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.

http://insideclimatenews.org/news/16102020/permafrost-study-arctic-ocean-climate-change
Quote: "The new research is yet more evidence that the amplified warming in the Arctic can release carbon at a massive scale..."
Note: Once that happens - and it has already begun - then we'd need to not only stop all human emissions, but also remove all the greenhouse gases from the atmosphere that are being added by the massive fires now sweeping the planet AND remove from the atmosphere all of the massive amounts of greenhouse gases that the melting permafrost belches up, if we wish to avoid extinction and the death of every human being on the surface of the planet. Since doing that is far beyond the ability of the human race, that means our fate is certain and extinction awaits us. The only real question now is how long will it be until the last human being dies. Stay tuned!

ReplyDeleteAfter biblical locust plagues Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya face devastating drought as the next rainy season in East Africa is forecast to fail, jeopardizing food security for millions of people
https://strangesounds.org/2020/10/east-africa-drought-forecast-maps.html
I’ve seen this unfold twice in the past ten years, despite early warning and drought forecasts (see C. Funk Nature 476, 7; 2011). In 2010–11, around 260,000 Somalians were killed through starvation when two consecutive rainy seasons failed. One in ten children under five died in the south of the country.
In 2016–17, back-to-back droughts, predicted by climatologists, struck again. Poor harvests led to lost revenues and a sixfold spike in the number of food-insecure people. Across Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya, more than 12 million people were in desperate need of humanitarian assistance. [more]

“Plan for the worst”: Law enforcement authorities all over America are bracing for massive election riots
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/plan-for-the-worst-law-enforcement-authorities-all-over-america-are-bracing-for-massive-election-riots
The fact that law enforcement officials across the nation are expecting widespread violence following the election should chill every American to the core. As I keep repeating over and over, violence is not going to solve anything, but much of the population is not listening to voices such as mine anymore. As you will see below, authorities have decided to “plan for the worst” because everyone can see what is potentially coming. But if we can’t hold a presidential election without violence at this point, how much longer can our system possibly last? No matter who ends up winning, I think that the election of 2020 will tell us a lot about how far America has already fallen. [more]

[a quick lesson in statistics]
ReplyDeleteCould most positive COVID-19 tests be wrong?
https://www.sott.net/article/443147-Could-most-positive-COVID-19-tests-be-wrong
the false positive rate denotes the percentage of people without the disease whose tests come back positive. Crucially, this is not the same as either
the percentage of positive tests that are falsely positive; or
the percentage of total tests that are falsely positive.
When ordinary intelligent people describe a test as 95% reliable, they mean that 95% of the results that it yields are correct. The reality concerning a false positive rate ("FPR") as it is in fact defined, however, is quite different: since the FPR is defined as the percentage of individuals who are not infected but who test positive, it simply does not follow that a 5% FPR translates into 95% reliability for the test, as that is ordinarily understood - even if we assume a nil false negative rate. Rather, the reliability (in the layman's sense) of the test is a function of both of two factors: (i) the tendency of the test to identify as positive people who are not and (ii) the overall prevalence of the disease in society.
No one knows, for certain, the actual rate of incidence of SARS-CoV-2 in the UK (or in any other country). On 18 October, Government data quoted a figure of 1088.8 per 100,000 for England. I suspect (for reasons given below) that this may well be a massive overestimate [more; and all the numbers were artificially inflated from the start/the PCR test is a flawed use of the wrong device to test for the disease]

Monsanto loses final appeal over French farmer's weedkiller accident
https://www.yahoo.com/news/monsanto-loses-final-appeal-over-171151419.html
Monsanto division on Wednesday lost a final appeal in a long-running French legal battle in which the crop chemical maker has been held liable for the accidental inhalation of a weedkiller by a crop farmer.
Monsanto had been trying to overturn a decision by an appeals court in 2019 that had found the company's product safety information to have been inadequate in relation to the accident involving farmer Paul Francois in 2004.
France's highest court rejected Monsanto's latest appeal in a ruling published on Wednesday, opening the way for another court to decide on what damages should be awarded to Francois.
The farmer has argued that the fumes he inhaled from the weedkiller Lasso, a product that was subsequently withdrawn from the French market, caused neurological problems, including memory loss, fainting and headaches. [more]

Televangelist Pat Robertson on Tuesday said God told him who will prevail in the Nov. 3 presidential election: President Donald Trump.
“What I think very frankly is the only thing that will fulfill the word of Jesus … is some kind of asteroid strike on the globe,’’ he said. “It’s sudden destruction. It’s not going to be some nuclear war. We’re not going to be allowed to blow this earth up.’'
Robertson said more than five years will pass between the end of the election and the asteroid’s arrival. He predicted horrible civil disobedience will commence after the election, there will be at least two attempts on Trump’s life and a war against Israel will end only when God intervenes. [more]
