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.

2020-07-30 - Gigantic hole in the ground from melting permafrost is growing in Siberia (Russia):
http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/07/siberia-s-gateway-underworld-grows-record-heat-wave-thaws-permafrost
http://www.bbc.co.uk/reel/video/p08lmh4z/siberia-s-enormous-hole-in-the-ground-is-getting-bigger
Quote: "Global warming is inflicting wounds across Siberia. Outbursts of pent-up methane gas in thawing permafrost have pocked Russia’s desolate Yamal and Gydan peninsulas with holes tens of meters across. Apartment buildings are listing and collapsing on the unsteady ground, causing about $2 billion of damage per year to the Russian economy. Forest fires during the past three summers have torched millions of hectares across Siberia, blanketing the land with dark soot and charcoal that absorb heat and accelerate melting."

http://www.shortpedia.com/en-in/miscellaneous-news/natural-toxins-produced-by-bactria-may-be-the-reason-behind-botswana-elephant-deaths-1596193889
Quote: "Our main attention … is now on investigating broader environmental factors such as naturally produced toxins from bacteria that are found in the environment, such as water bodies."
Note: Say, hydrogen sulfide is a natural toxin produced by bacteria and found in the environment, such as water bodies. Most of these elephants were found dead near ponds and the like. A tiny amount of hydrogen sulfide can immediately kill a human being so it is no stretch to think that it could just as easily kill elephants. And many of these elephants showed signs of neurological impairment before dying too. Hydrogen sulfide, probably not coincidentally, is a neurotoxin...

The changing Arctic Ocean
The Arctic Ocean is becoming more like the Atlantic and Pacific, studies say
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2020/08/the-changing-arctic-ocean.html
A new Arctic Ocean is emerging with more algae blooms, bigger waves and more similarities to the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, according to a series of recently released studies.
Blame — or credit — should go at least in part to the loss of sea ice and in the seas peripheral to the Arctic Ocean and the increase in heat that those peripheral seas are sending north, the separate studies say.
“In many respects, the Arctic Ocean now looks like a new ocean,” Igor Polyakov, an oceanographer with the University of Alaska Fairbanks and a lead author of one of the studies, said in a statement released by the university. [more]

Apocalyptic Sky Sounds Baffle Experts During Corona Lockdown and Announce the Coming Social and Economic Collapse
https://strangesounds.org/2020/07/sounds-apocalypse-corona-lockdown-videos.html
During the months of lockdown, people have heard and recorded strange sounds seemingly emanating from the sky.
Some believe these are celestial trumpets heralding the apocalypse; there may be other explanations.
The sounds – heard in the US, Mexico, Slovakia, Italy, Brazil and Argentina – do not seem to correspond to angelic heralds.
Some resembled aircraft noises when there were no planes flying. A sound in Bratislava was described as “Darth Vader breathing”, while a recording from Colorado was like a shrieking whistle. Another recorded over several evenings at Lake Garda was more of a vibration. [more; videos]

“The USSR experimented on humans and animals with 5G in 1977, 1972 and 1997. A proper military experiment. The humans suffered metabolic problems, ie everything started to fall apart, blood problems, immune system dysfunction, severe medical and neurological problems. With animals, since they were able to dissect them, they found the bone marrow was suffering (which produces the immune system), respiration damaged, enzyme activity damaged, nuclear dna damaged, and the total exposure time was only 15 hours over 60 days. Roughly 15 minutes a day and the levels were not high. Not as high as you are going to get in a classroom.” …. Dr Barrie Trower [more]

Fires in Brazil's Amazon rainforest surge in July, worst in recent days
ReplyDeletehttps://www.yahoo.com/news/fires-brazils-amazon-rainforest-surge-133655559.html
The number of fires in Brazil's Amazon rainforest jumped 28% in July from a year ago, official data showed on Saturday, as some environmentalists warned a jump this week could signal a repeat of last year's surging destruction of the world's largest rainforest.
Brazil's space research agency Inpe recorded 6,803 fires in the Amazon last month, up from 5,318 in July 2019.
Although that is a three-year high for July, the figure pales in comparison to last year's peak of 30,900 fires in August – a 12-year high for that month.
Still, environmental groups say there are worrying signs of what may come, with the final days of the month showing a sharp spike. More than 1,000 fires were registered on July 30, the highest number for a single day in July since 2005, according to an analysis by advocacy group Greenpeace Brasil.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/microplastics-tiny-crustaceans-fragment-them-150600936.html
Microplastics are widespread in seas and oceans, and their harmful effects on many different marine animals are well known. However, we know relatively little about the microplastics in our freshwater rivers, streams and lakes. We still don’t know exactly where they come from, where they end up – and crucially – what damage they can cause if they get into food chains.
Until now, plastic fragmentation had largely been attributed to processes such as sunlight or wave action, which can take years or decades. But it turns out a tiny shrimp-like creature can do the same job much faster. [more]

Herd immunity is the only long-term solution to Covid-19 but the idea has wrongly become “taboo”, a leading scientist has said.
The concept currently “provokes hostility and controversy” but it must be revisited, according to Raj Bhopal, emeritus professor of public health at Edinburgh University.
In a new article published in the journal Public Health in Practice, he argues that the Covid-19 pandemic has put ministers in a “zugwang” which is a position in chess where every move is disadvantageous and where every plan must be examined “however unpalatable” it might be. [more]

https://www.yahoo.com/news/boston-marathon-bomber-wins-death-192913454.html
[hey, maybe now they'll revisit the Sandy Hook black op]
A federal appeals court on Friday overturned Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's death sentence for helping carry out the 2013 attack, which killed three people and wounded more than 260 others.
Tsarnaev and his older brother set off a pair of homemade pressure-cooker bombs near the finish line of the world-renowned race, tearing through the packed crowd and causing many people to lose legs.
A three-judge panel of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld much of Tsarnaev's conviction but ordered a new trial over what sentence Tsarnaev should receive for the death penalty-eligible crimes he was convicted of.
U.S. Circuit Judge O. Rogeriee Thompson, writing for the court, said the trial judge "fell short" in conducting the jury selection process and screening jurors for potential bias following pretrial publicity surrounding the high-profile case. [more; he ain't goin' anywhere]

A small dog was rescued this week in Riverside County, California, after it was left in a hot car with a temperature of more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Riverside County Sheriff's Office shared a photo of Boomer, a puppy, on Facebook on Tuesday, revealing that his owner had been arrested for animal cruelty.
Officers were alerted to Boomer's predicament after a passerby heard the pup yelping from inside a car on Monday. At the time, it was 99 degrees Fahrenheit outside, the sheriff's office said.
"After realizing the dog was not moving and in distress, he rescued the dog from the vehicle and rendered aid," the sheriff's office said in its Facebook statement. Officers placed Boomer into an air-conditioned patrol car upon arrival, and the dog has been given to the Ramona Humane Society in San Jacinto, California.
Sheriffs deputies noted the inside temperature of the car Boomer was left inside reached 131 degrees Fahrenheit, according to a photo of the thermometer shared by the sheriff's office on Facebook.
