Event Update For 2020-09-09
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.

2020-09-09 - Think 2020's disasters are wild? Experts see worse in the future:

http://www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/think-2020-s-disasters-are-wild-experts-see-worse-in-future-1.5098590
Note: Yep, MUCH worse. Bad enough to end humanity, and humanity will be gone before things get REALLY bad. These experts haven't yet recognized the fact that what's going on now is a repeat of the Permian-Triassic extinction event, commonly called 'The Great Dying'. If you're thinking that surely we'll 'do something' to avoid extinction, it's too late. The time to act was 50 years ago. At BEST we could buy ourselves a little time now -- a few years extra time, maybe even a decade -- but it'd require effort and sacrifice to even do that, and from all appearances, nobody's willing to do that. People will undoubtedly be rethinking that position when they're on fire and the skin is melting from their bones, or when they're inhaling poison gas and falling over dead, but obviously that's not the optimal time to be drawing up plans to extend life...
2020-09-09 - Record high temperatures and mammoth wildfires in the Arctic have arrived earlier than scientists predicted:

Quote: "And these climate model projections show that the kind of extreme summer temperatures we’ve seen in the Arctic in 2020 weren’t likely to occur until the mid-21st century, exceeding predictions by decades."
2020-09-09 - World's wildlife populations have fallen by around 68% in four decades:

http://newstral.com/en/article/en/1159863012/world-s-wildlife-populations-have-fallen-by-an-average-of-68-in-four-decades-world-wildlife-fund-says
Note: At that rate, pretty much all wildlife on the planet will be dead by 2040. That might not be that far-fetched. The insects around the planet have been dying off too, so it's not just 'wildlife'. Humanity dying off won't be far behind...

Note: That's a completely arbitrary cutoff. The cutoff that matters is the one where if we go past it, our march toward extinction becomes irreversible. Wherever THAT cutoff is, we're well past it. So they're just blathering, probably to mislead people into thinking that there's still time for us to 'do something about it'. There isn't. Pay attention to the fires devouring the surface of the Earth, the dying off of life around the planet, the ground literally EXPLODING with methane in Siberia, the irreversible decline of ice in Greenland which will destroy most major cities on the planet, the devastating floods and record-shattering heatwaves, and so on. What the UN says or doesn't say is a helluva lot less relevant than what the EARTH has to say, and the Earth is telling us in no uncertain terms that our lease is up, it's not going to be renewed, and we're about to be evicted...from the realm of the living. The End.

Thanks for the cogent analysis, Jonny. If people can't see what's plainly visible it's because they are distracted, deluded and can't think beyond the moment. Few see the implications, the underlying factors or the irreversible nature of these profound events. It's literally Biblical now.

If You Feel Like Something Really, Really Bad Is About To Happen, You Are Definitely Not Alone
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/if-you-feel-like-something-really-really-bad-is-about-to-happen-you-are-definitely-not-alone
If this is “the recovery”, what are things going to look like once economic conditions start to deteriorate again? As you will see below, more than half of all households in some of our largest cities “are facing serious financial problems”, and Americans continue to file for unemployment benefits at a rate that the United States had never seen before prior to 2020. When 695,000 workers filed for unemployment benefits during a single week in 1982, it established a record which stood for nearly 38 years. But now we have been way above that old record for 25 weeks in a row. On Thursday, we learned that another 884,000 Americans filed new claims for unemployment benefits last week… [more; ah, but the U-3 rate!]
'We're not who we think we are': NYT admits Americans' quality of life dropping, US plunges to 28th on new global index
https://www.sott.net/article/441202-We-re-not-who-we-think-we-are-NYT-admits-Americans-quality-of-life-dropping-US-plunges-to-28th-on-new-global-index
The US' world-leading self-image is totally unjustified, the Times acknowledged on Thursday, contrasting Washington's vaunted superpower status with its 28th-place ranking in this year's Social Progress Index (SPI), set to be released today. The index purports to measure quality of life based on metrics like health, education, safety, freedom, and environmental stewardship.
The US has slipped nine places since the 2011 launch of the index, which boasts a proprietary scientific formula that incorporates 50 "metrics of well-being" and claims to be "inspired by Nobel-winning economists." Its advisory board is chaired by a Harvard Business School professor, Michael Porter, who lamented to the Times that "It's like we're a developing country."
"We are no longer the country we like to think we are," he moaned, urging readers to take the bad news as "a call to action." [more; too late!]

Meanwhile the government in neighbouring Burkina Faso the number of fatalities has increased to 13. On 09 September the government declared a state of emergency in response to flooding which has affected the country since late August. [more]

ReplyDeleteWhy did the Oregon fires in the Siege of ’20 spread so quickly?
https://wildfiretoday.com/2020/09/10/why-did-the-oregon-fires-in-the-siege-of-20-spread-so-quickly/
People may wonder why all of a sudden there were numerous very large fires in Oregon this week during what I am calling the Siege of ’20.
To a degree it didn’t exactly happen suddenly; some of the fires had been burning for weeks. Two of the largest, the Beachie Creek and Lionshead Fires, started from lightning on August 16.
The fires in Oregon were all heavily influenced by a historic extreme wind event on Monday, September 7 that brought 25 to 50 mph winds to many areas. Power lines and trees were toppled and any existing fires or just a spark could escalate into a raging fire quickly. Four fires east of Interstate 5 from Portland south to Eugene are each now larger than 100,000 acres. Just one 100,000-acre fire in Oregon is rare, but to have four at once is unprecedented in recent decades.
Wildfires have burned over 800 square miles in Oregon
https://wildfiretoday.com/2020/09/10/wildfires-have-burned-over-800-square-miles-in-oregon/
At least 50 fires have burned over 800 square miles in Oregon, and again on Wednesday, dry, breezy weather kept them growing. Governor Kate Brown said that during this fire siege the state will likely experience the greatest loss of property and lives from wildfires in its history. This a result of the confluence of several factors, including drought and lightning, along with hot, dry, and very windy weather. [more; 28 mi x 28 mi!]

America's vaccine pessimism
https://www.axios.com/covid-vaccine-election-f267a641-a19f-43e0-80a0-87c8e6eb303f.html
Only 14% of Americans think a coronavirus vaccine will be widely available before the November election, and even if it is, most Americans say they won't take it, according to a new poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Why it matters: It shows the huge level of skepticism surrounding the development of a vaccine at breakneck speed. When we eventually have a safe, effective vaccine, this skepticism could become a huge problem.
The big picture: 62% of adults say they're worried the Food and Drug Administration will rush to approve a vaccine under pressure from the Trump administration. [more]
