Event Update For 2019-12-17

http://jumpingjackflashhypothesis.blogspot.com/2012/02/jumping-jack-flash-hypothesis-its-gas.html

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.

2019-12-17 - Unknown foul odor hits GM plant in Fort Wayne (Indiana):
http://fortwaynesnbc.com/2019/12/17/foul-odor-leads-to-partial-evacuation-at-fort-wayne-gm-plant/

Quote: "Company spokesperson, Stephanie Jengten, tells Fort Wayne's NBC News that several employees smelled a foul odor in what she called 'sporadic areas' of the plant, and those areas were evacuated."

2019-12-17 - The world's coral reefs are dying off as the oceans continue heating up:
http://phys.org/news/2019-12-world-coral-reefs-dying-scientists.html

Quote: "The oceans are already warming rapidly—absorbing more than 90% of the extra heat the planet now produces—and even if humans radically change their behavior tomorrow, they will continue to warm. The result is an existential crisis for coral. Many scientists fear the shallow-water varieties that form reefs may not survive the century. Coral reefs build up over centuries but can die in just two successive summers of abnormal heat."

2019-12-17 - Too hot for humans? First Nations people fear becoming Australia's first climate refugees:
http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/dec/18/too-hot-for-humans-first-nations-people-fear-becoming-australias-first-climate-refugees

Quote: "Last summer was the hottest on record, and the driest in 27 years in central Australia. Five per cent of the town’s street trees died. A heat monitoring study showed that on some unshaded streets the surface temperature was between 61C [141.8F] and 68C [154.4F]."

Quote: "Temperature records have already been broken. In the year to July 2019, Alice Springs had 129 days over 35C [95F], and 55 days over 40C [104F]."

2019-12-17 - Highest average temperature ever recorded bakes Australia, and temps expected to go higher:

http://www.thebigwobble.org/2019/12/in-summer-that-hasnt-officially-started.html
http://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/18/world/australia/record-heat.html

Quote: "The average maximum temperature across the country on Tuesday was 40.9 degrees Celsius (105.6 Fahrenheit), according to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology -- beating the previous 2013 record of 40.3 Celsius (104.5 Fahrenheit)."

Note: They call it summer there. Apparently they start their seasons on the 1st of the month in Australia instead of on the 21st. If they were in the northern hemisphere it would still be spring. And the horrendous fires began ramping up in September, which would be the same as March in the northern hemisphere, so either late winter or very early spring...
