Event Update For 2019-08-08
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.

2019-08-08 - Alaska records warmest month ever in July with coastline barren of sea ice:
http://www.yahoo.com/news/alaska-records-warmest-month-ever-060009346.html
Quote: "This heat, 5.4F warmer than the long-term average for July, helped spur wildfires that shrouded much of Alaska in a pall of smoke and has now resulted in a remarkable melting away of shoreline ice. There is now no sea ice within 150 miles of Alaskan shores, according to an analysis by the National Weather Service. The pace of ice loss is 'unprecedented' in 40 years of satellite records, scientists said, with the Bering Sea, which separates Alaska from Russia, left completely ice-free."

Oh man, Jonny - how many of these multiple JJFH events at roughly the same time do we need to establish its veracity? What other explanation IS there? No man, you're on to something that can't be denied.
ReplyDeleteIrony abounds, as a scientist studying the resilience of marine organisms to climate change DIES while diving conducting his research into our now TOXIC oceans. Can't report that! Case closed.

EPA won't approve warning labels for Roundup chemical
https://www.yahoo.com/news/epa-wont-approve-warning-labels-185901197.html
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency disagrees, saying its research shows the chemical poses no risks to public health [even though it is established FACT]. California has not enforced the warning label for glyphosate because Monsanto, the company that makes Roundup, sued and a federal judge temporarily blocked the warning labels last year until the lawsuit could be resolved.
"It is irresponsible to require labels on products that are inaccurate when EPA knows the product does not pose a cancer risk," EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler said in a statement. "We will not allow California's flawed program to dictate federal policy." [more; here, judge - let's put it in your garden so you can experience the wonder of glyphosate for yourself]
