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.

2020-05-04 - Red tide and rotten egg odor hit coastal San Diego (California):

Quote: "Along the entire San Diego coastline, the smell has been causing problems for San Diego Gas & Electric. People have called them saying that they smelled gas, but it turns out it’s just the red tide."
Note: People thought they smelled gas because they smelled a rotten egg odor, but it was hydrogen sulfide. People are confusing the smell of hydrogen sulfide with the smell of the odorant added to natural gas, at low concentrations anyway. At high concentrations, people don't confuse hydrogen sulfide with anything, because they're too busy dying. The hydrogen sulfide is from ancient bacteria and archaea that produce hydrogen sulfide eating the dying red tide bacteria and anything that was killed by the red tide. This is the same thing that's been happening with blue-green algae and sargassum seaweed around the world. It wasn't until last year that France realized that people and animals were being killed by hydrogen sulfide along the Normandy Coast there. And right across the English Channel from France's Normandy Coast, an unknown poison gas blew ashore last year in Britain and sickened a bunch of people at a beach. That wasn't the first time that an unknown poison gas blew ashore and sickened people on beaches in Britain in recent times either...

Researcher 'on verge of making very significant' coronavirus findings shot to death
https://news.yahoo.com/researcher-verge-making-very-significant-030320409.html
A medical researcher said to be on the “verge of making very significant” coronavirus findings was found shot to death over the weekend in Pennsylvania, officials said.
Bing Liu, 37, a researcher for the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, was found dead Saturday inside a home in Ross Township, north of Pittsburgh, the Allegheny County Medical Examiner said.
He had been shot in the head and neck, the agency said.
An hour after Liu's body was discovered, a second person, Hao Gu, 46, was found dead inside a car less than a mile away, the agency said.
Ross Township Police Detective Sgt. Brian Kohlhepp told the Associated Press that the men “appeared to be connected beyond their proximity to each other.” A motive for the killings remained unknown, and the relationship between the men was also unclear. [more]

Furthermore, the development of a vaccine relies on designing the antibodies to match perfectly to the specific 'Spikes' on the outside of the virus. If these are mutated, any potential vaccine might not be specific enough to target that strain. Receiving the vaccine would provide no guarantee of immunity. This possibility is especially worrying to the study's authors. [more]
The failed experiment of social distancing
https://www.sott.net/article/433933-The-failed-experiment-of-social-distancing
After a two-month trial, researchers are collecting early outcomes of the Great American Social Distancing Experiment of 2020.
The results, to say the least, ain't pretty — and the "experts" who initiated this experiment on 330 million well-meaning but unwitting test subjects are starting to admit failure.
Dr. Scott Gottlieb, former head of the Food and Drug Administration and a lead booster of social distancing, admitted Sunday that the draconian measures aren't working as the experts promised.
"The concerning thing here is that we're looking at the prospect that this may be a persistent spread," Gottlieb said on CBS News' "Face the Nation," further noting 20,000 to 30,000 new reported cases per day despite intense lockdown orders in most states.
"While mitigation didn't fail, I think it's fair to say that it didn't work as well as we expected," he said. "We expected that we would start seeing more significant declines in new cases and deaths around the nation at this point, and we're just not seeing that." [more; possibly because of the continuing mutation of this virus and the fact that people walk around contagious yet show no symptoms]
[the other problems are that statistics can't work when every country is UNDER COUNTING their infection and death rates and that testing is haphazard rather than widespread]

'The largest hail reported occurred in Jackson County between Potato Creek and Wanblee, where tennis ball- to baseball-sized hail was reported,' the NWS said.
Hail larger than 1 inch in diameter and wind gusts of up to 58mph were reported in multiple locations.
But the largest hail fell near Potato Creek, where it measured 2.75 inches in diameter.
In Tennessee, storms with high winds swept through the state knocking down trees and power lines, causing one death and leaving more than 100,000 customers without power, officials said.

Understanding how natural hazards impact our upper atmosphere and cause variations in the space environment
https://watchers.news/2020/05/06/understanding-how-natural-hazards-impact-our-upper-atmosphere-and-cause-variations-in-the-space-environment/
A new study shows that natural hazards on Earth, specifically earthquakes and tsunamis, can create much more disturbances in the ionosphere than previously assumed. The researchers studied the catastrophic 2011 M9.0 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan, and found that the ionosphere over the country was significantly affected.
This study reports that the ionospheric responses to the Tohoku tsunami and its subsequent disturbances last for many hours, and the induced gravity waves can significantly impact the ionosphere and thermosphere system.
The extended effects have important implications for space weather applications and should be taken into consideration for future space weather forecasts. [more]

Zero-emission tractors, cattle that belch less gas can help curb global warming - McKinsey
https://www.yahoo.com/news/zero-emission-tractors-cattle-belch-230000711.html
Using zero-emission farm machinery, breeding cattle that produce less methane and employing other new technologies could significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions from farms, a report by consultancy McKinsey said on Wednesday.
Agriculture, one of the world's biggest greenhouse gas contributors, is projected to account for about 20% of total emissions in the next 20 years, mostly methane produced by belching cattle and rice paddy fields.
Levels are rising as more food is grown to feed an expanding global population.
Environmental groups are urging consumers to reduce the amount of beef and lamb they eat, which could have the biggest impact on emissions, said the McKinsey report. Cutting food waste and reducing deforestation would also help, it said. [more]

As Recycling Dwindles, Supply Chains Are Buckling
https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/recycling-dwindles-supply-chains-buckling-000036982.html
When stay-at-home orders shuttered offices across the U.S. last month, one industry was especially hard hit: toilet-paper makers. Just as consumer demand for their product surged during the lockdown, they lost access to the cheap recycled office paper that’s typically used to make toilet rolls. That induced some of the world's biggest makers to switch to pulp sourced directly from trees, adding significant costs and harming the environment.It was one small example of the widespread disruption that the virus is causing for the recycling business, and thus for the entire economy.

At least one person died in a fiery wreck along the eastbound Schuylkill Expressway in Philadelphia Wednesday morning.
Traffic back up for miles approaching the scene as crews spent hours investigating before opening the highway to traffic again.
A load of produce fell onto a roadway below an overpass in Fairmount Park.
The crash happened around 2:30 a.m. in the eastbound lanes near Girard Avenue when at least one car and the big rig collided. The tractor-trailer caught fire and its load of produce and parts of the burnt wreckage dropped onto Sweetbriar Drive below the highway overpass in Fairmount Park.

The Bible Says That There Will Be Famines In The Last Days
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-bible-says-that-there-will-be-famines-in-the-last-days
Could it be possible that the stage is being set for horrific famines that the Bible has been warning us about for nearly 2,000 years? A few years ago, any talk of “coming famines” would have seemed absolutely ludicrous to most people in the western world, but the events of the last several months have changed everything. Now, the UN is openly warning that famines of “biblical proportions” could be on the way, and the head of the UN World Food Program is telling us that we could soon see 300,000 people literally starve to death every single day. Nightmarish droughts, African Swine Fever, COVID-19 and armies of locusts in Africa the size of major cities have combined to create a “perfect storm”, and global food supplies are becoming tighter with each passing month.
As conditions continue to deteriorate, many are starting to wonder if certain prophetic passages in the Bible are starting to come to fruition. For example, in Matthew 24:7 Jesus specifically warned us that there would be “famines” in the days immediately preceding His return… [more]

The head of Sweden's no-lockdown coronavirus plan said the country's heavy death toll 'came as a surprise'
https://www.yahoo.com/news/head-swedens-no-lockdown-coronavirus-100111923.html
The head of Sweden's coronavirus response said in a new interview that the country's high death toll had "come as a surprise" and was "really something we worry a lot about."
The state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell told "The Daily Show" that the Swedish strategy had still been successful in many ways.
But he said the no-lockdown strategy was not a conscious decision in favor of more deaths — instead he said the outsize toll was not part of the plan.
About half of Sweden's deaths have been in nursing homes, which prohibit visitors. Tegnell said health officials had thought it would be easier to keep the disease away from them.
