Jumping Jack Flash Hypothesis: It's A Gas Gas Gas: Event Update For 2020-01-23

Event Update For 2020-01-23

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.

2020-01-23 - Unknown odor hits large area near Lake Ontario in and around Webster (New York):
http://www.whec.com/news/webster-bad-smell/5622408/

Quote: "Many Webster residents are wondering what is causing the smell in Webster. The Webster Highway Department says it seems to cover a large area, from Route 250 to Whiting Road, as far north as Lake Ontario. Officials in Webster want to reassure residents that they are investigating to try and find out what the smell is and if it’s harmful."

http://www.dw.com/en/australia-bushfires-send-co2-levels-soaring/a-52133656

Quote: "Catastrophic wildfires in Australia are pushing global carbon dioxide levels to new highs, scientists have warned. The UK’s Met Office predicted 2020 would see one of the largest annual jumps of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere since records began, with the raging bushfires blamed for up to a fifth of the increase."

Quote: "The historic wildfires in Australia likely unleashed about 900 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, equivalent to nearly double the country's total yearly fossil fuel emissions, according to scientists."

Quote: "Similar concentrations of CO2 were last seen in the Earth's atmosphere between 3 million and 5 million years ago, scientists say. Back then, sea levels were 10 meters to 20 meters (33 feet to 65 feet) higher than today, with temperatures some 2 to 3 degrees Celsius (3.6 to 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer."

Note: The 'catastrophe curve' continues to steepen. This is a chain reaction in action. The wildfires spew huge amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, which causes more and bigger fires, which spew even more CO2 into the atmosphere, which causes even more and even bigger fires, etc, etc, until everything on the surface of the Earth that CAN burn has burned. We've still got a ways to go though. There are still plenty of unburned homes, businesses, vehicles, fields and forests to provide fuel as the planetary burnathon continues to escalate...

Quote: The number of cases of patients infected with the new coronavirus as of January 23 has gone up to 830, while the death toll from the virus has risen to 25, the National Health Commission announced on Friday."

Quote: "The first-level public health emergency envisages mobilization of personnel, government departments and enterprises in fighting against the outbreak, as well as using all necessary materials and resources. In order to prevent the spread of the outbreak, local governments may cancel public events, temporarily suspend the operation of companies and educational institutions, restrict access to potentially dangerous areas, make temporary requisitions for houses, cars, equipment and other resources.Local authorities may also restrict the freedom of movement and migration, institute epidemiological screening for people and transport, put residents into quarantine if they are suspected to have contracted the virus."

Note: Looks like they're heading toward martial law, soldiers on the streets and complete lockdown. The death rate is now a little over 3 percent according to those stats. Getting closer to the low-end estimate (4 percent) of the 1918 Spanish flu death rate...

As expected, Jonny, this new virus is raging out of control and could become a global pandemic this year. There are probably hundreds of infected people (fellow passengers of infected people that got through the flimsy airport security checks) who show no signs of illness, due to the incubation period of this thing, walking around spreading it unknowingly.

Every day the number of infected and dead people rises. Listen to Kevin's latest BBN episode where he talks about it.

Access to test kits has been reserved for those with the most severe symptoms, and reports suggest hospitals in affected areas outside Wuhan also have limited access to them.

The reports come as doctors say they face a "flooding" of patients and not enough protective gear, and the city of Wuhan scrambles to build a brand new hospital in just six days to treat the virus. [more]

Elephant kills 2 persons in Odisha, India - record 102 such deaths for the year in state
https://www.sott.net/article/427961-Elephant-kills-2-persons-in-Odisha-India-record-102-such-deaths-for-the-year-in-state

The man- elephant conflict in Odisha seems to be worsening by the day with a district in Odisha on Friday declaring shutting down of about 600 schools in a mineral-rich district after a stray tusker [roll the final r] killed 2 persons on Thursday evening.

As the agitated villagers tried to drive it away lighting torches and bursting firecrackers, the tusker ran into Sankachila village where it tossed 62-year-old Chintamani Ram and trampled upon the head of 55-year-old Iswar Das, both of them snacks sellers from a nearby village. Both of them immediately died. At least 10 other villagers were also injured in the stampede as the elephant rampaged through.[more]

Minas Gerais Civil Defence reported 14 people have died in the Greater Belo Horizonte area . . Civil Defence added that 7 people have been injured and around 3,500 evacuated or left homeless.

Roads were turned to rivers as flood water raged through streets of the Greater Belo Horizonte area. Flooding and landslides damaged or destroyed buildings, including a city hospital.

Storm Gloria causes major damage to agriculture in Spanish regions of Murica and Valencia
https://www.sott.net/article/427933-Storm-Gloria-causes-major-damage-to-agriculture-in-Spanish-regions-of-Murica-and-Valencia

Many vegetable fields in the Spanish Region of Murcia have been flooded after more than two days of intense rainfall.

The abundant water covering part of the leafy vegetable crops, as well as the broccoli, cauliflower and artichoke fields, is making it difficult to carry out the harvesting tasks. For many producers, it will be impossible to enter the fields in the next few days, so delays in harvests and shipments are expected.

The intense cold and the cloudy days are slowing down the vegetative growth, which is taking a toll on the supply. This is significant, taking into account that Murcia is the main producer for this type of vegetables in Europe during the winter months. Broccoli and cauliflower prices are the ones that have risen the most so far since the temperatures started falling. [more]
