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.

2020-01-11 - As Australia burns, the question becomes, how long will Australia remain liveable?
http://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2020/01/only-way-confront-australias-wildfires/604546/
http://www.news.com.au/technology/environment/climate-change/the-atlantic-asks-how-long-will-australia-be-liveable/news-story/aee9f7b8085de1b7a542f2d2013209d1
Quote: "Australia’s major cities – including Sydney and Melbourne – are filled with smoke. More than half a billion animals are dead and the human toll is still climbing – 25 people have so far lost their lives. In total, the area burned by bushfires is almost the size of England. Australia’s six hottest days on record have all come this fire season. Holiday-makers are being evacuated from coastal towns in dramatic rescues requiring navy vessels."
Quote: "These are unprecedented conditions. So it makes sense that somebody asked the question: 'How long will Australia be liveable?'"
Quote: "Facing a future of fire, drought, and rising oceans, Australians will have to weigh the choice between getting out early or staying to fight."
Note: Getting out early to where?

12 Signs That The Economy Is Seriously Slowing Down As 2020 Begins

#1 The U.S. Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index has been in contraction for 5 months in a row, and it is now at the lowest level we have seen since June 2009.
#2 Last month, manufacturing employment fell at the fastest pace we have seen since August 2009.
#12 To start the year, AT&T is laying off thousands of workers, and according to Robert Reich those being laid off “will have to train their foreign replacements“.
according to John Williams of shadowstats.com, if the government was using honest numbers they would show that we are actually in a recession right now. [more; and take a look at the ACTUAL unemployment numbers, before they stopped counting unemployed people]

Bushfire has burned almost half of Kangaroo Island
https://wildfiretoday.com/2020/01/12/bushfire-has-burned-almost-half-of-kangaroo-island/
[by the time you read this it may be exactly one half, since the fires are still burning]
The Ravine Fire that has been working its way across Kangaroo Island off the coast of South Australia has burned almost half of the area of the island, over 210,000 hectares (519,000 acres) or 48 percent. (See map of the fire above)
The fire danger will increase on Monday as the forecast of Kingscote calls for winds out of the south at 8 to 16 mph. Those northerly winds will grow to 14 to 20 mph Tuesday through Thursday with very little chance of rain. [more]

Deutsche Bank Asks What World Will Give Up to Save Climate
https://www.yahoo.com/news/deutsche-bank-asks-world-save-143642794.html
The “question of our age” is how much societies are willing to sacrifice in economic growth to reverse climate change, according to a new report published by Deutsche Bank AG.In a presentation prepared for next week’s meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, strategists led by Jim Reid noted that economic growth has been a “wonderful asset” for [a relatively few of] humankind yet had come at some [!] cost. While global poverty has fallen [really?] and life expectancy soared in recent decades [it's falling in the U.S.], carbon emissions have increased and 21 of the hottest years on record occurred in the last 23, according to the report. The challenge for policy makers will be squaring the public’s growing appetite for tackling climate change with the fallout from trying to fix it by shaking up transportation, power generation and industry. The downsides could include unemployment, increased inequality and a possible debt-centred financial crisis, meaning assertive action would need to be managed carefully. [more]
Chinese woman with mystery virus quarantined in Thailand
https://www.yahoo.com/news/chinese-woman-mystery-virus-quarantined-110845303.html
A Chinese woman has been quarantined in Thailand with a mystery strain of coronavirus, authorities said on Monday, the first time it has been detected outside China.
Thai authorities are stepping up monitoring at airports ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday, beginning on Jan. 25, when hundreds of thousands of Chinese tourists are expected to visit.
A 61-year-old man died from pneumonia, a symptom of the disease, in the central Chinese city of Wuhan after an outbreak of the yet to be identified virus.
In total, 41 cases of pneumonia have been reported in China, which preliminary lab tests cited by Chinese state media show could be from a new type of coronavirus.
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that can cause infections ranging from the common cold to SARS. Some of the virus types cause less serious disease, while some like the one that causes MERS, are far more severe. [more]

The Wildfire Crisis Is Starting to Hurt Australian Companies
ReplyDeletehttps://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/wildfire-crisis-starting-hurt-australian-205645003.html
Retail
Weekly consumer confidence data tumbled to its lowest level in more than four years on Tuesday as the fires sat “front of mind” for Australians, according to a note from Ryan Felsman, a senior economist at the securities unit of Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
They also crippled a key shopping season.
Agriculture
Bega Cheese Ltd. said that while the fires have impacted farmers and employees, it sees minimal effects on the overall company, according to a statement from the dairy producer on Thursday.
Agricultural goods and services provider Elders Ltd. expects lower livestock agency commissions and farm supply sales, but sees any near-term losses to be offset by increased demand once rebuilding efforts start. [what rebuilding efforts? this article is optimistic and biased toward civilization continuing as normal, though this "new normal" they've never experienced before]
Tourism and Travel
Ingenia Communities Group, which offers camping, caravan and cabin accommodation up and down Australia’s east coast, as well as operating retirement living and lifestyle housing across the nation, expects its full-year results at the lower end of guidance, based on the expectation that sales at one of its communities on the New South Wales south coast will be affected.
Qantas Airways Ltd., the nation’s largest airline, hasn’t outlined any business impact from the fires, even as shares slid to a near two-month low last Monday after it canceled several flights to Canberra, the nation’s capital, due to smoke from nearby wildfires. Air travelers might face further issues as above-average temperatures persist.
Resources
Fires in Victoria’s East Gippsland have delayed work on Cooper Energy Ltd.’s Sole Gas Project, the company said last week.
In Western Australia, wildfires have closed highways used to access Independence Group NL’s Nova mine. The closures stymied deliveries and concentrate haulage, although the gold and nickel miner said Wednesday it doesn’t see a material impact to third quarter results. [more]

British Media Is Biased On Discussions Of Climate Change
https://www.yahoo.com/news/british-media-biased-discussions-climate-063000010.html
The scientist and journalist Matt Ridley has an interesting post about how British media is biased against rational discussion of climate change.
He explains the BBC policy that if anyone remotely skeptical of climate change appears on air they must be followed by someone who will counter what has been said. That is the case even if the skeptic is totally rational, makes arguments supported by mainstream scientific and socioeconomic opinion. What is worse is the person who allegedly comes afterwards to set the record straight can make all sorts of alarmist statements not supported by good science. [more; yeah, how about that?]

Australia is expected to face up to AU$5 billion (US$3.5 billion) in losses as fires continue to rage across the continent, according to an Australian Westpac bank forecast.
The natural disaster could also cut 0.2 to 0.5 percent of the country’s GDP, the bank said in its preliminary analysis released on Monday. The tourism and agricultural sectors have been hit hardest, while the most severely affected area accounts for around one percent of the nation’s economy. [more; probably an underestimate]
