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.

2019-10-01 - Jellyfish population increasing in the waters around Juneau (Alaska):
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/database/index.php?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=BH-20191001-69796-USA

http://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/alaska/articles/2019-09-28/alaska-residents-to-see-increased-jellyfish-sightings
Quote: "Alaska scientists have confirmed an increasing number of moon jellyfish floating around Juneau waters. Juneau Empire reported Friday that warm ocean temperatures and plentiful food in the form of zooplankton have contributed to the increased sightings. A marine biology professor says the moon jellyfish known as Aurelia aurita have reached maturity after spawning in early spring. Experts say residents could be stung and urge people not to pick up beached jellyfish. Scientists say the sting of the moon jellyfish is considered less painful than the sting of some others. Experts have recommended watching the jellyfish from a pier for the best views. Scientists say there are concerns that too many jellyfish in the water could throw off the ecosystem because they would eat too many zooplankton."
Note: Jellyfish reproduce faster in warmer waters. Jellyfish survived the Great Dying and since the current extinction event is a repeat of the Great Dying, they'll undoubtedly survive the current extinction event too. Huge numbers of jellyfish have been clogging up the water intakes at nuclear plants off and on in recent years, so they seem to be doing just fine. They'll be here long after the last human being has died just as they were here long before the first human being existed...
2019-10-01 - Giant African snails carrying diseases spread all across Cuba:

http://www.bostonglobe.com/news/world/2019/09/30/cuba-battling-plague-giant-snails/HUJrEvjPxUPTYPhVeC9dVI/story.html

Quote: "Silently and without pause, the giant African snail has been invading Cuba. With their shiny, brilliantly striped shells and bodies up to 8 inches long, the snails have become public enemy No. 1 for epidemiologists, and citizens have grown to fear their ability to transmit diseases and harm crops. "I never heard of them before, but now they're everywhere," said Yusmila Marin, a 29-year-old nurse who lives in a neighborhood rife with the mollusks, whose scientific name is Achatina Fulica. In recent months, Cuban authorities have activated the nationwide civil defense system to battle the snails. But some say the state's response is inadequate. Marin and families in the Villa Panamericana neighborhood are keeping children indoors to play due to the danger of infection from the snails, which can transmit a potentially severe brain infection called meningoencephalitis and an abdominal disease known as angiostrongyliasis. First detected in Cuba in 2014, the snail can now be found throughout Havana and in almost every one of the island's provinces. It's not known how the snail arrived in the nation."
Note: Doesn't sound like they're gonna have any more luck getting rid of these things than we've had getting rid of invasive fire ants and pythons here in the US...

Good morning Jonny, Fran, Mike D., Tom N., LL, Terry, FezzedOne, Panther, and all readers of JJFH today.
ReplyDeleteRaining here (finally!) and the heat is gone (possibly until spring). Man, it's been DRY lately, so these next few days of rain will help.
Stats on garbage truck fires and Hull, UK JJFH incidents for September:
Though tied for lowest days (6) where garbage trucks burned, and second lowest in number of trucks destroyed by fire (8), JJFH events in Hull saw a record 17 days of incidents and tied for most in a month (21) with July. On 3 occasions, these phenomena occurred simultaneously. The JJFH events in Hull showed two streaks of 5 and 6 days in a row!

Stock Prices Are Plunging, And Many Fear This Could Be Another “Black October” For The Stock Market
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/stock-prices-are-plunging-and-many-fear-this-could-be-another-black-october-for-the-stock-market
The stock market hasn’t started a quarter this badly in about a decade, and if stock prices continue to plummet it could set off a wave of panic selling unlike anything that we have seen in a very long time. Of course it wouldn’t be the first time that we have seen a major stock market crash during the month of October. If I mention “October 1929”, you immediately know what I am referring to, and the same thing is true for October 1987 and October 2008. Today, we are facing a global economic slowdown, an impeachment crisis in Washington and a rapidly escalating trade war simultaneously, and it seems like almost everyone on Wall Street is suddenly talking about “the coming recession”. In such an environment, any piece of bad news is going to push stocks lower, and that is certainly what happened on Wednesday [more]
Wall Street plunges on economic worries
https://www.yahoo.com/news/wall-street-plunges-economic-worries-203102937.html
The Dow lost nearly 500 points Wednesday as the main indexes suffered their sharpest one-day declines in nearly six weeks. Investors grew increasingly concerned about an economic slowdown stemming from the trade war after a report showed hiring by private employers slowed last month. Stocks fell across the board, sending the S&P 500 down 1.8%. It and the Dow fell below key technical levels that could presage further losses. [more]

A Last Quake to Make Los Angeles a Radioactive Dead Zone

The likely human death toll would be in the millions. The likely property loss would be in the trillions.
The forever damage to our species’ food supply, ecological support systems, and long term economy would be very far beyond any meaningful calculation.
The two cracked, embrittled, under-maintained, unregulated, uninsured, and un-inspected atomic reactors at Diablo Canyon, near San Luis Obispo, would be a seething radioactive ruin.
Their cores would be melting into the ground. Hydrogen explosions would be blasting the site to deadly dust. One or both melted cores would have burned into the earth and hit ground or ocean water, causing massive steam explosions with physical impacts in the range of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The huge clouds would send murderous radioactive isotopes into the atmosphere that would permanently poison the land, the oceans, the air … and circle the globe again and again, and yet again, filling the lungs of billions of living things with the most potent poisons humans have ever created.

Plasma? Mysterious 'fireball' that crashed in Chile was NOT meteor say scientists
https://www.sott.net/article/421388-Plasma-Mysterious-fireball-that-crashed-in-Chile-was-NOT-meteor-say-scientists
The "fireballs" reportedly crash-landed at a number of locations around the town.
Chile's National Geology and Mining Service soon gathered scientists to investigate the strange bright objects, dispatching teams to some seven sites on Chiloé to take samples. In a statement issued over the weekend, the scientists concluded they "found no remains, vestiges or evidence of a meteorite" left behind by the "luminous and incandescent" objects.
The scientists said they would continue to analyze soil samples and release a more complete report in the coming weeks [more]

Tsunami linked to spread of deadly fungal disease C. gattii
https://www.sott.net/article/421393-Tsunami-linked-to-spread-of-deadly-fungal-disease-C-gattii
The Great Alaskan Earthquake of 1964 and the tsunamis it spawned may have washed a tropical fungus ashore, leading to a subsequent outbreak of often-fatal infections among people in coastal regions of the Pacific Northwest, according to a paper co-authored by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the nonprofit Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), an affiliate of City of Hope.
In the paper, to publish Oct. 1 in the journal mBio, the co-authors confront the mystery of the Cryptococcus gattii outbreak in the Pacific Northwest. The outbreak, involving at least several hundred known cases, has been ongoing since 1999, with cases still occurring in humans and wildlife. It has long puzzled epidemiologists because the fungal subtypes isolated from the vast majority of infected patients resemble subtypes normally seen in Brazil and nearby areas of South America.

Extreme rainfall variability driving tree growth reductions in western U.S. – “Key Southwest tree species may be at risk as precipitation extremes intensify”

As the Earth’s temperature warms, its hydrological cycle kicks into overdrive – wet years get wetter, and dry years get drier. According to a new University of Arizona-led study, these increased rainfall extremes could have dire consequences for the semi-arid forests of the western U.S.

Piles of dead mangroves discovered in Australia’s Gulf of Carpentaria during a 2019 monitoring trip. A cascade of impacts including rising sea levels, heatwaves and back-to-back tropical cyclones has created 400km of dead and badly damaged mangroves in the Gulf of Carpentaria.

A cascade of impacts including rising sea levels, heatwaves and back-to-back tropical cyclones has created 400 kilometers [249 miles] of dead and badly damaged mangroves in the Gulf of Carpentaria, a scientific monitoring trip has discovered.
There will almost certainly be impacts on fisheries and the ability of mangroves to protect the coasts from erosion. How the gulf can sustain that I don’t know.

Environmentalists push for removing dam along Colorado River
https://www.yahoo.com/news/environmentalists-push-removing-dam-along-235958376.html
[hey, just transfer it to the southern border - instant wall!]
Environmental groups that have long pushed to bring down a huge dam along the Colorado River are suing the federal government, alleging it ignored climate science when approving a 20-year operating plan for the dam near the Arizona-Utah border.
Glen Canyon Dam holds back Lake Powell, one of the largest man-made reservoirs in the United States. It and Lake Mead, which straddles the Arizona-Nevada line, are key to ensuring Colorado River water gets to the 40 million people and the more than 7,000 square miles (18,000 square kilometers) of farmland that depend on it.
Drought and climate change already have reduced the river’s flow, forcing seven Western states to adopt a plan earlier this year to ensure the lake elevations don't dip too low. [more]
