Event Update For 2020-09-18
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: "Shortly after 2.30pm today (18 September), police were called to the scene of a fire in the Rivelin area of Sheffield. The fire service had responded to Lodge Lane to reports of a car on fire in the street. As the fire was extinguished, a body was discovered in the front of the car."
2020-09-18 - Wildfires starting earlier, burning more area and burning more intensely as the world continues warming:

http://news.yahoo.com/wildfires-rage-climate-experts-warn-173100788.html
Quote: "As 2020 began, record-breaking wildfires had already engulfed regions of Australia, eventually scorching more than 65,000 square miles — an area that, when taken together, is larger than the state of Illinois. Then came the fires that swept across Siberia in July, fueled by an intense Arctic heat wave. And then things hit much closer to home for Prichard. Over the past month, dozens of catastrophic wildfires have been raging along a huge swath of the western United States, including in Prichard’s home state of Washington. Millions of acres have already burned across California, Oregon and Washington, and at least 36 deaths have been linked to the blazes."
Note: Take the fires that have burned this year across the world, from the southern tip of South America to the far north Arctic, and then imagine them being MANY times worse. That's where we're heading, and not slowly, like in 100 years or such nonsense. The escalation is dramatic and obvious right now and this escalation is non-linear: the rate of escalation is itself escalating, the 'catastrophe curve' going vertical. By the time that curve reaches its peak, the human race will be long gone...

Quote: "When researchers arrived in this town tucked in the Northern Rockies three years ago, they could still smell the smoke a day after it cleared from devastating wildfires. Their plan was to chart how long it took for people to recover from living for seven weeks surrounded by relentless smoke. They still don’t know, because most residents haven’t recovered. In fact, they’ve gotten worse."
2020-09-18 - China struggling to meet basic food demands as President Xi encourages 'gastronomic discipline':
http://thehill.com/opinion/international/516607-another-famine-coming-china-struggles-to-meet-basic-food-demands
http://www.newsbreak.com/news/2063849756608/another-famine-coming-china-struggles-to-meet-basic-food-demands
Quote: "It is difficult to ascertain the real situation since information coming out of China may not reflect the true severity of the crisis. However, Xi’s statements on the need for 'gastronomic discipline' are reminiscent of similar instructions issued by Mao in 1959, at the beginning of the Great Famine (1958-1962). A combination of factors indicate that China is at risk for this history to repeat itself — a massive food shortage that could worsen into one of its biggest crises since the founding of the People’s Republic in 1949."

http://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/more-dead-sea-lions-turtles-found-on-baja-sur-beach/
Quote: "More dead sea lions have turned up in the same area where 137 sea lions washed up on the beach earlier this month in Baja California Sur. In San Juanico, ComondĂș, the bodies of 21 sea lions were discovered last week, some clinging to life before bleeding out from their snouts. This brings the number of dead sea lions to 183 this month alone, BCS Noticias reports. The fishermen who discovered the bodies say there were no marks from nets or boat propellers, so no official cause of death has been determined."

You should invent such a mask, Jonny - you'll make bank!
ReplyDeleteHow about that? You can now lose consciousness at a CAR WASH! Apparently, without even dousing your head with water, you can just sit in your car and the mist from the car wash spray can enter your car's vents and BOOM, you're OUT!

Cracking the Mystery of the ‘Worldwide Hum’
https://getpocket.com/explore/item/cracking-the-mystery-of-the-worldwide-hum
In my view, there are currently four hypotheses for the source of the world Hum that survive the most superficial scrutiny.
The first hypothesis – argued by Deming and the one I’m currently pursuing – is that the Hum is rooted in Very Low Frequency (VLF) radio transmissions.
The second hypothesis is that the Hum is the grand accumulation of low-frequency sound and human-generated infrasound (sounds with audio frequencies below roughly 20 Hz and which can be felt more than they can be heard). This includes everything from highway noise to all manner of industrial activity.
The third is that the Hum is a terrestrial or geological phenomenon that generates low-frequency sounds or perceptions of those sounds.
The fourth is that the Hum is an internally generated phenomenon, perhaps rooted in a particular anatomical variation, genetic predisposition or the result of toxicity and medication. [more; more on each of these]
