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.

Violent Crime Is Surging Dramatically In Major Cities All Over America
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/violent-crime-is-surging-dramatically-in-major-cities-all-over-america
What we are witnessing all over the country right now is incredibly sad. In the aftermath of the tragic death of George Floyd, it would have been wonderful to see the entire nation unite behind an effort to make our society less violent, more just and more peaceful. But instead, we have seen a tremendous explosion of violence and lawlessness that doesn’t seem likely to end any time soon. Violent crime rates are surging in major city after major city, and the 4th of July weekend was particularly bad. At least 41 people were hit by gunfire in New York City during the holiday weekend, and this continues a trend that we have seen throughout the first half of 2020. Just check out these numbers…
Philadelphia is another major city that is seeing a massive increase in violent crime at the same time funding for the police is being cut back… [more]

Virus Almost Identical to Corona Found in Abandoned Mine Seven Years Ago
ReplyDeletehttps://strangesounds.org/2020/07/coronavirus-closest-ancestor-abandoned-mine-china.html
A virus 96 per cent identical to the coronavirus that causes Covid-19 was found in an abandoned mine in China seven years ago.
The bat-infested copper mine in Mojiang, western China, was home to a coronavirus that left six adult men sick with pneumonia and three of them dead. [so maybe their scientists used that and enhanced it to become Covid-19]
Scientists took samples from the bats’ faeces, found on the cave floor, and stored them in a laboratory 1,000 miles away in Wuhan for years while studying them. [oh, they DID!]
That virus, named RaBtCoV/4991 at the time, now appears to be the closest relative to SARS-Cov-2, which is causing Covid-19

Straw yields are also predicted to reduce - by nearly 25%. Teagasc says that 1.6 million fewer (straw) bales will be available in the country this year. [more]

More than 400 people have been evacuated from a coastal village in the central Philippines after about 250,000 liters (66,000 gallons) of bunker fuel spilled from a power-generating barge into the sea, an official said Monday.

Grim Day for Pipelines Shows They’re Almost Impossible to Build
https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/demise-gas-project-shows-u-113000532.html
The Dakota Access ruling marks the first time a court has shut down a major, in-service pipeline for environmental concerns, Southern Methodist University energy law professor James W. Coleman said. The decision upends conventional wisdom that judges would always preserve the status quo by keeping projects in service, and will spur pipeline opponents to look for opportunities to shut down other existing projects, he said.

'Renewable' natural gas may sound green, but it's not an antidote for climate change
https://www.yahoo.com/news/renewable-natural-gas-may-sound-121145451.html
There’s an emerging argument that maybe there could be a direct substitute for fossil natural gas in the form of renewable natural gas (RNG) – a renewable fuel designed to be nearly indistinguishable from fossil natural gas. RNG could be made from biomass or from captured carbon dioxide and electricity.
Based on what’s known about these systems, however, I believe climate benefits might not be as large as advocates claim.

[the alligator is in critical condition . . . aah, no]
The woman was trimming plants near the edge of the gated community's pond when the gator latched onto her leg and pulled her into the water, S.C. Department of Natural Resources spokesman David Lucas said Sunday.
A man passing by on a golf cart was unaware a gator was involved but saw the woman in obvious distress in the pond.
"He ran to the pond and jumped in," Lucas said. "He got his arms around her and pulled. He felt resistance at first but thought that was her weight."
The man realized something had the woman as the gator pulled them both under water briefly, Lucas said.
"It then let loose and they came back up," Lucas said. "He was able to pull her out of the water."
Lucas said the woman has several fractures to her leg and some "pretty bad" lacerations.
She has already undergone one surgery and more are expected, Lucas said.

Major noctilucent clouds outbreak over Europe
https://watchers.news/2020/07/06/major-noctilucent-clouds-outbreak-over-europe/
Observers across Europe, from Scandinavia to the Adriatic coast, are reporting major noctilucent clouds (NLC) outbreak on July 5 and 6, 2020. The outbreak comes on the heels of July 4th sighting over southern California, U.S. -- where in 2019 a record was set for the lowest-latitude NLC appearance in known history. The 2020 northern hemisphere season is fueled by record cold temperatures in the atmosphere, and as it seems -- they might spill even further south. [more]
