Event Update For 2019-08-24





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.desertsun.com/story/weather/2019/08/24/salton-sea-smell-stench-linger-through-monday/2110248001/

Quote: "An odor advisory that was issued for the Coachella Valley due to elevated levels of hydrogen sulfide wafting up from the Salton Sea -- creating a smell similar to rotten eggs -- was set to expire Saturday after being extended for the second time since it was issued earlier this week, but now is extended through Monday."

2019-08-24 - Toxic blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) hits several bodies of water across coastal New York City (New York):

http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2019/08/24/toxic-algae-bloom-central-park/

Quote: "The green sludge appeared in New Jersey’s largest lake in June, ruining a usually bustling season of lakeside leisure. Then in July, it surfaced across lakes in the Pacific Northwest and along the entire Mississippi seacoast, forcing the closure of the state’s beaches. Now, the green-blue blooms of toxic algae have been found in lakes and ponds in three New York City parks, leading environmental officials to warn residents to keep pets and young children away from the affected water until the blooms clear."

Quote: "In Manhattan, the toxic algae has been found in Turtle Pond and Harlem Meer in Central Park, and in the pond in Morningside Park. Officials also found suspicious blooms in The Lake in Central Park earlier this summer, according to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation website. In Brooklyn, the toxic blooms have been detected in one part of the large pond in Prospect Park. The dedicated swimming area for dogs, the Prospect Park Dog Beach, remains open."

Quote: "An exotic plant has produced male and female cones outdoors in Britain for what is believed to be the first time in 60 million years. Botanists say the event is a sign of global heating."

2019-08-24 - Water poisons 24 people in Raymon (Jordan):

2019-08-24 - Dozens of wallabies found dead on field at Trinity Beach in coastal Cairns (Australia):

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-08-25/more-dead-wallabies/11446288

Quote: "Shai Ager from The Agile Project said the animals had no visible injuries and may have been poisoned, with at least one seen foaming at the mouth. 'We just don't know the cause at the moment,' Ms Ager said."

Note: Less than two weeks ago a cloud of poison gas of unknown origin blew in off the ocean and sickened people at a beach in coastal Worthing (Britain), mentioned in the 2019-08-11 update. Maybe these wallabies got hit by another cloud of poison gas blowing in off the ocean. It's not like there's only going to be one cloud of poison gas blowing in off the ocean. Eventually that'll be happening regularly everywhere...

Quote: "The alarm was raised around 3pm today after the charter vessel, a 108ft yacht which sleeps up to 12, burst into flames."

Quote: "Earlier this month around 100 tourists had to be led to safety after a wildfire behind the same beach in the south-east of the island."

Note: Majorca and Mallorca are both names used for this island, in case there's any confusion. I just happen to prefer Majorca - it's one less letter to type!

    2. "With the aim of converting China into an eco-civilization, the authorities work so that forests cover about a quarter of the country by 2020. And the plans are not going at a bad pace. To date, up to 13 million hectares have been planted with which the forested areas of the Asian giant already cover an area equivalent to the total area of ​​Spain multiplied by four.

      The reforestation, which began to worry and occupy China since the storms that overflowed the Yangtze River in the late 90s and caused hundreds of deaths and substantial material and natural damage, is only one of the legs of a much more ambitious plan , about which has been deepened during the second edition of the assembly of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEA2).

      Titled 'Green is gold: the strategy and actions to China´s ecological civilization' , the plan that was analyzed during the UNEA assembly explains, in its beginning, its Starting point and destination: “Enjoying a beautiful house, a blue sky, a green land and clean water is the dream of any Chinese citizen and, therefore, the center of the Chinese dream (…) To achieve this vision, the government has decided to highlight the concept of eco-civilization and incorporate it into every aspect of the economy, politics, culture and social development of the country . ”"

    Somehow i think the Eastern way of looking at things was supposed to incorporate "tending ones' nest." Of course the reality is that they became an industrial economy and that has pollution, and all the other by-products of an uncaring civilization. Maybe they can turn it around? We'll see who's still standing after the big economic downturn we're going to have - complete with hyper-inflation, woo-hoo! When you have a lot of starving people, things get ugly real fast. It's probably their only option.

    Good find, Mike. Makes me wonder if it'll work when the ecology is already on its way out. Guess it remains to be seen. Hope all those trees make it.

    The Farmers' Almanac released its annual extended forecast for winter 2019-2020.

    The Almanac is predicting a "freezing, frigid, and frosty" winter.

    Soak up the sun while you still can, because it's going to be a very long winter.

    The Farmers' Almanac just released its extended weather forecast and it's predicting a "polar coaster" season this year—which is just as bad as it sounds.

    A sheet of volcanic rock the size of Manhattan is floating toward Australia
    https://www.yahoo.com/news/sheet-volcanic-rock-size-manhattan-163024528.html

    [you could land AIRCRAFT on 'at t'ing!]

    A massive layer of volcanic rock carrying multitudes of sea organisms could soon aid in the recovery of the Great Barrier Reef, which has been "bleached" and permanently damaged by climate change.

    The "raft" was captured by NASA Earth Observatory days after an underwater volcano 130 feet down may have erupted near the island of Tonga. The resulting raft of pumice rock is the size of Manhattan and is floating toward Australia, NASA said.

    Days later, an Australian couple sailing to Vanatu on a catamaran encountered the raft.

    The sheer volume of the mass, made up of "pumice stones from marble to basketball size," blocked their ship. [more]

    A British-run animal shelter in Spain has asked the government to help 3,800 cattle who have run out of food on board a transport ship denied permission to dock in Cartagena.

    The animals on board the AK Julia are “going to die of hunger”, the Easy Horse Rescue Centre (EHRC) said in a statement.

    The young animals were due to stock up on fodder in Cartegena on their way from Brazil to Turkey.

    However, the Easy Horse Rescue centre said representatives of the Talia shipping company contacted them after they were prevented from entering the harbour because of a legal dispute the firm has with a fuel supplier. [more]
