2019-09-01 - People get dizzy and lightheaded from unknown cause at 2:06 AM at property on Princess Street in Knutsford (Britain), 900 feet from moor:
http://www.cheshirefire.gov.uk/news-events/incidents/reports-of-people-feeling-dizzy-and-lightheaded-in-knutsford
Quote: "Shortly after 2am firefighters were called to reports that a number of members of staff at a premises in Knutsford were feeling dizzy and lightheaded. On arrival crews found that the premises had been evacuated and all occupants were safe and well. Two firefighters, wearing breathing apparatus, searched the premises using a gas monitor to see if there were any gas leaks. As they moved around the building they also opened all of the windows and doors to help ventilate the property. Following a thorough search of the premises they were unable to find any trace of a gas leak."

Quote: "'We were fixing the CCTV on the rooftop of the resort. Then we heard the sound of a plane in distress, like it was having engine trouble,' he narrated. 'We watched it for a few minutes with the pilot seemingly trying to regain control of the aircraft. After that, there was an explosion on the side of the plane and parts flew off it,' Capuchino added. It was at that point that Capuchino said he took out his mobile phone and started shooting the video of the plane going down in smoke."

Quote: "The Hurricane Center said Dorian's maximum sustained winds stood Sunday at a monstrous 185 mph (295 kph), with higher gusts. Dorian is located about 185 miles (295 kilometers) east of West Palm Beach, Florida."
Quote: "Hurricane Dorian could potentially bring storm surge flooding to Florida's Atlantic coastal communities at the same time as the area is experiencing king tides, periodic extreme high tides."
Quote: "Earlier Sunday, Dorian’s maximum sustained winds reached 185 mph (297 kph), with gusts up to 220 mph (354 kph). That tied it for the most powerful Atlantic hurricane ever to come ashore, equaling the Labor Day hurricane of 1935, before the storms were named."
Quote: "The only recorded storm that was more powerful was Hurricane Allen in 1980, with 190 mph (305 kph) winds. That storm did not make landfall at that strength."
2019-09-01 - Blueprints of future climate trends:
http://arctic-news.blogspot.com/2019/09/blueprints-of-future-climate-trends.html
Note: Check out figure 3. Human activity is just slightly better for the climate than a Hugh Jass asteroid impact and the trajectory is MUCH worse than the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum of 55 million years ago. I believe the best analogy to what's happening now is the Permian-Triassic extinction event of 250 million years ago, the 'Great Dying'. Granted, everything's not dead yet, but that's where we're heading, an almost complete reset on life on this planet with virtually the entire top two-thirds or so of the food chain exterminated...

2019-09-03 - Unknown rotten egg odor hits many homes in coastal Claymont (Delaware):
http://firststateupdate.com/2019/09/mystery-odor-prompts-over-120-calls-to-delmarva-911/
Quote: "At around 3:00 Tuesday afternoon residents in Claymont and the surrounding area began calling 911 and reporting an odor of natural gas in their homes. Several crews from area fire companies responded to the several locations and reported that they could smell the odor, however, they could not determine the source of the odor."
Quote: "Although crews responded to several locations including, Archmere Academy, they did not find any readings at that those locations upon arrival. Delmarva Power told First State Update that they received more than 120 reports of gas odor in the Claymont, Delaware area between approximately 3 and 3:45 p.m. Although their crews conducted house to house investigations to safeguard all areas where the odor was reported, the cause of the odor is under investigation and no source of the floating odor associated with this event has been identified, according to Delmarva Power. There are no issues with any Delmarva Power gas infrastructure that would have caused the floating odor event, read a statement from the company."
Note: So it smelled like the odorant added to natural gas, e.g. a rotten egg odor, but they detected no natural gas at any of the locations. Ergo, it's highly likely that this was hydrogen sulfide, which has the same rotten egg odor as the natural gas odorant but will not register at all on natural gas detectors...

Quote: "Federal scientists said Thursday they are monitoring a new ocean heat wave off the U.S. West Coast, a development that could badly disrupt marine life including salmon, whales and sea lions. The expanse of unusually warm water stretches from Alaska to California, researchers with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Thursday. It resembles a similar heat wave about five years ago that was blamed for poorer survival rates for young salmon, more humpback whales becoming entangled in fishing gear as they hunted closer to shore, and an algae bloom that shut down crabbing and clamming."
Note: From the NOAA graphic, it looks even worse than 'The Blob' from five years ago...

That's more than double the damage from just just two weeks ago. Fires are leaving blackened trees and ash-covered forest floors in their wake. The website of Bolivia's Santa Cruz region described finding charred animals in its devastated lands, and others desperately searching for food and water. The majority of fires are in protected natural areas and in forests, according to environmental secretary Cinthia Asin on Wednesday, calling for the federal government to declare a national disaster."

2019-09-07 - Hydrogen sulfide regularly blowing through coastal Tokyo (Japan):
http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2019/09/07/national/media-national/speed-bumps-potholes-road-2020-tokyo-olympics/
Quote: "As for the foul smell that is the source of other complaints, this is 'produced by accumulation of a 2-meter-thick layer of sludge on the seafloor that discharges hydrogen sulfide and methane gas, which has nothing to do with the rainfall. The only way to get rid of it would be to remove the sludge,' he said."
Note: That's not 'sludge'. That's a bacterial mat, and those bacteria are eating biomatter and emitting hydrogen sulfide, which is obviously reaching the atmosphere, else the people there wouldn't be complaining about the smell. There's not really any way to get rid of it. If they scoop it away, it'd just reappear and establish new colonies before long. This is ancient life, it was here long before human beings, and it will be here long after the human race has been exterminated. The environment is becoming friendlier to this kind of life. The friendlier the environment becomes for this kind of life, the less time the human race has left to exist. This kind of life prefers warm water and little or no oxygen. The world is warming, and most of the heat is going into the oceans. As a consequence, low-oxygen 'dead zones' are spreading across the oceans. These changes - increasing warmth and declining oxygen levels - are making the oceans far more hospitable to this ancient form of life.
That said, I don't think heat from above - e.g. traditional global warming - is the entirety of the story here. The US government, at least, has been watching the spread of these bacterial colonies through the oceans from the ISS since at least as early as the 1990s. From the surface, these bacterial mats may be as wide as football fields, or wider, but the view from orbit looks quite different. Picture a boiled egg that's been cracked a few times on a hard surface in preparation for peeling off the shell. A bunch of random cracks appear on the shell. That's what these bacterial colonies look like from far above, random lines spreading across the ocean floor. I don't think those lines are exactly random though. Those are areas where heat is rising from BELOW through cracks or weak points in the crust of the Earth. But why would these bacterial colonies be GROWING? Because more heat is rising from below. Where did that additional heat come from? The answer is magnetic friction, as the Earth's magnetic field grinded against the magnetic field of another celestial body. That's something else 'the authorities' have hidden from people, because ALL of these lines of inquiry lead to the same ultimate conclusion: this is the end of the world as we know it.
In any case, if you attend the Olympics, be prepared to breathe some poison gas. It's probably at low enough concentrations, for now, that it won't immediately kill you, but nobody really knows what it will do to you long-term either. Not that we actually HAVE any 'long-term'...

Quote: "France's tourist beaches are being overrun with toxic slime which experts say can kill sunbathers and swimmers within seconds. The green algae releases poisonous gases when trodden on causing those nearby to faint and suffer cardiac arrest, say reports."
Quote: "At least three people and dozens of animals have already died, but some fear other deaths may have been mistakenly passed off as drownings. In July, we reported how an 18-year-old died after inhaling toxic fumes from what environmentalists believe was hydrogen sulphide poisoning."
Note: That's right, a lot of 'drownings' occurring around the world are actually hydrogen sulfide poisoning events. The best way to tell if water is safe nowadays is to dive in. If you don't have a seizure or 'medical event' and/or die then the water was safe! The same thing is happening with the rotting sargassum hitting beaches in Florida, the Gulf Coast in Mexico and various islands in the Caribbean. It's not the ALGAE that's killing people and animals, it's ancient archaea and bacteria that eat the algae as it dies and emit hydrogen sulfide as a byproduct. The algae is simply the food for the organisms that emit hydrogen sulfide and it's the hydrogen sulfide that does the killing...

http://www.thehansindia.com/andhra-pradesh/crane-catches-fire-at-vizag-port-562442
Quote: "High-tech cranes going in flames at frequent intervals have raised serious doubts over safety of engines among various stakeholders of Visakhapatnam Port. The Harbour Mobile Crane (HMC) built by an MNC and owned by Seapol Port Pvt. Ltd forced many to press alarm bells in the small hours of Monday when it was engulfed in fire. Incidentally, two more cranes owned by Seapol Port Pvt. Ltd and CONCOR were also caught fire in quick succession in less than a month."
Quote: "It is noteworthy that this was the second fire accident at the Visakhapatnam Port within a period of 15 days. On August 27, a mobile crane caught fire while unloading iron ore from the vessel MV Yasa Falcon at WQ-1 berth at the inner harbour."
Note: A crane just burst into flame the day before at a dock in coastal Melbourne (Australia), mentioned in the 2019-09-08 update. A crane burst into flame 3 days before that at the port in coastal Berbera, Somaliland (Somalia), mentioned in the 2019-09-05 update. A crane burst into flame 1 day before that at the port in coastal Cork (Ireland), mentioned in the 2019-09-04 update. That's four crane fires at four different ports across the planet in six days. I don't think the problem is the manufacturer of the cranes in India; I think the problem is that electrical stuff is going up in flames generally, especially on coasts, and that does happen to include cranes at ports...

Beginning in late August, reports of sewage-like smells began flooding Nextdoor forums and other social media. The comments are centered in north Everett and along the Snohomish River.

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...

2019-09-15 - Unknown rotten egg odor blows through Chicopee (Massachusetts):
http://www.masslive.com/news/2019/09/natural-gas-smell-reported-in-multiple-chicopee-neighborhoods.html

Quote: "Police have confirmed that there are no more reports of natural gas after numerous calls came in Sunday night about how residents believed they smelt an odor."
Quote: The gas company had 'sweepers' attempt to detect the source of the odor and discovered zero readings throughout the city."
Quote: "Chicopee Police Department Public Information Officer (PIO), Michael Wilk informed Western Mass News that there is no danger to anyone inside their homes as the only reports were outside smells."
Note: So it was something that smelled LIKE the odorant added to natural gas (which is itself odorless) but it wasn't natural gas, and it came from outdoors. That was very likely a cloud of low concentration hydrogen sulfide. If it'd been high in concentration then there'd have been a bunch of dead people laying in the streets and/or in their homes. That doesn't mean that the concentration won't be lethal next time though. Chicopee runs along the eastern (downwind) side of the Connecticut River...

http://www.businessinsider.co.za/rising-global-temperatures-are-creating-bubbling-methane-lakes-you-can-light-on-fire-2019-9
Quote: "Thousands of flammable lakes are popping up all over Alaska and Siberia. Rising global temperatures are thawing and melting permafrost in the Arctic, which creates these thermokarst lakes that bubble with methane. The methane is flammable, but also getting into the atmosphere where it can contribute to further climate change."
Note: If this methane is going into the atmosphere then we should see rising methane levels in the Arctic...
2019-09-16 - Atmospheric methane levels in the Arctic spike to unprecedented levels:
http://eandt.theiet.org/content/articles/2019/09/arctic-methane-levels-reach-new-heights-data-shows/
Quote: "In a central Arctic location, a research site in the US state of Alaska, record-breaking level in methane concentration was recorded for this year. The sudden jump sent waves of uneasiness through social networks. In August, methane levels above 2040 nmol mol-1 (ppb) were spotted by the Barrow Atmospheric Baseline Observatory, located eight kilometres east of the city of Utqiagvik (formerly called Barrow) in Alaska. To spot methane levels breaking the 2000ppb mark so sharply in this fragile region is unprecedented, as the chart below illustrates."

http://www.yahoo.com/news/earth-warm-more-quickly-climate-models-show-074633444.html
Quote: "Greenhouse gases thrust into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels are warming Earth's surface more quickly than previously understood, according to new climate models set to replace those used in current UN projections, scientists said Tuesday. By 2100, average temperatures could rise 6.5 to 7.0 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels if carbon emissions continue unabated, separate models from two leading research centres in France showed."
Note: They're not factoring in the compounding effect of numerous feedbacks. It will be much worse than that much sooner than that...

It also said it was unconnected to meteors spotted from England at 20:17 and 20:45."

http://www.theblaze.com/news/us-navy-confirms-classified-ufo-videos-are-real-and-were-never-meant-to-be-seen-by-the-public
Quote: "The U.S. Navy has finally acknowledged that videos appearing to show UFOs flying through the air are real and were recorded years ago by fighter pilots. The U.S. Navy confirms that video of UFOs released in 2017 is real, but would not speculate about what the video actually shows. The videos were made public in 2017 by the New York Times and were also released by the UFO research group founded by former Blink-182 singer and guitarist Tom DeLonge, writer of the song 'Aliens Exist.' Video shows a rotating object captured by U.S. Navy aircraft with sensors locked in on the target. Commander David Fravor saw it firsthand during a training mission, describing it like a '40-foot long Tic Tac' maneuvering rapidly and changing direction."
Quote: "The ability to hover over the water and go from zero to 12,000 feet and accelerate in less than two seconds was something I have never seen in my life."
Quote: "They show objects accelerating to hypersonic speed and making movements described as beyond the physical abilities of a human crew."
Quote: "Both the Pentagon and the Navy have confirmed that the videos were never cleared for public release."
Note: The movements of these craft are not beyond the physical abilities of a human crew if they're manipulating the Higgs field and reducing the mass of the craft to zero, which eliminates inertia. These craft are way beyond even Star Trek technology. In Star Trek, you hear the phrase, 'They're coming around, Captain!' These craft never need to 'come around', e.g. make turns. They change their path from going in a straight line in one direction to going in a straight line in an entirely different direction instantly. That means they have no inertia, which means they have no mass, which means they are manipulating the Higgs field. Someone has deduced the same thing that I have, and every particle collider is working on figuring out the Higgs boson - e.g. 'the God Particle' - and the Higgs field. We know WHAT they are doing - manipulating the Higgs field - but we don't yet know exactly HOW they're doing it. That's the hard part, figuring out the HOW of it. Until we do, nothing we make will ever be able to match the speed and maneuverability of these craft, because everything we make is burdened with mass and inertia...

Well, since this IS game over, it's not gonna take people forever to figure that out - I'm surprised more haven't figured it out already - and then I guess we will see what we will see!

Quote: "But something happened around 700 million years ago that remains a mystery, although the researchers think its connected to volcanic activity. Magma would have released carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and as the magma cooled, the gas couldn't be reabsorbed in the surface."
Note: I believe the mysterious event that occurred was another planetary-scale or larger object with a powerful magnetic field - and rotating in the opposite direction - passing close enough to Venus to slow its rotation to nothing with magnetic friction and then slightly reverse it. That amount of magnetic friction created a vast amount of heat in the core of the planet, just as brakes heat up when you slam on the brakes in a car, and that's what caused the volcanism that turned Venus into a hellhole. This explains both mysteries - why the rotational speed of Venus is unlike any other planet in the solar system AND why Venus experienced radical volcanism, heated up and turned into a hellhole. Two mysteries, but one event explains them both...

2019-09-28 - Why Vladimir Putin suddenly believes in global warming:
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/why-vladimir-putin-suddenly-believes-060006117.html
Quote: "President Vladimir Putin needs to go green quickly to stop the permafrost from melting, so that Russian oil and gas companies can keep pumping the hydrocarbons that are warming the planet and making the permafrost melt."
Note: To summarize, the melting permafrost destabilizes the ground and wrecks gas and oil infrastructure (among other things). Unfortunately, if we all magically went carbon-neutral all across this planet, there is a delay of decades before those effects would begin to kick in. We haven't even begun to feel all the warming we're GOING to feel from the greenhouses gases ALREADY in the atmosphere, not even including those we're contributing each and every year or those released by the Earth itself due to feedbacks already spiraling out of control. The time to address the problem, if it was ever possible at all, would have been when Putin was wearing diapers. It's far too late now. And this is certainly ironic. The melting Arctic will allow Putin to more easily ship Russian oil and gas around the world but at the same time the melting permafrost will destroy the infrastructure needed to get the oil and gas to the Arctic coast to ship. He didn't think things through very well!

2019-09-29 - Mysterious smoke ring appears in the sky near Moscow (Russia):
http://sputniknews.com/viral/201909291076917831-nothing-to-see-here-cryptic-black-ring-appears-in-sky-above-moscow-region---video/
http://www.sott.net/article/421192-Strange-black-smoke-ring-appears-above-Moscow-region
Note: When a blob of semi-concentrated gaseous methane in the atmosphere spontaneously ignites, it may leave a carbon trace behind - the C in CH4 - and that could produce a smoke ring. These mysterious smoke rings began appearing around the world several years ago, not coincidentally at the same time as methane levels in the atmosphere began spiking. What this means is that sometimes the AIR ITSELF will burst into flame, no ignition source necessary; the term commonly used for this is 'auto-ignition'. If this happens in the sky, no big deal, maybe a weird smoke ring. If it happens on top of you then you'll probably die or at least you're likely to be seriously burned. If it happens at night in your yard when nobody's around paying attention then your home may go up in flames. If it happens out in a remote forest or jungle then there may be a sudden wildfire with no discernible cause. There will be no warning when this happens since methane is both invisible and odorless...
