Event Update For 2019-09-12
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.

2019-09-12 - Number of wildfires burning jumps sharply in Indonesia, smog spreads across Southeast Asia:

http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2019/09/12/indonesia-forest-fires-surge-stoking-global-warming-fears-.html
http://phys.org/news/2019-09-indonesia-forest-surge-stoking-global.html
Quote: "The number of blazes in Indonesia's rainforests has jumped sharply, satellite data showed Thursday, spreading smog across Southeast Asia and adding to concerns about the impact of increasing wildfire outbreaks worldwide on global warming."
Quote: "In hard-hit Riau province on Sumatra, firefighters were battling round the clock through charred forests as they sought to extinguish blazes belching thick white smog, AFP reporters said. Provincial capital Pekanbaru was blanketed in dense smoke, leaving the sky dark even at midday. Residents sought to go about their daily lives as usual, with many wearing only rudimentary face masks."
Note: The huge wildfires burning around the world are themselves a self-reinforcing feedback. More fires produce more CO2, which makes things hotter, which results in more fires, and on and on, a runaway chain reaction that ends with the surface of the Earth becoming a charred landscape...

http://time.com/5676643/airlines-carbon-emissions-growing/
http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/report-says-airlines-carbon-emissions-are-growing-fast
Note: Is this a problem or a solution? It means we'll all die sooner, that's true, but then human carbon emissions will drop to zero. It's the 'Fly More Die More' strategy for carbon emissions reduction. It's like curing heroin addiction by administering a fatal dose of heroin. Tada, addiction cured!

Simply amazing, the rate of change of destruction - and Trump helping out in a major way! Yeah, i'm startin'-a think we might have about 3 years left at this rate (which is increasing).
ReplyDeleteAll we need now is economic collapse (which we're on the verge of, according to articles posted here), maybe an enormous earthquake or super-volcanic eruption here in the states, or grid failure, and that's all she wrote!
People are going to be acting ever more erratically as things wind down too, with more suicides, more mass shootings, more 'zombie' behavior each year until it all turns to shit.

‘National tragedy’: Trump begins border wall construction in Unesco reserve
ReplyDeletehttp://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2019/09/13/national-tragedy-trump-begins-border-wall-construction-in-unesco-reserve/
Construction of a 30ft-high section of Donald Trump’s border barrier has begun in the Organ Pipe Cactus national monument in southern Arizona, a federally protected wilderness area and Unesco-recognized international biosphere reserve.
“What is being proposed is bulldozing one of the most biologically diverse regions of the entire United States,” said Amanda Munro of the Southwest Environmental Center. “Walling off these precious places would be a colossal mistake and a national tragedy.” [more]

Climate change: Electrical industry’s ‘dirty secret’ boosts warming
http://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2019/09/13/climate-change-electrical-industrys-dirty-secret-boosts-warming/
It’s the most powerful greenhouse gas known to humanity, and emissions have risen rapidly in recent years, the BBC has learned.
Sulphur hexafluoride, or SF6, is widely used in the electrical industry to prevent short circuits and accidents.
But leaks of the little-known gas in the UK and the rest of the EU in 2017 were the equivalent of putting an extra 1.3 million cars on the road.
Levels are rising as an unintended consequence of the green energy boom.
the significant downside to using the gas is that it has the highest global warming potential of any known substance. It is 23,500 times more warming than carbon dioxide (CO2). It also persists in the atmosphere for a long time, warming the Earth for at least 1,000 years. [more]

Lawmakers in both houses of Congress were scrambling this week to try to block oil and gas drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, as the clock ticks toward the government's first fossil fuel lease sale in an area considered one of the nation's last truly wild places.
On Thursday, the House passed a bill that would prohibit the lease sale. A day earlier, Democrats in the Senate introduced legislation that would put the refuge off limits for development. [more]

ReplyDeleteGlobal temperatures since the Industrial Revolution
Global post-industrial revolution temperatures
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2019/09/global-post-industrial-revolution.html [Joe Neubarth]
If you look there is something else other than the precipitous increase in global temperatures.
Notice how temperatures decreased in the 1940's and didn't come back until the 1980's
This is consistent with the assertion by GeoEngineering Watch.org that geoengineering began in the 1940's.
It seems to have suppressed the increase in global temperatures for a while [more; but made them WORSE later!]
