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: "It’s not just the nearly 7,900 wildfires that have consumed more than 3.4 million acres and claimed 26 lives in California that have Arthur Gies looking online for apartments in New York. 'It’s not necessarily this year of wildfires so much as the dam breaking on the realization that this is not just the new normal but just a prelude to what’s coming,' the 39-year-old Oakland resident says. 'And just being sort of tired of this being normal.'"

2020-09-19 - Emaciated grizzly found dead on central BC coast in Canada as low salmon count sparks concern:
http://www.newsoptimist.ca/news/emaciated-grizzly-found-dead-on-central-b-c-coast-as-low-salmon-count-sparks-concern-1.24205966
Quote: "“The poor bear starved to death,” said John Smith, a fisheries supervisor with the band and the one who found the dead grizzly. Smith said there are very few fish in the river right now, adding he saw five other bears who seemed 'thinner than normal' but not as bad as the dead one. 'I’ve never seen anything like this before,' said Patricia Sewid, a Gwa’sala-‘Nakwaxda’xw fisheries officer."
Quote: "While Sewid returned to Port Hardy last week she said that she had counted the lowest salmon numbers of her career. 'Eight days ago I counted just over 300 pinks, ideally I should have counted over 10,000,' said Sewid. The low number of salmon is not helping the bears, she said and added that this year she observed a low count of berries too – another food source."
Note: Starving sea birds have been washing up dead in the hundreds of thousands from the Pacific Northwest all the way north to Alaska in recent years too. The fish they eat may be dying off too, just like the disappearing salmon in Alaska and Canada. The hundreds of thousands or millions of birds that recently dropped dead in New Mexico and surrounding states were thin too - the insects they eat may be dying off. Insects have been dying off all around the world, even in remote jungles where there is no human activity. I don't know what kind of berries the fisheries officer was referring to up there, but if those berries require insects for pollination, and the insects are disappearing there then that could be a problem for the bears that eat them. The entire biosphere has begun to collapse...

2020 Has Been A “Nightmare Year” For America, And The Economic Fallout Is Just Getting Started
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/2020-has-been-a-nightmare-year-for-america-and-the-economic-fallout-is-just-getting-started
Most of us have never experienced a year that has been as tough as 2020 has been for our nation. It has just been one major crisis after another, and the month of September has brought us even more trouble. The worst wildfire season in the history of the state of California has been making headlines day after day, and now the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg threatens to escalate the political turmoil in this nation to an entirely new level. Many had such high hopes for 2020, but at this point this year has been such a disaster that USA Today is calling it “an American nightmare”, and it is difficult to argue with their reasoning… [more]

Coca-Cola Paid Scientists to Downplay How Sugary Beverages Fueled the Obesity Crisis
https://www.cryptogon.com/?p=59571
Coca-Cola’s work with scientists to downplay the role sugar plays in contributing to obesity has been called a ‘low point in this history of public health.’
The beverage company donated millions of dollars to a team of researchers at a non-profit claiming to look into causes of excess weight gain in the US.
However, the team ended up being a ‘front group’ for Coca-Cola and promoted the idea that it was a lack of exercise, not a bad diet, that was the primary driver of the US obesity epidemic.
What’s more, the group tried to downplay the fact that Coca-Cola was a donor of its research, and how much money the company gifted. [more; hey, just like Big Oil & Big Pharma (and the nuclear industry and the snack food industry, etc.)!]

Jasper National Park says one caribou herd gone, two others on the brink of local extinction
ReplyDeletehttp://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2020/09/16/jasper-national-park-says-one-caribou-herd-gone-two-others-on-the-brink-of-local-extinction/
Caribou populations in Jasper National Park are in deep trouble.
Of three southern mountain woodland caribou herds managed by Parks Canada, one — the Maligne herd — is now considered extirpated, or locally extinct, while the other two are dangerously small, according to the Jasper National Park’s Species at Risk report.
Worse, neither of those herds has enough breeding females to be able to grow the herds, a situation that has an Alberta wilderness society calling for swift action. [more]

A grand jury has indicted a 41-year old man for setting a fire in Phoenix, Oregon on September 8, the day the Almeda Drive Fire started near Ashland. Michael Jarrod Bakkela was arraigned on 2 counts of Arson in the First Degree, 15 counts of Criminal Mischief in the First Degree, 14 counts of Recklessly Endangering Another Person, and one count for Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine.
Mr. Bakkela, who is being held on bail of $5 million, is accused of starting a fire that damaged 15 properties between Phoenix and Medford that contributed to the Almeda Drive Fire.
The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office announced September 15 that at least 2,357 structures were destroyed in the Almeda Drive Fire, which started north of Ashland and rapidly spread northwest through Talent, then Phoenix, and was finally stopped south of Medford. [more]

One person was reported missing on Saturday and dozens faced evacuation from their homes after torrential rain hit southern France, authorities said.
The Gard region, where firefighters reported the missing person, was on red alert after as much as 350 millimetres (13.5 inches) of rain fell in parts of the Cevennes mountain range on the edge of the Massif Central.
A similar amount cut off 10 departmental roads in the Gard, among them one in the Pont-d'Herault municipality, with prefectural sources indicating one village was isolated as a result.
Helicopters carried out two rescue missions and some 650 rescue personnel were mobilised for three further operations as some 200 people were led to safety in two villages. [more]

CDC says coronavirus spreads mainly in the air, through respiratory aerosols and droplets
https://www.yahoo.com/news/cdc-says-coronavirus-spreads-mainly-034950288.html
The coronavirus spreads most commonly in the air, through droplets or other tiny respiratory particles that apparently can remain suspended and inhaled, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says in new guidance.
The smaller particles, known as aerosols, are produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, sings, talks or breathes and can be inhaled into someone's nose, mouth, airways or lungs, according to the CDC, which says that, in general, indoor settings without good ventilation increase the risk of contagion.
"This is thought to be the main way the virus spreads," the CDC has posted on its website. "There is growing evidence that droplets and airborne particles can remain suspended in the air and be breathed in by others and travel distances beyond six feet (for example, during choir practice, in restaurants or in fitness classes)."

Significant rainfall may be double-edged sword for northwestern US this week
https://www.yahoo.com/news/significant-rainfall-may-double-edged-073154608.html
A multi-day rain event is just what the northwestern United States needs to help put out the dozens of active wildfires, and forecasters say that is in the offing later this week. But could there be too much of a good thing?
From last Friday into the weekend, the region received some relief from the smoke and haze that has persisted due to the fires as a weak storm moved in from the Pacific. Light rain fell across western Washington and Oregon, but areas east of the Cascades received very little rainfall.
While mainly dry weather has since moved in and will last into at least Tuesday, the next storm will be knocking on the doorstep at midweek -- and forecasters say this one will be more potent. [more]

Fueled by unusual warmth at the top of the world, Arctic sea ice shrank to its second-lowest level on record last week, scientists announced Monday.
“It's been a crazy year up north, with sea ice at a near-record low, 100-degree (Fahrenheit) heat waves in Siberia and massive forest fires,” said Mark Serreze, director of the National Snow and Ice Data Center, which made the announcement, along with NASA.
“The year 2020 will stand as an exclamation point on the downward trend in Arctic sea ice extent," he said. "We are headed toward a seasonally ice-free Arctic Ocean, and this year is another nail in the coffin.” [more]

[Fuck You]Fauci: We'll likely be wearing masks for most of 2021, even after a vaccine rolls out
https://www.yahoo.com/news/fauci-well-likely-wearing-masks-144700487.html
Dr. Anthony Fauci says a vaccine alone is not going to "get us to the point where we want to be, by the end of 2021."
We'll need to vaccinate, social distance, continue hand hygiene, and use masks in order to get the level of coronavirus circulating between people down so low that outbreaks become a thing of the past.
The first coronavirus vaccines will likely not protect people from getting sick at 100%, but may provide somewhere around 70% protection against symptomatic infections.
[no mention of their plan to keep rolling out news ones every now and again, now that they know it works; they're medically corralling us]
It is going to be a long road to get everybody vaccinated
[oh, and they'll be hunting the resisters down for forced vaccination; when that doesn't work they'll make it impossible to do anything without their implanted CHIP]
"I don't think we're going to eradicate it," Fauci said of the coronavirus. "We may not completely eliminate it, but if you get it down to such a very low level, and enough of the population is protected — either by a vaccine or by previously having been infected — then you'll develop a degree of herd immunity that you won't have an outbreak."

Brain wrapped in aluminum foil washes ashore on Wisconsin beach
https://www.yahoo.com/news/brain-wrapped-aluminum-foil-washes-135458910.html
Spookiness has come early to Wisconsin this year, as a washed-up brain was discovered on a local beach last week.
James Senda found what looked like a brain wrapped in aluminum foil and called police, who responded to the scene Tuesday morning.
"When I first opened it, I think I was so shocked it didn't click what it was," Senda told CNN. "I walked up to city workers nearby and I was like, 'Did I just find a brain?'"
Local media reported that the brain was also accompanied by pink flowers and foreign money.
Some suspect the package may be part of a ritual for the dead, with items to use in the afterlife, but no one “can explain the brain,” said Senda. [more; what, voodoo? Santaria? jeeez]

Trump on Supreme Court vacancy: 'When you have the votes, you can sort of do what you want'
https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-rbg-replacement-scotus-when-you-have-the-senate-you-can-sort-of-do-what-you-want-152627811.html
President Trump on Monday defended the Republican plan to bring his pick to replace the Supreme Court vacancy left by Ruth Bader Ginsburg to a vote so close to an election despite the fact that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell declined to do the same with Merrick Garland, President Barack Obama's nominee, in 2016.
“When you have the Senate, when you have the votes, you can sort of do what you want as long as you have it,” Trump said in an interview with “Fox & Friends.”
When Obama nominated Garland after the death [HIT, cough, cough] of Justice Antonin Scalia in February 2016, Republicans controlled both the House and the Senate. At the time, McConnell said the American people “should have a say” in the selection of the next Supreme Court justice, and that the vacancy should not be filled until we had a new president. [more]

U.S. CDC takes down coronavirus airborne transmission guidance
https://www.yahoo.com/news/u-cdc-says-coronavirus-could-135420457.html
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Monday took down its guidance warning on possible airborne transmission of the novel coronavirus, saying that the draft recommendation was posted in error.
The now-withdrawn guidance, posted on the agency's website on Friday, recommended that people use air purifiers to reduce airborne germs indoors to avoid the disease from spreading.
"CDC is currently updating its recommendations regarding airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Once this process has been completed, the update language will be posted," the agency said.
The CDC did not immediately respond to Reuters request for comment on when the guidance will be updated.[more; WHO cares]
