Jumping Jack Flash Hypothesis: It's A Gas Gas Gas: Event Update For 2025-01-16

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: "Wildfires that blazed around the world in 2024 helped to drive a record annual leap in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, surprising scientists. The data shows humanity is moving yet deeper into a dangerous world of supercharged extreme weather."

Note: Definitely terrible news, but not too surprising. What this means is that even though humanity is making some progress in decreasing its emissions, the planet itself is increasing its own emissions even faster. And that means there will be even more gigantic fires, which increase the planet's own emissions even more, which will cause even bigger and more devastating fires, and so on. We're behind the curve and falling even more behind the curve with each year that passes. This is a sign of a problem that is out of control...

http://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ado4245

Quote: "Severe droughts that persist for years have grown hotter, drier and larger since the 1980s. These long-lasting droughts – some of which are extreme enough to be classified as 'megadroughts' – can be especially devastating to agriculture and ecosystems."

Quote: "The land affected by multi-year droughts is increasing by nearly 50,000 square kilometres globally per year, according to the study. 'Which is more than the area of Switzerland,' Dirk Karger, senior researcher at the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL) and senior author of the study, told CBC News."

http://www.science.org/content/article/climate-change-may-be-driving-spread-deadly-fungus-u-s-southwest

Quote: "And cases are escalating fast. Diagnoses reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have ballooned from about 2800 annually at the turn of the century to about 20,000 in 2023, with at least 200 people dying each year. Arizona and California, where roughly 97% of U.S. cases are reported, have seen dramatic increases recently: Incidence in Arizona has grown by 73% in the past 10 years—to 146 cases per 100,000 people. In California, incidence quadrupled between 2014 and 2023 to 23.2 cases per 100,000 people."
