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.

2019-10-26 - Unknown rotten egg odor affects hundreds of people in coastal Hull (Britain):
http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/hull-east-yorkshire-news/gas-leak-hull-city-centre-3470406
http://www.northerngasnetworks.co.uk/incident/smell-of-gas-paragon-interchange-hull/
Quote: "It affected hundreds of people and brought the city centre to a standstill. But the suspected gas leak on Saturday afternoon was not a gas leak at all - and was simply just an 'eggy smell'."
Quote: "Humberside Police had cordoned off a large area surrounding Hull Paragon Interchange on Saturday afternoon so firefighters could attempt to find the epicentre of a 'sulphuric-type smell'."
Quote: "However, further tests proved no gas had been located anywhere at the station and the ominous smell had in fact been the result of an unprecedented amount of rainfall. The service said that a large amount of water filling the sewers had disturbed sediment in the draining system - which then kicked out a nasty smell."
Note: Sounds semi-plausible - water fills sewers, pushes gases out. Could just be some hydrogen sulfide blowing in off the ocean though, or even hydrogen sulfide in the rain itself. Either way, if you got sickened by the smell, it's because you got poisoned. There'll probably be an uptick in the number of people dying from cardiac arrest or 'medical events' in the next few days in this area...

So far, the Kincade fire has scorched almost 26,000 acres, destroyed 77 structures, including 31 homes, and was only 10 percent contained as of 7 p.m. on Saturday."

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/global-authorities-brace-for-a-worldwide-protein-shortage-as-one-quarter-of-earths-pigs-have-been-wiped-out
Note: I was thinking of the Army training for food riots, and it occurred to me that the rampant gun violence that's been escalating, especially in the US, may not be viewed by those running things as a problem, but more of a solution. If soldiers are going to have to end up mowing down starving rioters at some point - which they will - then why not have people mow THEMSELVES down a fair bit before we even get to that point? Dead people don't need food and they don't riot. So the more people that get mowed down by gun violence, the longer civilization will last and the fewer starving people the Army will end up having to deal with when civilization does collapse. The same goes for the opioid epidemic or really anything that helps us die off at an accelerated pace before the starvation phase kicks in. Things to ponder...

Good Monday morning Jonny and everyone reading JJFH.
ReplyDeleteYeah, on the way in to college this morning i happened to notice
the exhaust coming out of the tailpipe of the car in front of me as we were stopped at a light. Multiplying that by billions of cars and trucks all over the planet, EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY, it's no wonder we're on our way out. The atmosphere can be thought of as a closed garage that's rapidly filling up with toxic fumes. I agree with your thoughts about all the things taking life off the planet (gun violence, diseases, vehicle accidents, JJFH events, structural collapse,
natural disasters, pollution, etc) and that leads me to think that the violence is going to escalate in 2020. The military will have the same problem as everyone else once the grid goes down.

Could Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) Actually Save Us?
No, and for a simple reason: energy, not money, makes the world go around. Let's say you have issued a million currency units (CUs), and your economy has a certain stock of energy at its disposal. Since money is nothing but tokenized energy, each CU is worth one-millionth of the energy stock. Now, with a few taps on a computer keyboard you issue another million CUs. So you have double the number of CUs, but does that mean your energy stock has doubled? Of course not. Now each CU is worth only half as much energy as before. Because energy, not money, powers the socioeconomic system, you haven't gotten anywhere, and your issuance of more CUs is just self-deception, and an exercise in futility. -- RF

U.S. Military Could Collapse Within 20 Years Due to Climate Change, Report Commissioned By Pentagon Says
It won't stop with military forces. Whole societies and economies will collapse — and indeed have already begun to collapse. Don't get caught flat-footed. Most curious here is that although the report notes the consequences of power grid failure, it does not anticipate the most serious result: loss of offsite power to nuclear power plants. Once offsite power is lost, there is only a short time until diesel fuel for backup generators runs out, and under the dire circumstances predicted in the report, there will be little to no hope of further deliveries. The meltdowns and fireworks start once reactor cores and spent fuel pools overheat (think Fukushima). With so many nuclear power plants throughout the world, there's no place to hide.

“Diablo Winds” Are Ferociously Whipping “Out Of Control” Wildfires Across Vast Stretches Of Northern California
ReplyDeletehttp://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/diablo-winds-are-ferociously-whipping-out-of-control-wildfires-across-vast-stretches-of-northern-california
It was being reported that on Sunday morning there were sustained winds exceeding 90 mph in northern California with “gusts that topped 100 mph”. It was the strongest wind event in several years, and it came at an extremely unfortunate time. These “hurricane-force Diablo winds” will continue into Monday morning, but that doesn’t mean that things will start to get better. As you will see below, another extreme wind event is in the forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday. [more]

Hurricane "Pablo" - the farthest east an Atlantic named storm has first become a hurricane
https://watchers.news/2019/10/28/hurricane-pablo-the-farthest-east-an-atlantic-named-storm-has-first-become-a-hurricane/
Hurricane "Pablo" became the sixth Atlantic hurricane on Sunday morning, October 27, 2019. It strengthened into a hurricane at 15:00 UTC at 42.8° north latitude, making it the strongest one to form this far north in the Atlantic and this late in the calendar since 1894. Pablo broke the record previously held by a storm that first reached farther north in 1971. Meteorologist Philip Klotzbach also confirmed that since Pablo formed at 18.3° west - it broke another record of the farthest east hurricane set by Vince in 2005, which was 18.9° west. [more]

Anatomically modern humans, or Homo sapiens sapiens, emerged in Africa about 200,000 years ago. But the precise location from which they originated has remained uncertain.
Now, a new study suggests modern humans' ancestral homeland was in modern-day Botswana, just south of the Zambezi River.
Researchers narrowed in on that area using genetic analysis.

An "expert" Pennsylvania hiker reported missing after entering the Appalachian Trail was found dead at the bottom of a 30-foot embankment, state police said.
The body of Michael William Kaiser, 56, was discovered Thursday in Lehigh County in an area known as Bear Rocks five days after his brother reported him missing to authorities, Pennsylvania State Police said.
Kaiser, who had no significant medical or psychological issues, had planned on hiking for just two days, according to The Allentown Hiking Club. [more]

Atmospheric optics expert Les Cowley explains what happened: "Sunsets like Mila's need a very strong temperature inversion where cold air is sandwiched between warmer air layers. The layers then act like a wave guide, ducting the sun's rays in layers. Short ducts give three pancake-like mirages. Very long ducts give the rare Novaya Zemlya effect with a whole shimmering stack of narrow stripes." [more; video]
