Event Update For 2020-07-03






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.

2020-07-03 - Unknown nerve agent suspected as the cause of hundreds of elephants dying in Botswana:
http://www.yahoo.com/news/hundreds-elephants-die-mysteriously-botswana-160803566.html
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/07/01/hundreds-elephants-die-mysteriously-botswana-prompting-fears/

Quote: "'They often die so quickly that they fall onto their chest and front legs, like they had been shot in the brain by a hunter. The fact that some living elephants were seen to be losing their motor functions seems to indicate that this toxin, whatever it is, is affecting their nervous system,' Dr McCann added. "

Note: Hydrogen sulfide fits all the symptoms and all the criteria. The dying 'like they had been shot in the brain by a hunter' part sounds like the way hydrogen sulfide can kill in concentrations higher than 1 part per 1000. You take one breath and die so fast that you're dead before your body hits the ground, usually falling forward and face-planting as your knees buckle. That's called the 'slaughterhouse sledgehammer effect'...

2020-07-03 - Extreme high-precipitation events happening more often and with greater intensity as the world continues warming:

Quote: "'The devastating floods that we have seen are consistent with an increase in extreme weather events due to climate change,' said Liu Junyan, a Greenpeace East Asia campaigner."

2020-07-03 - Fossil fuel industry leaking massive amounts of methane into the atmosphere:
http://www.yahoo.com/news/satellite-data-exposes-massive-methane-230000379.html
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-climatechange-methane-satellites-insi-idUSKBN23W3K4
http://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Satellite-Data-Exposes-A-Massive-Methane-Problem.html

Quote: "Reuters has reported that satellites by the European Space Agency have detected huge plumes of methane leaking from the 2,607-mile-long Yamal pipeline that transports natural gas from Siberia to Europe."

Note: This may be a self-reinforcing feedback of a sort. The methane causes warming, the warming melts the permafrost, and the subsiding ground destroys pipelines and buildings, which causes more leaks, which causes more warming, and so on and so on. Melting permafrost just caused a huge fuel storage tank to collapse in this same area last month, which dumped 20,000 tons of fuel into a nearby river, with estimates that it will take a decade for that river to recover. So it's not just methane leakage occurring, but infrastructure is deteriorating generally, and some of that deterioration is causing huge methane leaks, and other environmental calamities too...

    Arctic Oil Infrastructure Faces Climate Karma

    rising Arctic temperatures strike at the heart of the Russian economy, which is largely built upon the extraction of oil and gas. Rising temperatures are melting the permafrost and impairing its ability to support structures built on it. The changes threaten the “structural stability and functional capacities” of oil industry infrastructure, according to the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate report adopted in September by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

    If the northern latitudes continue warming as they are, the implications will be grave for all of us. [more]

That perception in turn undermined confidence in fossil fuels and, as climate change worsened, helped set the stage for a widespread boom in the renewable-energy business. Now that business is itself under scrutiny — and for some of the same practices. [more; meet the new boss - same as the old boss]

    Fire season could bring complications to states already battling Covid-19
    https://www.yahoo.com/news/fire-season-could-bring-complications-110020283.html

    As states begin to hit their peak wildfire season, experts and officials are warning about another level of concern this year: air pollution that threatens to increase Covid-19 in states already struggling with an explosion in cases.

    Above normal significant large fire potential is expected in California, Nevada and the Pacific Northwest as states enter their peak season, which begins in July and lasts through August, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. The Southwestern region, including Arizona, is also expecting above average fire activity.

    “What is important for people to know is because Covid-19 primarily affects the lungs, then people are going to be more likely to develop severe symptoms if they have certain types of respiratory diseases,” said Marcia Castro, chair of the Department of Global Health and Population at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. “And those respiratory diseases can be made much worse because of pollutants due to fires.”
