"If we pursue our present fatal path, you will drive the ignorant to support coups d'état at one moment, and swell the forces of street rioters at the next, and we shall be left exposed to the pitiless fury of irresponsible mobs trying to avenge themselves by looting among the ruins." -- Léon Gambetta

Event Update For 2020-08-29
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.

2020-08-29 - Another massive methane explosion creates another gigantic crater, the biggest so far, on the Yamal Peninsula in Siberia (Russia):

Quote: "A huge crater has appeared in Russia’s Arctic region following a massive explosion. Scientists believe the 165ft-deep hole was caused by the eruption of a build-up of methane gas beneath the thawing permafrost following record temperatures over the summer. It was reportedly initially spotted by chance by a television crew flying over the Yamal peninsula on their way back from an unrelated job in July. Blocks of ice and soil were scattered hundreds of metres from the epicentre by the force of the blast, according to scientists who studied the site after it was discovered by Vesti Yamal TV."
Quote: "Due to a buildup in methane in a rapidly heating Siberian permafrost, an explosion occurred that tossed boulders of frozen soil and ice 'hundreds of metres' into the sky from the epicenter of the blast in the Yamal Penninsula."
Quote: "It’s thought gas was released in soil which has been frozen for thousands of years but is now starting to defrost."
Quote: "Climate models considering only gradual permafrost thaw are substantially underestimating carbon emissions from thawing permafrost."
Quote: "After Vesti Yamal TV discovered the deep crater, scientists travelled out there to examine it. They reckon it's the biggest hole they've seen like this. One of those scientists, Dr Evgeny Chuvilin, a leading researcher at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, said that the crater was 'striking in its size and grandeur'."
Quote: "It is the 17th crater of its kind to be found and documented in Yamal since 2014 – and is thought to be the biggest."
Note: When the first methane explosion blasted a gigantic crater in the ground in this area, I said then that this is one of those things where once you see it happen once, it's very likely to happen again and again. And here we are at #17 so far, and those are just the ones that we know about. This is a vast and remote area, so it's probably happened many more times that nobody's even noticed yet. They only found this crater because an aircraft just happened to fly over this area.
The more of these explosions that happen, the more methane that is released into the atmosphere, which warms things up more, which makes more of these methane explosions happen, which releases more methane into the atmosphere, which warms things up more, and so on and so on. An uncontrollable and unstoppable chain reaction of warming and methane releases reinforcing and amplifying each other is now happening. One can envision a future where the ground is randomly exploding all over the place regularly, like gigantic bombs constantly going off, destroying whatever's in the general area. There may not be any human beings left alive on the planet by then though...
