Jumping Jack Flash Hypothesis: It's A Gas Gas Gas: Event Update For 2020-09-10

Event Update For 2020-09-10

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.

Quote: "Brown said the fires were unprecedented in the state's history, with totals nearing 900,000 acres burned. Over the past decade, the state has seen an average of 500,000 acres burn each year. 'We've seen nearly double that in the last three days,' she said. 'Folks are really scared and looking for information.'"

Quote: "It is only when firefighters can counterattack and get into heavily damaged areas will the full scope of the human and property damage be known. 'We know there are fatalities,' Brown said. State officials declined to estimate the possible number of dead or amount of property damage."

Quote: "The massive August Complex fire is now officially the largest blaze in California history, burning more than 471,000 acres, another grim milestone in what is already the state’s most destructive fire year on record. The fire burning north of Sacramento has now surpassed the 2018 Mendocino Complex fire, which burned more than 459,000 acres back in 2018."

Mornin' Jonny, all.

Hard to believe that about 9 residences PER MONTH simply explode for unknown reasons (to the authorities).

It's simply not a good idea to enter into or walk alongside any source of water anymore. Of course, it may turn out to be an "easy way out" for the suicide-inclined (insurance claims will still be honored).

The marine die-off continues. More JJFH evidence every day.

Stunning photos of pyrocumulus clouds over the Claremont-Bear Fire
https://wildfiretoday.com/2020/09/12/stunning-photos-of-pyrocumulus-clouds-over-the-claremont-bear-fire/

The Claremont and Bear Fires burned together and are now managed as part of the 252,000-acre North Complex organization.

The white cloud above the smoke is a pyrocumulus cloud produced by the intense heating of the air over a fire. This induces convection, which causes the air mass to rise to a point of stability, where condensation occurs. If the fire is large enough, the cloud may continue to grow, becoming a cumulonimbus flammagenitus which may produce lightning and start another fire. [more]

California closures include Highway 1, 8 L.A. County parks, 29 state parks and 18 national forests as flames persist and weekend begins
https://www.yahoo.com/news/california-closures-highway-1-8-003252719.html

With California bedeviled by fires and air quality worsening, L.A. County officials on Friday closed eight parks for the weekend, joining state and federal officials who have shut down 29 state parks, Highway 1 south of Big Sur and all of the state's national forests.

The closed L.A. County locations include Eaton Canyon Natural Area, Devil's Punchbowl Natural Area, Frank G. Bonelli Regional Park, Lario Staging Area, Marshall Canyon Regional Park and Nursery, Peck Road Water Conservation Park, San Dimas Canyon Natural Area and Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area.

Also closed for the weekend: Huntington Gardens in San Marino.

U.S. Forest Service officials had already closed the state's 18 national forests on Wednesday, a sweeping move that closed access to more than 20 million acres because of "unprecedented and historic fire conditions." Campgrounds, trails, picnic areas and roads shut to visitors until further notice, according to a U.S. Forest Service news release.

“These temporary closures are necessary to protect the public and our firefighters, and we will keep them in place until conditions improve and we are confident that national forest visitors can recreate safely,” regional forester Randy Moore said in the release. [more]

An ominous map shows the entire West Coast with the worst air quality on Earth as historic wildfires spew smoke
https://www.yahoo.com/news/ominous-map-shows-entire-west-211500634.html

The US West Coast has the worst air quality in the world due to wildfire smoke across California, Oregon, and Washington.

Maps of air-quality index measurements show hazardous levels of particulate matter from wildfire smoke across the entire West Coast.

Research has linked particulate matter from wildfires to heart and lung problems, increased hospital visits, and worse flu seasons.

The EPA recommends residents stay indoors with filtered air, keep physical activity levels low, and wear an N95 respirator if they have to go outside. [more]

Crew on North Complex in California overrun by fire deploys fire shelters
https://wildfiretoday.com/2020/09/11/crew-on-north-complex-in-california-overrun-by-fire-deploys-fire-shelters/

A firefighting hand crew was overrun by the fire they were fighting September 9 and had to deploy their fire shelters. It happened on the Claremont/Bear Fire, two merged blazes that are part of the North Complex.

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection explained that the fire became unpredictable due to erratic weather and dry fuel conditions. The agency said the personnel were “virtually unharmed except for two minor injuries.” The incident is under review.

Fire shelters are small foldable pup tent-like fire resistant devices that a wildland firefighter can unfold and climb into if there is no option for escaping from an approaching inferno. The shelters can resist radiant heat, and if the person inside can seal the edges under their body, convective heat as well, but there are limits. Many firefighters have used the devices successfully, but others have been killed inside them. [more; jeez!]

Tiny California Town Leveled By “Massive Wall Of Fire”; 10 Dead, 16 Missing, Trapped Fire Crew Barely Escapes Blaze
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/tiny-california-town-leveled-massive-024124360.html

In a scene that brought back nightmares of the Camp Fire two years ago, the tiny town of Berry Creek was demolished by the North Complex Fire near Oroville in Northern California.

“We had a massive wall of fire that came in and did everything it could to destroy everything in its path and unfortunately, there were some communities right in the way, just like what happened in Paradise and Concow during the Camp Fire,” Cal Fire spokesman Rick Carhart said Thursday.

Others were not so lucky. According to multiple local reports, the Butte County Sheriff indicated that 10 people have died at 16 are still missing. Thus far the blaze has blackened 247,358 acres. It is being fought by over 1600 fire personnel. [more]

The Arctic is burning like never before — and that’s bad news for climate change
http://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2020/09/10/the-arctic-is-burning-like-never-before-and-thats-bad-news-for-climate-change/

Wildfires blazed along the Arctic Circle this summer, incinerating tundra, blanketing Siberian cities in smoke and capping the second extraordinary fire season in a row. By the time the fire season waned at the end of last month, the blazes had emitted a record 244 megatonnes of carbon dioxide — that’s 35% more than last year, which also set records. One culprit, scientists say, could be peatlands that are burning as the top of the world melts. [more]

Wildlife in ‘catastrophic decline’ due to human destruction, scientists warn

Wildlife populations have fallen by more than two-thirds in less than 50 years, according to a major report by the conservation group WWF.

The report says this “catastrophic decline” shows no sign of slowing.

They recorded an average 68% fall in more than 20,000 populations of mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles and fish since 1970. [more; doesn't include INSECTS]

Research published this week revealed an unexpected discrepancy between observations of dark matter concentrations in three massive clusters of galaxies encompassing trillions of stars and theoretical computer simulations of how dark matter should be distributed.

"Either there is a missing ingredient in the simulations or we have made a fundamental incorrect assumption about the nature of dark matter," Yale University astrophysicist Priyamvada Natarajan, a co-author of the study published in the journal Science, said on Friday. [more]

https://www.sott.net/article/441224-Severe-floods-hit-760000-people-in-West-and-Central-Africa

in recent years climate change, land degradation and poor urban planning have led to more frequent disasters as rapidly-growing cities struggle with heavier-than-normal rainfall.

Waters have yet to recede in parts of Niamey since torrential rains in August caused rivers to burst their banks, destroying nearly 32,000 houses and 5,768 hectares of farmland across Niger.

Flooding across landlocked Niger alone has so far impacted nearly 333,000 people. Over 188,000 people have been affected in neighbouring Chad, with OCHA warning of potential food shortages due to inundated land.

Communities' ability to cope with natural disasters has been eroded by instability, food shortages and mass displacement in some areas. Over 25 million people are in need of humanitarian aid in the violence-plagued Sahel area, which includes Niger, Chad and Mali. [more]

Paul asked Kennedy about what happened to his uncle, the former U.S. president who was shot dead by what the official government experts said was a "magic bullet." Kennedy does not believe the official story about what happened to his uncle, and instead believes that Kennedy was assassinated due to the family's battle against the CIA's program to meddle in foreign affairs.
