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.

2020-05-24 - Scientists believe 'zombie fires' have been burning the Arctic underground for months and are now reactivating:
http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/world-news/scientists-fear-zombie-fires-been-22047413
http://www.newscientist.com/article/2243591-zombie-fires-are-burning-the-arctic-after-smouldering-under-snow/
http://www.theweathernetwork.com/ca/news/article/zombie-fires-spread-across-siberia-unusual-warmth-is-to-blame-climate-change
Quote: "If these are zombie fires and they are quite widespread in areas that were burning last summer, then, under the right environmental conditions, there may be a cumulative effect of the previous fire season feeding into this coming season and leading to large-scale and long-term fires across the region again."
Quote: "Zombie fires used to be so rare that there was no official record kept of them. That changed four years ago, when 16 were recorded in Alaska alone."
Note: This is another one of those things where once you see it happen once, it's likely to happen over and over again with increasing frequency and intensity. These fires release prodigious amounts of greenhouse gases, which will warm things up more, which will cause and exacerbate more fires, which will release more greenhouse gases, and so on and so on, another self-reinforcing feedback. This is more evidence that the Arctic carbon bomb is now detonating. By the time it's done detonating there will be no human beings left alive on the surface of the Earth...

2020-05-24 - Rare extreme weather event lashes much of Western Australia, worst storm in a decade:
http://watchers.news/2020/05/24/rare-extreme-weather-event-western-australia-worst-decade/
Hello Jonny, and all readers of JJFH today.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful weather for Memorial Day yesterday. Our neighbors across the street invited us over to barbecue and we had a lovely time with some bean-bag toss game called (of all things) cornhole and eating out(side). We started with masks, but after a short while removed them figuring, hey, they're not sick and neither are we so . . .
How the hell does a septic tank explode?
Most people are concerned with the Covid-19 story and are ignoring (or forgot all about) climate change, which continues unabated. [as we'll see below, Mr. Snyder is one of these]
This Should Be A Major Wake Up Call For Every Single Person Living On The Planet
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/this-should-be-a-major-wake-up-call-for-every-single-person-living-on-the-planet
If you haven’t figured it out by now, this coronavirus is definitely not an “end of the world” scenario. Yes, more than 300,000 people around the globe have died so far, and the final death toll will be even higher, but this isn’t like the Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918 to 1920 that took the lives of somewhere between 50 million and 100 million victims worldwide.
So that is good news, but the bad news is that the lockdowns instituted by our political leaders have burst all of our economic bubbles and have completely wrecked the global economy. [more]
Sir David Attenborough: 'Coronavirus pandemic has swept climate change off the front pages'

The broadcaster and naturalist, who celebrated his 94th birthday in May, said the outbreak has made the issue feel as if it is in "the distant future".
Sir David is the first guest to appear on the So Hot Right Now podcast, about communication and climate change.
His episode will be available from Tuesday on all podcast platforms. [more]

Brace for Blackouts in the Summer of COVID-19
https://www.yahoo.com/news/brace-blackouts-summer-covid-19-074830886.html
Quarantine is about to take a dark new twist.
Hot weather blackouts have long plagued neighborhoods and towns from New York to California to Texas. But now experts are warning that millions of Americans who are working from home or are unemployed—cranking their air conditioners as the temperature rises on sunny days—will only strain transmission lines and transformers further.
the power infrastructure in residential areas is typically designed to accommodate heavy use in the early mornings and evenings, with hours to cool off during the day. Consumption patterns in these districts have already changed during the crisis, with demand spiking in the daytime. Overall usage is already up by an average of 7 percent in New York City apartments, and by 15 to 20 percent in homes in California.
As the summer heat peaks, and juice-sucking air conditioners remain on through the afternoon, the risk of failure in aged transformers and other equipment increases. [more]

The COVID-19 Symptom You Might Catch—Even If You Don't Get the Virus
ReplyDeletehttps://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/covid-19-symptom-might-catch-115000099.html
During the COVID-19 pandemic, much of the emphasis on how the highly infectious and potentially deadly virus damages your health has been focused on the physical aspects. However, according to researchers, there is another way coronavirus can be devastating to your health for many years to come—even if you are never infected with it.
A new study led by the Yale School of Public Health published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has found that the life-altering effects of the coronavirus pandemic are likely to result in long-lasting physical and mental health consequences for many people—particularly those from vulnerable populations.

Indian and Bangladesh mango fields devastated by cyclone Amphan
https://www.sott.net/article/435082-Indian-and-Bangladesh-mango-fields-devastated-by-cyclone-Amphan
At least 22 deaths have been reported from eight coastal districts in Bangladesh until Thursday noon as the storm tore down homes and foliage while ravaging the power supply. Initial government estimates put the figure of damage incurred by housing, infrastructure, fisheries and livestock, water resources and agriculture in Bangladesh at Tk 11 billion (€121 mln).
Bdnews24.com reported that in several districts in the west and south-west of the country, thousands of hectares of lands are used for the cultivation of mangoes. Primary data indicates the cyclone laid waste to 176,000 hectares of crop yields across the country, Agriculture Minister Abdur Razzaque said an online media briefing. The government estimates that the storm damaged 10 percent of the 7,384 hectares used to cultivate mangoes.
The Bengal horticultural department said that around 38,000 tons of mangoes were destroyed when Cyclone Amphan had sliced through Malda district on Wednesday night. The cyclone cut a swathe through Malda before entering Bangladesh.
"Amphan has spelt a doom for mango cultivators. The growers had already suffered losses as they could not carry out maintenance of trees and fruits in the absence of labourers because of the ongoing lockdown. Semi-ripe mangoes fell from the trees because of pest attack. The cyclone has damaged whatever fruits were left on the trees," said Ujjwal Saha, the secretary of the Malda Mango Merchants' Association. [more]
Coronavirus fact-check #5: Infection-fatality ratio update

[of course it isn't over yet either . ..]
Far from the 3.4% predicted by the WHO back February, or the 1% used by the Imperial Model, all the serological studies done to this point average out at about 0.2%.
Although the numbers do vary from place to place - as you'd expect given changes in demographics, healthcare, methodology, sampling, population density etc. - it's easy to see that not a single one of them comes anywhere near the 3.4% "officially" listed by the WHO, or even the 1% used in the Imperial model.

“Last month we put a 20 per cent smaller-sized brick on that pile that has thousands of bricks already on it. That one slightly smaller brick is not going to make a big difference.”

Does science support miracles? New study documents a blind woman's healing
https://www.sott.net/article/435102-Does-science-support-miracles-New-study-documents-a-blind-womans-healing
The study details the medical history of a woman who was blind for more than a dozen years from juvenile macular degeneration, an incurable condition. She had attended a school for the blind, used a white cane for mobility, and read braille.
One night at bedtime her husband, a Baptist pastor, got on his knees to pray. He put a hand on her shoulder as she laid on the bed. They were both crying as he prayed: "Oh, God! You can restore ... eyesight tonight, Lord. I know you can do it! And I pray you will do it tonight."
With that, she opened her eyes and saw her husband kneeling in front of her. "I was blind when my husband prayed for me," she said. "Then just like this — in a moment, after years of darkness I could see perfectly. It was miraculous! ... Within seconds, my life had drastically changed. I could see, I could see!"
The woman's eyesight has remained intact for 47 years since the "proximal intercessory prayer" (PIP) — that is, Christian prayer for healing with accompanying touch. [more]

ReplyDeleteLatest DMT study addresses eerie prevalence of hallucinations of 'interdimensional entities'
https://www.sott.net/article/435089-Latest-DMT-study-addresses-eerie-prevalence-of-hallucinations-of-interdimensional-entities
Last month researchers released a new study on the hallucinogen DMT (or dimethyltryptamine) that provided fresh survey data on the phenomenon of DMT users experiencing and encountering sentient 'entities' while tripping. Scientists believe the findings could help to better understand near-death experiences and alien-abduction experiences, as well as develop treatments for mood and behavioral disorders.
The study involved surveying over 2,000 DMT users, the majority of whom claimed to have had positive encounters and even emotional exchanges with beings they felt were advanced and benevolent. Most of the users, upon coming down from the drug, felt the beings were real and not manufactured solely by a hallucination.
The survey produced the following additional data: 99% had an emotional response and of those, 58% believed the entity they encountered also had an emotional response and the feeling was overwhelmingly positive, though some reported instances of fear; 81% of respondents felt the 'entities' were real; and two-thirds believed they had received "a message, task, mission, purpose, or insight from the entity encounter experience."
Terrence McKenna who smoked DMT 30 to 40 times . . describes the DMT experience as a hyperdimensional reality that can not be described or "downloaded" by human language, "a fundament-ally different order than any other experience this side of the yawning grave."
Pharmacologist and medicinal chemist Dr. David Nichols said he could not discount the possibility that DMT really does grant some kind of extra-dimensional contact.
So the possibility that there are intelligences that exist at some other wavelength or in some other dimension or some other frequency I don't think is out of the realm of possibility at all." [more]

WHO: Second wave coronavirus ruled out, breaking with Gates' predictive model
ReplyDeletehttps://www.sott.net/article/435176-WHO-Second-wave-coronavirus-ruled-out-breaking-with-Gates-predictive-model
In a major development which cuts against Bill Gates' own policies and modeling, the director of Public Health of the World Health Organization (WHO) since 2005, María Neira, said Monday, May 25, 2020, the models they work with are "increasingly" ruling out a second major wave of the coronavirus. Her role is of particular importance to the operation of WHO in the EU.
Neira has nevertheless called for "great caution" and "common sense" in this "very critical" phase of the pandemic, that of the de-escalation, and, in statements to RAC-1, has requested that the population not have "paranoia nor excessive relaxation," and "learn to live with infectious diseases."

Was the mystery 'flaming' object spotted hurtling over Midlothian, UK a fireball?

Locals in Midlothian were left puzzled after spotting a mystery object hurtling through the sky and trailing smoke in its wake - so, we asked the experts what it was.
Videos and pictures emerged showing what witnesses described as a "flaming" object falling from the skies over Midlothian last week, on Thursday night.
"I thought it was something crashing, like a helicopter, but it didn't look like a helicopter. It looked like a half-circle, kind of like a capsule. There was a trail of orange smoke, and then there was no smoke, and it seemed to be spiralling down."
According to the International Meteor Organisation, fireballs appear similar to meteors but are even brighter and disintegrate to the point where they no longer produce light as they fall from the sky. [more]

In a ruling issued late on Friday, District Court Judge Brian Morris sided with environmental groups that had challenged the administration's 2018 policy reversal as well as three auctions in Montana and Wyoming in 2017 and 2018 that sold oil and gas leases in sage grouse habitat. [more]

ReplyDeleteHawk Nelson: Former Christian rocker reveals he no longer believes in God
https://www.yahoo.com/news/hawk-nelson-former-christian-rocker-153238067.html
The former lead singer of a Christian rock band revealed that he no longer believed in God in an Instagram post.
Jon Steingard, the frontman for Christian rock band Hawk Nelson, revealed in a note posted to Instagram he was renouncing his faith.
"I've been terrified to post this for a while - but I feel like it's time for me to be honest. After growing up in a Christian home, being a pastor's kid, playing and singing in a Christian band, and having the word Christian in front of most of the things in my life - I am now finding that I no longer believe in God," Mr Steingard said.
Throughout the letter, Mr Steingard discusses growing up deeply engrossed in cultural Christianity and explains how over time his faith began to wane as he developed doubts about the nature and reality of God.
Mr Steingard appears to hold agnostic views now, saying he was "open to the idea that God is there" but that if there was a God, "he is very different than what I was taught." [more]

Lockdown Suicide Data Reveal Predictable Tragedy
https://www.aier.org/article/lockdown-suicide-data-reveal-predictable-tragedy/
n March 28, the American Institute for Economic Research ran a terrifying article that didn’t receive the attention it deserved, even though the research behind it was impeccable and detailed. It was Drugs, Suicide, and Crime: Empirical Estimates of the Human Toll of the Shutdown. On suicide in particular, the article said the following:
Whether it is the direct unemployment effect or the potential poverty produced from the economic shutdown that leads to greater suicides, an increase from the 48,344 suicides and 1,400,000 suicide attempts in the US in 2018 should give decision-makers pause during their response to this pandemic.

In the face of a novel virus threat, China clamped down on its citizens. Academics used faulty information to build faulty models. Leaders relied on these faulty models. Dissenting views were suppressed. The media flamed fears and the world panicked.
