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.

Tornado ravages north Dallas, leaving thousands without power
https://www.yahoo.com/news/tornado-ravages-north-dallas-leaving-053719557.html
A tornado plowed through parts of northern Dallas late on Sunday, knocking out power to more than 175,000 homes and businesses and delaying flights at regional airports, officials said.
The storm left a miles-long swath of destruction through Dallas, hitting near the Love Field airport in the city's north, the National Weather Service's (NWS) Weather Prediction Center in College Park Maryland said early on Monday. [more]
Nestor heads into Georgia after tornados damage Florida
https://www.yahoo.com/news/wet-weekend-tropical-storm-warnings-131131925.html
Nestor raced across Georgia as a post-tropical cyclone late Saturday, hours after the former tropical storm spawned a tornado that damaged homes and a school in central Florida while sparing areas of the Florida Panhandle devastated one year earlier by Hurricane Michael.
The storm made landfall Saturday on St. Vincent Island, a nature preserve off Florida's northern Gulf Coast in a lightly populated area of the state, the National Hurricane Center said.
Nestor was expected to bring 1 to 3 inches of rain to drought-stricken inland areas on its march across a swath of the U.S. Southeast. Forecasters said it also was raising an overnight threat of severe weather in the Carolinas as it continued to speed toward the Atlantic Ocean. [more]

How dangerous is it for humans to ingest microplastics?
https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/dangerous-humans-ingest-microplastics-091200881.html
We know for a fact that microplastics have made their way into the food chain and we are now ingesting them on a regular, if not daily, basis. But how harmful and dangerous is it for humans to be eating plastic? What is it doing to our bodies?
Recent studies have revealed the extent of how much plastic we are ingesting. A pilot study which took place in October 2018 found microplastics in the feces of eight people who provided samples for research. This was a small sample group but nodded to the inevitable conclusion that humans are eating plastic.
In June of this year, a study published in the Environmental Science and Technology journal confirmed this, finding that humans could be consuming between 39,000 and 52,000 plastic particles every year. When you add that to the number of particles we inhale, the scientists took that number closer to 74,000 a year.
there is a lack of research and evidence in this area because only now are we, as a population, realising the true extent of our plastic problem. [more]

Multiple Birds Mysteriously Falling From the sky Outside a Hospital in Coventry, UK!

Two recent events – and probably more not covered by medias – show that birds don’t like the new 5G technology. A few days ago, more than 300 fell from the sky at the NASCAR Hall of Fame building in Uptown Charlotte. It seems that beginning of the month, another bird mass die-off occurred just in front of an hospital in Coventry, UK, where they have just introduced the new internet technology.

Climate scientist: our profession is letting down humanity – we must change the way we approach the climate crisis
https://www.yahoo.com/news/climate-scientist-profession-letting-down-133426530.html
The 1979 Charney report raised concerns about an impending climate crisis long before we could directly evidence it. In response, the scientific community stepped up its research efforts, and has been conducting regular scientific assessments to build a consensus view, and send a strong message to policy makers to spur them into action.
The problem is that 40 years of these efforts, however well-intentioned, have not had any impact on the carbon course of humanity. Since the middle of the 19th century, CO₂ emissions from human activities have been growing exponentially, on average by 1.65% per year since 1850. [more]

"After World War II, the world was facing a threat from a nuclear war," Juan Manuel Santos, a staunch environmentalist, told the World Green Economy Summit in Dubai.
"The threat from a nuclear war remains... but we have something worse, which is a certainty. That is climate change," he said. [more]
Ozone hole shrinks to smallest size on record, and it's not related to global warming
https://www.yahoo.com/news/ozone-hole-shrinks-smallest-size-171107936.html
Thanks to unusually warm temperatures high above Antarctica this month, the ozone hole shrank to its smallest size on record, scientists reported Monday.
An annual phenomenon in the stratosphere above Antarctica, the ozone hole is a dramatic thinning of the ozone layer that's typically boosted in size by colder temperatures.
This is the third time in 40 years that weather systems have caused warm temperatures that limit ozone depletion, according to scientists from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Similar weather patterns in the Antarctic stratosphere in September 1988 and 2002 also produced unusually small ozone holes.
there is no identified connection between these weather patterns and climate change, NOAA said. [more]
