Event Update For 2020-06-18





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.

2020-06-18 - Zombie fires and fire thunderstorms hit the Arctic as record heatwave heads into sixth month:

http://arctic-news.blogspot.com/2020/06/2020-siberian-heatwave-continues.html

Note: Beyond a certain point it's not a heatwave anymore, it's just the new normal. Six months of record heat - maybe this is just the new normal, for now anyway. Obviously things will get even warmer and more fiery as the current extinction event continues. I have no idea how much of the coming destruction we'll be around to see though, because humanity's hourglass is running out of sand pretty rapidly at this point...

    All-cause mortality during COVID-19: No plague and a likely signature of mass homicide by government response
    https://www.researchgate.net/publication/341832637_All-cause_mortality_during_COVID-19_No_plague_and_a_likely_signature_of_mass_homicide_by_government_response

    Summary / Abstract

    The latest data of all-cause mortality by week does not show a winter-burden mortality that is statistically larger than for past winters. There was no plague. However, a sharp "COVID peak" is present in the data, for several jurisdictions in Europe and the USA. This all-cause-mortality "COVID peak" has unique characteristics:
    Its sharpness, with a full-width at half-maximum of only approximately 4 weeks;
    Its lateness in the infectious-season cycle, surging after week-11 of 2020, which is unprecedented for any large sharp-peak feature;
    The synchronicity of the onset of its surge, across continents, and immediately following the WHO declaration of the pandemic;
    and its USA state-to-state absence or presence for the same viral ecology on the same territory, being correlated with nursing home events and government actions rather than any known viral strain discernment.

    These "COVID peak" characteristics, and a review of the epidemiological history, and of relevant knowledge about viral respiratory diseases, lead me to postulate that the "COVID peak" results from an accelerated mass homicide of immune-vulnerable individuals, and individuals made more immune-vulnerable, by government and institutional actions, rather than being an epidemiological signature of a novel virus, irrespective of the degree to which the virus is novel from the perspective of viral speciation.

    As if we didn’t have enough already going on in 2020, now we are facing the possibility that several regional wars may erupt. China and India had both been pouring troops into a disputed border region, and now there has been an incident where they were actually killing each other. On the Korean peninsula, North Korea just blew up “a joint liaison office” that it had used for talks with the South Korean government. And in the Middle East, Turkey is warning of grave consequences if Israel goes ahead with a plan to annex portions of Judea and Samaria. [war]

And that managed to break the bear loose and she ran inside," said Capt. Patrick Foy of the California Fish and Wildlife Department. [more]

  7. Heeeyyyy! Still kickin':) Something weird going on with the water temp in Lake Ontario. Last week the thermometer on the boat was reading 51f and yesterday the reading was 75f near Port Whitby Marina. I wasn't the only boater to notice, suggesting that it wasn't an instrument error. That is an unusually short period of time for the temp to climb that fast. By the end of the summer the highest I've seen has been around 82f. Hopefully the trend doesn't continue and it's not related to the 2 npp's just south of here or the fault line that runs through the center of the lake. I think it's definitely under strain judging by the positive relief features on the bottom of the lake and Toronto's unique(as far as I know) bedrock problem. The bedrock problem is that if you make a hole in it for a foundation it must be taken into account that the bedrock will swell, shrinking the size of the hole a certain amount, otherwise the foundation will be crushed. While although I can't think of any good reason why the temp would climb that fast, a npp or a fault line are 2 of the worst reasons I can think of for a rapid temp increase.

    ...anyway, cheers to survivin' another week!

  8. Whoa, you aren't kidding, it takes a HUMONGOUS amount of energy to raise water temps by 24F in one week. That can't possibly be because of higher air temps, so that only leaves heat from below.
