http://www.ksla.com/video/2019/11/06/no-classes-nov-broadmoor-middle-authorities-seek-source-medical-emergency/
Quote: "Broadmoor Middle Laboratory School will be closed as a precaution Wednesday as authorities search for the cause of a mystery medical emergency that sent at least 13 students to hospitals. Medical emergency sends 13 or more students to hospital; authorities evacuate school What initially was reported as a possible natural gas leak spurred a large emergency response Tuesday afternoon and caused officials to evacuate the campus on Atlantic Avenue. At least 13 students have since been taken to area hospitals. Two students came out of a class feeling dizzy and complained of headaches, Caddo School District spokeswoman Mary Nash-Wood told KSLA News 12. Eleven more other students and three school staffers had similar symptoms, she added."
Quote: "Shreveport firefighters and CenterPoint Energy crews checked the campus for a gas leak and found none."
Note: So it smelled LIKE the odorant added to natural gas but it wasn't natural gas. That's what hydrogen sulfide smells like, all of those symptoms match those of low-level hydrogen sulfide poisoning, and they didn't find any natural gas. People will often mistake the smell of low concentrations of hydrogen sulfide for a gas leak, since the smell is the same, but hydrogen sulfide will not register on natural gas detectors...

Quote: "The climate crisis has arrived and is accelerating faster than most scientists expected (figure 2, IPCC 2018). It is more severe than anticipated, threatening natural ecosystems and the fate of humanity (IPCC 2019). Especially worrisome are potential irreversible climate tipping points and nature's reinforcing feedbacks (atmospheric, marine, and terrestrial) that could lead to a catastrophic “hothouse Earth,” well beyond the control of humans (Steffen et al. 2018). These climate chain reactions could cause significant disruptions to ecosystems, society, and economies, potentially making large areas of Earth uninhabitable."

http://www.nbc12.com/2019/11/07/petersburg-authorities-unable-determine-source-stinky-smell-school/
Quote: "A strong odor has parents and even teachers complaining at a Petersburg school. It was so bad, students went home early Wednesday for the second time in two weeks. It’s happening at the Westview Early Childhood Center for preschoolers where firefighters are roaming the halls of a school to find the root of a problem. 'Just a bad odor of something,' Fire Marshal Jim Reid said. Some have compared it to sewage. Others say they’ve smelled an odor similar to rotten eggs. Either way, it prompted early dismissal again Wednesday. Students were sent home early last week when even teachers complained of the bad smell."

Quote: "A total of 85 'toxic fume events' have been reported on BA jets in the last two months. Cabin crew felt sick amid a stench on Flight BA979 from Hanover, Germany, to Heathrow last week."
Note: And this is just ONE airline. I would take from this information the following: 1) these events are now happening with significant frequency; and 2) the majority of these events are not covered in the news, because if they were then I'd have noticed them, and I have found just a fraction of that count mentioned in news stories. Obviously everyone in positions of authority has reason to downplay these events. The airlines don't want to lose business, and governments don't want people to realize that it's the end of the world. In any case, an increasingly contaminated atmosphere results in more planes flying though clouds of poison gas, which means more toxic fume events. Simple as that...

Quote: "The Taku Glacier, located north of Juneau, Alaska, has started to retreat as temperatures rise, said Mauri Pelto, a glaciologist at Nichols College in Massachusetts. Up until now, of the 250 glaciers that he has studied, all had retreated except one: Taku Glacier. But an analysis shows that Taku has lost mass and joined the rest of the retreating glaciers. 'This is a big deal for me because I had this one glacier I could hold on to,' Pelto told NASA’s Earth Observatory. 'But not anymore. This makes the score climate change: 250, and alpine glaciers: 0.' New photos released by NASA this week show that the melting of Taku has at last become visible."

2019-11-14 - Bacteria may contribute more to climate change as planet heats up:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/11/191112110214.htm
http://www.upi.com/Science_News/2019/11/12/Warmer-temperatures-to-boost-CO2-emissions-from-bacteria/3211573584054/
Quote: "As bacteria adapt to hotter temperatures, they speed up their respiration rate and release more carbon, potentially accelerating climate change."
Note: So that's another self-reinforcing feedback. Warmer temps make bacteria produce more CO2, which makes temps warmer, which makes them produce more CO2, which makes temps warmer, and so on and so on. There's probably an upper limit on that, beyond which this effect diminishes or disappears, but it's highly unlikely that any human beings will still be alive to see that limit reached...

2019-11-15 - Toxic fog kills birds, snow turns yellow, in Segezha (Russia), on the shore of Lake Vygozero, blamed on paper plant:
http://strangesounds.org/2019/11/mysterious-yellow-snow-birds-fall-from-sky-russia-pictures.html
http://generalcarbon.com/industries-served/pulp-paper-mills/
Quote: "According to residents, the city was plunged for several hours in a thick fetid fog that even killed many birds. Streets, cars and passerby were covered with some yellow rubbish snow. It was impossible to breathe anymore."
Quote: "During this chemical poisoning, birds started falling dead from the sky."
Quote: "First sources say a chemical leak from a paper factory seems to have been the cause of snow turning yellow and birds falling dead out of the sky in Segezha, Karelia."
Note: Sounds like a cloud of hydrogen sulfide hit this city. Paper and pulp plants produce hydrogen sulfide, so they would be a convenient target to blame if a cloud of hydrogen sulfide blows by and starts knocking birds (or people) dead. From the second link, "Pulp and paper mills have a common problem throughout the entire industry. The manufacturing process creates an unwanted bi-product, Hydrogen Sulfide gas." Also, elemental sulfur is yellow. Hydrogen sulfide reacting with ozone in the atmosphere will produce elemental sulfur, thus the yellow coloring in the snow there. Maybe it WAS a leak of hydrogen sulfide from a paper plant. Or maybe it wasn't, but that was just the handiest go-to explanation for the authorities to use to explain away a city being hit by a cloud of hydrogen sulfide...

Quote: "Around 1 a.m. (2 a.m. ET), an explosion at the TPC Group plant caused extensive damage across the small city of Port Neches, leaving at least three employees injured, authorities said. During a press conference, they said a series of smaller explosions occurred throughout the day and then a larger one in the afternoon launched a tower into the air with balls of fire. A mandatory evacuation has been issued for areas within a 4-mile radius of plant because of the potential for more explosions."
Quote: "Two explosions at a chemical plant in Texas put 60,000 people under evacuation orders Wednesday. The first blast, which blew out the windows and doors of nearby homes, injured three workers. The first explosion occurred just after 1 a.m. Wednesday. Officials said the blast could be felt up to 30 miles away, and that by sunrise, toxic plumes could be seen for miles."
Quote: "The explosion was even felt as far away as neighboring Louisiana."
Quote: "Texas has seen multiple petrochemical industry blazes this year, including a March fire that burned for days near Houston and another that killed a worker at a plant in nearby Crosby."
