Event Update For 2022-01-12
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.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10395899/Warning-pet-owners-dozens-dogs-fall-ill-walking-east-coast-beaches.html
Quote: "Dog owners in East Yorkshire have warned that their pets fell ill after taking walks along the region’s coastline, despite officials finding no 'direct link' between the area and the diseases during recent inspections. Vets in the area claim they have seen cases of severe vomiting and diarrhea in dogs who recently visited the northeast coast. In a Facebook post, Yorkshire Coast Pet Care described being 'inundated' with dogs that have suffered a mystery illness, urging officials to investigate."

http://www.cnn.com/2022/01/13/weather/us-west-california-drought-record-68-weeks-climate/index.html
Quote: "Despite several recent drenching rainstorms in the West and enough snow to top the second story of some buildings, the United States has tied an alarming drought record: At least 40% of the Lower 48 has gone 68 straight weeks -- more than 17 months -- in drought conditions."
2020-01-12 - Plants at risk of extinction as climate crisis disrupts animal migration:
http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/jan/13/plants-at-risk-of-extinction-as-climate-crisis-disrupts-animal-migration
Quote: "The decline of seed-dispersing animals is damaging plants’ ability to adapt to climate breakdown, a study has found. Almost half of all plant species depend on animals to spread their seeds, but scientists fear these plants may be at risk of extinction when animals are driven to migrate to cooler areas, as plants cannot easily follow."
Quote: "Researchers used machine learning from more than 400 seed dispersal networks worldwide to examine what would happen when animals left areas affected by global heating. They found these plants’ capacity to adapt to climate change has already dropped by 60% globally. The researchers warn this may lead to the permanent loss of some species."

For the insurance industry, 2021 was the second-highest loss year on record, after 2017 – “The 2021 disaster statistics are striking because some of the extreme weather events are of the kind that are likely to become more frequent or more severe as a result of climate change”
ReplyDeletehttps://desdemonadespair.net/2022/01/for-the-insurance-industry-2021-was-the-second-highest-loss-year-on-record-after-2017-the-2021-disaster-statistics-are-striking-because-some-of-the-extreme-weather-events-are-of-t.html
Worldwide, natural disasters caused substantially higher losses in 2021 than in the two previous years. Based on provisional data, storms, floods, wildfires, and earthquakes destroyed assets worth US$ 280bn.
The insurance gap, in other words the uninsured portion, declined slightly due to a higher proportion of losses in the USA, but was still approximately 57%. Almost 10,000 people lost their lives in natural disasters in 2021, a death toll comparable with those of recent years. [more]

The Great Resignation roars again: Here’s why more U.S. workers than ever quit in November 2021 – Nearly 3 million reported not working due to COVID-19 symptoms or caring for somebody who was sick
https://desdemonadespair.net/2022/01/the-great-resignation-roars-again-heres-why-more-u-s-workers-than-ever-quit-in-november-2021-nearly-3-million-reported-not-working-due-to-covid-19-symptoms-or-caring-for-somebody.html
New data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the Great Resignation did not go gently into that good night; rather, it was very much alive at the end of 2021.
A historic 4.5 million workers willingly quit their jobs in November, up from a succession of records set month after month earlier in the year. Economists note that this is a strong sign of confidence in the United States job market, which is bouncing back after last year’s pandemic recession.
But of course, there’s more to be said about what it means for the state of today’s workforce. Why are workers quitting in droves, especially at a time when finances seem most dire?
Consider the results of a December survey conducted by the Census Bureau of roughly 100 million unemployed people:
Nearly 3 million (3%) reported their reason for not working was because they were sick with COVID-19 symptoms or were caring for somebody who was sick.
Another 5 million (5%) said they were caring for children not in school or daycare, which is a more common circumstance during pandemic lockdowns.
And another 2.5 million (2.5%) were worried about catching COVID themselves.
Particularly vast swaths of resignations occurred in industries with great exposure to the pandemic, such as food and lodging, retail, and recreation.
But more curiously, nearly 5%, or 4.8 million people, simply said they “did not want to be employed at this time.” And, perhaps, the crux of the Great Resignation is found by reading between those lines. Those very industries that are driving the revolt employ some of the most disenfranchised workers, often offering minimum wage for toiling long hours of manual labor—and their employees are starting to wake up to their collective bargaining power.

Cannabinoids from hemp prevent covid-19 coronavirus from entering human cells
ReplyDeletehttps://www.sott.net/article/463101-Cannabinoids-from-hemp-prevent-covid-19-coronavirus-from-entering-human-cells
Hemp compounds identified by Oregon State University research via a chemical screening technique invented at OSU show the ability to prevent the virus that causes COVID-19 from entering human cells.
Findings of the study led by Richard van Breemen, a researcher with Oregon State's Global Hemp Innovation Center, College of Pharmacy, and Linus Pauling Institute, were published on January 10, 2022, in the Journal of Natural Products.
Hemp, known scientifically as Cannabis sativa, is a source of fiber, food, and animal feed, and multiple hemp extracts and compounds are added to cosmetics, body lotions, dietary supplements, and food, van Breemen said.
Van Breemen and collaborators, including scientists at Oregon Health & Science University, found that a pair of cannabinoid acids bind to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, blocking a critical step in the process the virus uses to infect people.
The compounds are cannabigerolic acid, or CBGA, and cannabidiolic acid, CBDA, and the spike protein is the same drug target used in COVID-19 vaccines and antibody therapy. A drug target is any molecule critical to the process a disease follows, meaning its disruption can thwart infection or disease progression. [more; light 'em up!]

White House responds to SCOTUS blocking Biden’s vax mandate
https://www.rt.com/news/545985-scotus-blocks-vaccine-mandate-response/
[globalist strawman] US President Joe Biden said he was “disappointed” with the court’s move to block his [ILLEGAL, UNCONSTITUTIONAL, UNETHICAL, ANTI-SCIENCE, BIO-WEAPON] vaccination mandate for large companies [tough shit, Joe - go away and stick your mandates!]
Instead of enforcing the federal mandate, states and individual employers will now have to “determine whether to make their workplaces as safe as possible for employees” by separately requiring employees to get vaccinated, he added. [do that, and watch how your business goes downhill as vaxxed employees continue to sicken (and die) from the shot and others leave]
A separate vaccination mandate pertaining to employees of federally funded healthcare facilities was upheld by the court in a 5-4 decision, with Biden saying it would “save lives.” [my perfusionist son is being pressured into taking this shot, which he's so far refused]
The court’s three liberal judges, Justices Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, dissented, saying the government was addressing “workplace health emergencies.”
In his own response to the Supreme Court’s decision, former President Donald Trump said that it was tantamount to “confirming what we all knew: Biden’s disastrous mandates are unconstitutional.” [more]

Families separated at border not entitled to payouts

Migrants to get no compensation for family splits under Trump, says DoJ [FJB!]
The Biden administration landed in hot water when it was reported last month in the Wall Street Journal that it planned to pay up to $450,000 to each family that had been separated, blaming “the outrageous behavior of the last administration” for the need to do so and insisting that those who had been separated “deserve some kind of compensation, no matter what the circumstance.”
Following an unprecedented flood of illegal immigrants over the border after his inauguration, the Biden administration has grudgingly shifted its open-borders policy back in the direction of Trump’s border regulations, including the controversial “remain in Mexico” policy, in which asylum-seekers must wait outside the US while their cases are being processed.

A severely corroded pipeline ruptured and spilled more than 300,000 gallons (1.1 million liters) of diesel fuel just outside New Orleans after the operator delayed needed repairs, according to federal records.
Most of the fuel drained into two artificial ponds called “borrow pits” and thousands of fish, birds and other animals were killed, state and local officials said Wednesday. The spill also contaminated soil, according to state and federal officials. [more]

New law will mandate remote ‘kill switches’ in all new cars in the US!
ReplyDeletehttps://strangesounds.org/2022/01/new-law-will-mandate-remote-kill-switches-in-all-new-cars-in-the-us.html
Buried deep within the massive infrastructure legislation recently signed by President Joe Biden is a little-noticed “safety” measure that will take effect in five years.
Marketed to Congress as a benign tool to help prevent drunk driving, the measure will mandate that automobile manufacturers build into every car what amounts to a “vehicle kill switch.”
A kill switch is a mechanism for switching off a machine abruptly, especially in an emergency. Since all cars are now controlled through a board computer, a new function will be installed for disabling your vehicle remotely.

Get ready: A major snowstorm is forecast to roar across the Midwest, South and East Coast
https://news.yahoo.com/ready-major-snowstorm-forecast-roar-173847399.html
A potent winter storm is forecast to wallop tens of millions of people across the central, southern and eastern USA with snow, ice, wind and rain over the next few days.
The first area to see snow Friday will be the upper Midwest, where winter storm warnings, watches and weather advisories were issued by the National Weather Service. A wide swath of 6 to 12 inches of snowfall is expected to encompass the eastern Dakotas to western Minnesota and Iowa, AccuWeather said.
"There will be a band of heavy snow that generally extends from the eastern Dakotas and Minnesota southward to at least much of Missouri and maybe the Ozarks in Arkansas," said AccuWeather meteorologist Matt Benz. Minneapolis, Des Moines, St. Louis and Kansas City are all in the path of the storm.
The best chance for heavy snow is expected to be north and west of the Boston-Washington Interstate 95 corridor, from parts of Northern Virginia to Maine, Weather.com said. [more]
Colorado to 'aggressively assert' water rights with Nebraska

Colorado's governor is warning he will “protect and aggressively assert” his state's water rights after Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts announced a plan to spend $500 million on a canal and reservoir project that includes claiming access to land in Colorado under a 99-year-old compact between the states.
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said he will work with Nebraska but wants more details about what the state has planned. His comments came as Ricketts released a proposed state budget Thursday detailing how he intends to fund the project. [more]
