CO2 (carbon dioxide) emitted from Arctic Circle fires in June 2019 is larger than all of the CO2 released from Arctic Circle fires in the same month from 2010 through to 2018 put together."
Note: That's another feedback, the world-on-fire feedback. The more the world burns, the more CO2 that gets released into the atmosphere, which warms the planet up more, which makes the world burn more. Extrapolate just that one feedback out into the future and you end up with a world that is nothing but charred wasteland. But it'll be worse than that when you add in oxygen loss, poison gas blowing around, starvation from biosphere loss, randomly poisoned water supplies, lethal UV levels, radiation from all the nuclear plants once they melt down, etc, etc. Everything on the surface of the planet being incinerated will certainly be a big problem all by itself though...

Quote: "While much of France is experiencing a historic heatwave, the country's most prestigious cycling event was stopped Friday due to a freak hail and snowstorm. Stage 19 of the Tour de France was neutralized Friday when hail, snow and ice-covered the course at the Col d'Iseran, a mountain pass located more than 9,000 feet above sea level. Tour organizers cited slick and flooded conditions, saying the riders could not complete the course safely. There are some reports of landslides in the area."

Quote: "The typically idyllic white sandy shores and aquamarine waters of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula are being plagued by an unwelcome and unappealing invasion of rotting seaweed, called sargassum. For a number of years the foul-smelling algae has been washing up on the shores of Cancun, Playa Del Carmen and Tulum in increasing quantities, turning the water brown and blanketing beaches with a brown sludge. The thick macroalgae also brings with it a pungent ‘rotten egg’ stench as it decays in the hot summer sun. But this year has ranked among the worst for the region with officials warning that a floating island of the seaweed the size of Jamaica is bobbing a short distance away from the shore."

Quote: "More than 30,000 square kilometres of Russian territory are currently burning, already about as much as in 2018 and twice as much as in 2017. This has created a 4.5 million square kilometre 'smoke lid' that reaches as far east as the Pacific Ocean and as far south as Kazakhstan."
Quote: "The Copernicus satellite system has observed an average of 50 to 60 Arctic hotspots on summer days since it began monitoring in 2003. This summer it has been seeing about 250 per day. And while in the past Arctic blazes would typically go out in a few days, the duration of this year's fires, many of which of have been burning for nearly two months, is shocking, Mr Parrington said."
Quote: "The long-term effects could be dire. Already in June, fires began to deposit soot known as 'black carbon' on Arctic sea ice, accelerating its melt."
Quote: "Europe’s historic heat wave is heading north this weekend, to the relief of the continent, but its path will send it right towards the Arctic — where it could speed up the melting of sea ice and coincide with devastating wildfires."

Quote: "An area of 3.2 million hectares (7.9 million acres) was engulfed by forest fires in remote regions of Russia on Monday. In comparison, the total surface of the nation of Belgium is 3.07 million hectares. With fires raging for days, immense clouds of smoke reached large population centers, including Russia's third biggest city, Novosibirsk. Authorities declared emergencies in several regions. 'The smoke is horrible,' pensioner Raisa Brovkina told state television after being hospitalized in Novosibirsk. 'I am choking and dizzy,' she added."
Quote: "Russia on Monday declared a state of emergency in two regions of Siberia as wildfires rage across 12,000 square miles of countryside. Terrified residents in the Krasnoyarsk and Irkutsk regions called on the state to act as flames engulfed an area the size of Belgium."
Quote: "Greenpeace expert Grigory Kuksin said the soot and ashes accelerate the melting of the Arctic ice and permafrost, which in turns releases even more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. 'It is comparable to the emissions of major cities,' he told the AFP news agency. 'The more fires affect the climate, the more conditions are created for new dangerous fires.'"

And have they given warnings to the workers that that rotten egg smell is poison gas and nobody knows what it does to human beings who breathe it regularly even in small concentrations? I'm guessing the workers will not be told much, if anything...

Note: Didn't smell it, but then again, I'm 7 miles from the riverfront, and in a relatively high area altitude-wise, which in Missouri means 'a small hill'. But I have smelled rotten egg odor from time to time in my neighborhood too, and twice I've also smelled the sickly sweet stench of a non-trivial concentration of hydrogen sulfide.
