Event Update For 2026-02-18

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.

2026-02-16 - Alaska is burning, reporting more wildfires than any time in the past 3,000 years:
http://www.earth.com/news/alaska-is-burning-reporting-more-wildfires-than-any-time-in-the-past-3000-years/

Quote: "Wildfires in Arctic Alaska now outrun anything the region has seen in the last 3,000 years, according to a new reconstruction built from modern satellite records. That jump signals that the Arctic tundra is no longer protected by cold, wet ground that once kept flames rare, and it marks the start of a hotter, more flammable fire era driven by drying soils and spreading shrubs."

2026-02-16 - Greenland’s thousand-year-old tradition at risk due to climate change:

Quote: "For more than 1,000 years, dogs have pulled sleds across the Arctic for Inuit seal hunters and fishermen. But this winter, in the town of Ilulissat, around 300km (186 miles) north of the Arctic Circle, that’s not possible. Instead of gliding over snow and ice, Kristensen’s sled bounces over earth and rock. Gesturing to the hills, he said it’s the first time he can remember when there has been no snow — or ice in the bay — in January."
