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.

http://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/climate-change-scientists-find-another-threat-to-greenlands-glaciers-lurking-beneath-the-ice/ar-BBZCpNd
Quote: "Scientists have long known that higher air temperatures are contributing to the surface melting on Greenland's ice sheet. But a new study has found another threat that has begun attacking the ice from below: Warm ocean water moving underneath the vast glaciers is causing them to melt even more quickly."
Quote: "Much of the Arctic experienced record temperatures last summer, which caused Greenland's ice sheet to lose 11 billion tons of surface ice to the ocean in just one day, scientists said. That is the equivalent of 4.4 million Olympic swimming pools."
Quote: "Mass loss from Greenland's ice sheet is currently the single largest driver of sea level rise globally, and according to a study published in December in the journal Nature, Greenland's ice sheet is currently melting seven times faster than it was in 1992. This ice sheet holds enough water to raise global sea levels by more than 24 feet."

Greetings Jonny and all readers of JJFH today.
ReplyDeleteSerious uptick in coronavirus deaths, cases and spread as "accidentally released" figures emerge from China.
Your post today shows that coronavirus deaths are being added to all those people dropping dead, having medical episodes that lead to accidents, drowning, seizures and death all over the world.
Let's get right to it.
Thursday, 6 February 2020
Coronavirus: Day 38: Feb 6th: Accidentally released real data? Almost 25,000 deaths and more than 150,000 infected: "Official figures" almost 30,000 infected in China, 563 deaths,: 30 hour old baby infected
http://www.thebigwobble.org/2020/02/coronavirus-day-38-feb-6th-accidentally.html
Tencent, a multinational tech conglomerate, reportedly listed figures for the coronavirus on Saturday showing that more than 154,000 were infected and a death toll of 24,589 - more than ten times and 80 times the official figures respectively. The figures posted included 79,808 suspected cases - four times the official numbers - and the number of cured cases as 269, rather than 351. [more]
A dire prediction
A model cited by Hal Turner predicts by Feb. 16th, China will be virtually "done."
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2020/02/a-dire-prediction.html
This is what Hal Turner is saying. He seems to have some intel available to him that we don’t. Whatever, the news is all bad. Apparently they have had (fro memory) NINE doublings since this broke, or doubling every 3 or so days.
Are we getting a lesson about exponential change that we are not getting from abrupt climate change because it is comparatively slower ( although at breakneck speed on the geological scale)?
The Model used by Intelligence Agencies to predict real-world situations says that by Feb. 16th, China will be virtually "done." It will be a collapsed country.
The Model also says when China collapses, the global economy will collapse. Financial people are calling this a "Black Swan Event."
With respect to the United States and Europe, the Model says the US and the EU, by February 16th, will see first cities put into quarantine (or attempting to), leading to mass panic, riots, looting, all the other "cool" stuff that takes place when people panic.
Most horrifying, the Model says that by mid-April, the world as we know it, in terms of availability of food, supplies, goods and services, will be history. Massive infrastructure failures from lack of maintenance and/or lack of control, staffs thinned-out from sickness or dying off , basic services failing, and the like. The shear number of dead will have a tremendous impact on life as we know it. [more]

The Coronavirus Outbreak Shows “No Signs Of Slowing” As Crematoriums Burn Bodies 24 Hours A Day
ReplyDeletehttp://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-coronavirus-outbreak-shows-no-signs-of-slowing-as-crematoriums-burn-bodies-24-hours-a-day
The outbreak of this mysterious new coronavirus is getting more frightening with each passing day. As you will see below, even the mainstream media is admitting that the number of cases shows “no signs of slowing” even though the Chinese government has implemented draconian measures in a desperate attempt to contain the virus. Many in the western world continue to insist that this disease is not any more dangerous than the common flu, but the Chinese never locked down entire cities for the flu before. In recent days, the images that have been coming out of China have been absolutely horrifying. If these images are accurate, people are literally dropping dead in restaurants, in shopping malls and in public transportation hubs. At the epicenter of this outbreak, crematoriums in Wuhan are burning bodies 24 hours a day as they try to keep up with the flood of dead bodies coming in, and the workers at those facilities are completely and totally overwhelmed.

New Eruptions of Jorullo and ParÃcutin Volcanoes Ahead? More Than 1,800 Earthquakes Hit Michoacán-Guanajuato Volcanic Field, Mexico
https://strangesounds.org/2020/02/new-eruptions-jorullo-paricutin-volcanoes-mexico-after-earthquake-swarm-hit-michoacan-guanajuato-volcanic-field.html
The Michoacán–Guanajuato volcanic field contains 1400 vents, mostly cinder cones, spread over an area of 200 kilometers (120 miles) x 250 kilometers (160 miles) in Mexico. So it’s huge!
Over the last month, 1824 tremors were measured along the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt near Uruapan, Michoacán. This could indicate magma intrusion and a imminent eruption of the well-known Jorullo and ParÃcutin volcanoes. [more]
Dr. Francis Boyle did an interview with Owen Shroyer yesterday. He does now believe that coronavirus is a DNA engineered chimera that has in it HIV, flu, and SARS. Indian researchers discovered this. Oh, and a kill rate of 15%. I'll just add that this rate is among ethnic Chinese so far. People of other ethnicities seem to recover quite well. This is my observation and opinion. Of course it could end up mutating. No one else outside of the Chinese gene pool has died yet after two full months. Boyle points out again that the first case was on Dec 1st.

A powerful winter storm slammed the eastern U.S. on Thursday, February 6, 2020, spawning tornadoes in which one person was killed and another injured. The storm is shifting north along the spine of the Appalachians today, then across the Northeast Friday, February 7 while rapidly strengthening. Heavy snow and ice is expected north and west of the storm track. South of the storm, severe thunderstorms will again bring a risk of damaging winds and isolated tornadoes in the Southeast. Heavy rainfall poses a risk for flooding along the East Coast. [more]

Why Clouds Are the Key to New Troubling Projections on Warming
http://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2020/02/05/why-clouds-are-the-key-to-new-troubling-projections-on-warming/
An apparently settled conclusion about how sensitive the climate is to adding more greenhouse gases has been thrown into doubt by a series of new studies from the world’s top climate modeling groups.
it seems increasingly likely that they could become thinner or burn off entirely in a warmer world, leaving more clear skies through which the sun may add a degree Celsius or more to global warming.
the consensus has now been blown apart. Most leading climate models — including those from the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and Britain’s Hadley Center — are now calculating the climate’s sensitivity to doubling CO2 levels as a degree or more higher, ranging up to 5.6 degrees C (10 degrees F).

Tropical Cyclone "Damien" forms near Western Australia, severe impact expected on February 8
ReplyDeletehttps://watchers.news/2020/02/06/tropical-cyclone-damien-forms-near-western-australia-severe-impact-expected-on-february-8/
Tropical Cyclone "Damien" formed near Kimberley coast, Western Australia on Thursday, February 6, 2020. It is forecast to hit the Pilbara coast, WA as Category 3 cyclone on the Australian tropical cyclone scale on February 8. Very destructive wind gusts and very dangerous storm tide are expected, followed by likely very dangerous flooding. This is the third named storm of the 2019/20 Australian region cyclone season.

Air pollution from oil and gas production sites visible from space – U.S. and European satellites help scientists measure nitrogen dioxide from drilling, production, and flaring

Oil and gas production has doubled in some parts of the United States in the last two years, and scientists can use satellites to see impacts of that trend: a significant increase in the release of the lung-irritating air pollutant nitrogen dioxide, for example, and a more-than-doubling of the amount of gas flared into the atmosphere.

“Fast and dramatic” permafrost thaw will double previous estimates of potential carbon emissions – “Forests can become lakes in the course of a month”

Rapidly thawing permafrost in the Arctic has scientists worried. According to a new study published Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience, the ice that holds the soil together is melting, causing hillsides to collapse and massive sinkholes to open up as a result. And that dramatic disruption to the landscape is only part of the story — a bigger concern is the growing amount of carbon this process releases into the atmosphere. [more]

World’s biggest iceberg about to enter the open ocean
https://www.yahoo.com/news/worlds-biggest-iceberg-breaks-free-202056760.html
A vast iceberg which calved off an ice shelf three years ago is about to reach the open ocean.
The A-68 iceberg calved from the Larsen C ice shelf in 2017, at which point it weighed up to a trillion tonnes, and measured 2,300 square miles, a quarter of the size of Wales.
Since then it has drifted from Antarctica, edging towards the limit of the continent’s sea ice.
Experts say that it has lost very little of its record-breaking bulk since breaking away. [more]

Global ocean currents are speeding up more rapidly than scientists had anticipated — in part due to climate change, per a paper published Wednesday in Science Advances.
The trend is "much greater than the natural variability," the paper states. Due largely to faster surface winds, 76 percent of the top 2,000 meters of Earth's oceans show an increase in intensity of circulation, based on data from the past two decades. [more]
