Quote: "Five crews from Havant, Winchester, Cosham and Southsea were called to a secondary school after reports of a chemical smell. Pupils in classrooms were unaffected but evacuated to the sports hall by staff as a precaution. Three adults and a teenager were taken to hospital by South Central Ambulance Service for precautionary checks. A joint investigation by HFRS and Hampshire Constabulary found no source of a smell and it is believed it had dissipated."

http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2016/12/significant-increases-in-methane.html
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2016/12/meanwhileand-only-very-recently.html
Quote: "Emissions of methane from the East Siberian Shelf – which is the widest and most shallow shelf of the World Ocean – exceed the average estimate emissions of all the world’s oceans. We have reason to believe that such emissions may change the climate. This is due to the fact that the reserves of methane under the submarine permafrost exceed the methane content in the atmosphere by many thousands of times..."

Unfortunately, while they will retreat to underground bunkers and say, 'Damn, we couldn't have been more wrong,' the rest of us will be dead or dying. It's ironic that the people who will be most protected while the rest of us die are the very same people who've denied all along there was ever a problem in order to boost profits for the oil companies and coal companies and other corporations. Something to ponder as we're dying!

2016-12-03 - Dozens of people poisoned by unknown cause in Xiaokou Township, Taihe County (China):
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/database/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=HZ-20161204-56214-CHN
Quote: "Dozens of villagers in east China's Anhui Province have fallen ill with symptoms similar to rodenticide poisoning, but investigators are yet to confirm the cause for their sickness. Twenty-one people from nine families in Xiaokou Township, Taihe County, had been hospitalized as of Saturday with severe symptoms of poisoning, the county's health department said in a statement. Another 15 villagers had milder symptoms and were allowed to go home, it said. The first two cases were reported on Nov. 25, when Liang Guibin and his wife were admitted to hospital with seizures, hematemesis and blood in their urine. Doctors suspected this was a result of consuming rat poison. The subsequent investigation, however, found no traces of any harmful substance in samples of leftover food and water taken from their home in Maozhuang Village. The couple had not dined out or been exposed to harmful chemicals. Similar symptoms were reported by many other villagers over the past week."
Note: Highly likely to be hydrogen sulfide poisoning. An obvious neurotoxic effect out of nowhere - these days, probably hydrogen sulfide. Many rodenticides and most or all insecticides are neurotoxic too, so hydrogen sulfide poisoning may be mistaken for one or the other by those who have no idea what's going on. It also disappears quickly, both in the environment and in people's bodies once they've been poisoned, so the fact that they've had no luck identifying the source makes it more likely, not less, that this was hydrogen sulfide...

Quote: "Strong sulphurous rotten-egg smell overwhelms senses as one approaches this mound, and these days, with tonnes of Diwali cracker waste dumped at the site by the municipal corporation, the loose flammable chemicals often set off a series of fires aided by methane emanating from the rotting garbage -- engulfing an entire 3-km area in thick smoke. But more dangerous are the landfill gases that are constantly emanating from the garbage dump."
Quote: "At Shahwadi, Piplaj, Ektanagar and Citizen Nagar, a local NGO run by Shahid Sheikh collected several medical records of people suffering from asthama, cancer, kidney related disease and heart disease as well."
Note: There's hydrogen sulfide blowing around there and that's definitely going to cause heart and kidney problems over time, among other things...

http://mashable.com/2016/03/31/antarctic-ice-sheet-melt-sea-level/
Quote: "The breakup of the massive Larsen C Ice Shelf in Antarctica is getting closer and will eventually produce an iceberg the size of Delaware prowling the Southern Ocean, according to new NASA data. On Friday, NASA released an astonishing new image taken by researchers flying above the ice shelf on Nov. 10 showing the crack is getting longer, deeper and wider. Scientists think it will eventually cause a large section of the shelf to break off. The scientists associated with a NASA field campaign known as Operation IceBridge measured the Larsen C fracture to be about 70 miles long, more than 300 feet wide and about a third of a mile deep."

Quote: "'It appears that the entire coast off Washington, Oregon, and California is a giant methane seep,' said Robert Ballard, founder of Ocean Exploration Trust, in a statement."
Note: Just a matter of time until the ocean off the West Coast turns into a regular firebomb-spewing machine and flamethrower. Ditto for the East Coast, and the Laptev Sea area in the Arctic, and the coast of New Zealand, and the sea off the coast of Israel, and so on and so on...

http://ponziworld.blogspot.com/2016/12/artificial-intelligence-has-taken-over.html
Quote: "The globalized economy is a colossal Ponzi Scheme in which the vast majority survive on the bread crumbs falling off the table. The possibility of 7 billion people achieving a consumption-oriented lifestyle is zero, so the World Bank conveniently set the poverty line at $1.25/day to legalize global slavery. As long as someone else's children are doing the suffering, it's 'all good'. Post-2008, this illusion was extended merely by plundering all future generations."
Note: 'All future generations'? As if there were going to be any. It all makes a kind of sense when you realize that there aren't going to be any future generations...

It was so bad that work had to be stopped because of the harmful gases. That tells us the whole ground in these communities are polluted as well,' Mr Hepburn claimed. He believes that the gas was hydrogen sulfide."
Note: Wouldn't be so sure the hydrogen sulfide in the ground has anything to do with the industrial plants, but it's possible that it does. Either way, the natives grow restless...

Note: Yeeha, more killer tanker truck crashes in our future. As if things weren't bad enough, Republicans are working hard to make things even worse! On the plus side, unlike the relaxing of methane emission regulations, which will hasten the death of everyone on the planet, these particular trucking safety changes will just kill more Americans but won't affect people in other countries. Maybe Republicans are working for OUR funeral industry - wouldn't want the UK to out-die us!

Quote: "The latest WWF Living Planet Report shows us that the planet is a whole lot less alive than it used to be. And that we killed that life. That we replaced it with metal, bricks, plastic and concrete. Mass consumption leads to mass extinction. And that is fully predictable, it always was; there’s nothing new there. We killed 58% of all vertebrate wildlife just between 1970 and 2012, and at a rate of 2% per year we will have massacred close to 70% of it by 2020, just 4 years from now."

Note: Look at people with agendas try to spin that - and yet AFTER that drop the temps are still almost as high as they were at the PEAK of the late 90s El Nino. So, the trend is still up, up and away. And nowhere is there any mention of atmospheric methane levels, which continue climbing. Think they'll catch on before they're literally ON FIRE? Hah, wouldn't bet on it...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2016/12/11/atmospheric-levels-of-methane-a-powerful-greenhouse-gas-are-spiking-scientists-report/
Quote: "'Methane in the atmosphere was almost flat from about 2000 through 2006. Beginning 2007, it started upward, but in the last two years, it spiked,' said Rob Jackson, an earth scientist at Stanford University who co-wrote the study."
Quote: "The authors of the 2016 Global Methane Budget report found that in the early years of this century, concentrations of methane rose by only about 0.5ppb each year, compared with 10ppb in 2014 and 2015. The scientists speculate that agriculture may be the main source of the additional methane that has been recorded."
Note: So scientists think that we started doing TWENTY TIMES more agriculture on this planet, suddenly, starting in 2014? It never occurred to them that those hundreds or thousands of kilometer-wide seeps spewing methane from the seabed in the Arctic might have something to do with it? Derp. Maybe they work for the Retarded Scientists Institute or something...

http://www.sciencealert.com/there-s-a-giant-crater-in-east-antarctica-and-it-s-very-bad-news
Quote: "Scientists have visited a vast, 2-kilometre-wide (1.2-mile) ice crater in East Antarctica for the first time, and after years of speculation, say they finally know how it got there. Despite media reports suggesting that the crater was left behind by a meteorite strike, the team says the giant circle is the result of a meltwater lake collapsing under the surface - and it’s a signal that the coldest place on Earth might be far less stable than we thought."

http://www.sott.net/article/336861-Giant-rivers-in-the-sky-could-cause-extinction-level-floods
Quote: "Atmospheric rivers - narrow corridors of concentrated moisture suspended in the atmosphere - were responsible for the mysterious mass die-off of wild Olympia oysters in San Francisco Bay in 2011, scientists have found. This is the first documented case of these 'rivers in the sky' - which can hold 15 times more water than the Mississippi River - directly harming an entire population, and they’re expected to increase in frequency, intensity, and unpredictability as the global climate warms."
Note: What happens when significant amounts of hydrogen sulfide and/or methane in the atmosphere get into those 'rivers in the sky'? Both are water-soluble. Deadly poisonous flaming rivers in the sky? Already had people drop dead after storms - 41 children and some animals in Indonesia, 8 people in Australia, 5 people in Kuwait, all after storms rolled in off the ocean. Things that make you go 'Hmmmm...'

2016-12-17 - Unknown odor sickening people in coastal Seal Beach and coastal Huntington Beach (California):
http://www.presstelegram.com/environment-and-nature/20161216/whats-that-smell-residents-in-seal-beach-huntington-beach-want-answers
http://www.sott.net/article/337248-Outgassing-More-reports-of-noxious-odors-around-Southern-California-beaches
Quote: "Periodically and unpredictably, mysterious chemical-like fumes drift into Rhonda Wainwright’s home not far from Huntington Beach’s Central Park. The noxious odors have induced headaches, burning of the eyes and throat, nosebleeds and vomiting, she says. Even her dog and two cats have retched during the malodorous episodes that 'about knocks you on your knees,' said Wainwright."
Quote: "Roughly 6 miles away in coastal Seal Beach, resident Susan Perrell reports suffering similar foul odors. Perrell, an environmental adviser to an oil and gas company, also describes a petroleum-like stench that can be intense enough to 'knock you over.' Their experiences are far from isolated."
Quote: "Last month, air-quality regulators saw a spike in such complaints in the Huntington Beach and Seal Beach areas. Over several consecutive days, the South Coast Air Quality Management District fielded dozens of calls involving 'a nasty egg odor (or a) petroleum odor,' said agency spokesman Sam Atwood."
Quote: "Residents also have lodged complaints with fire officials, the gas company and others, seeking help in pinpointing the source of the smells, which many say have increased in frequency and intensity over the past two years."
Note: Most likely this is hydrogen sulfide blowing ashore. In early October, hydrogen sulfide hit coastal Goleta (California), mentioned in the 2016-10-09 update. In mid-October hydrogen sulfide hit coastal South Laguna (California), mentioned in the 2016-10-13 update...

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/12/15/north_carolina_legislative_coup_public_barred_from_chambers_reporter_arrested.html
Quote: "The North Carolina GOP, facing the defeat of incumbent Gov. Pat McCrory on November 8, are doing everything they can to hold onto power, even if it means literally rewriting state law. Such is the decaying state of American democracy in 2016."
Quote: "The North Carolina General Assembly is currently debating a series of Republican-sponsored laws designed to strip power from the newly progressive governor and state Supreme Court. If passed, these measures would have far-reaching effects on the state, significantly curtailing judicial independence, loosening environmental standards, diminishing the quality of public education, and preserving unlawful voter suppression laws. However, the public was not able to witness the debate over this de facto legislative coup on Thursday afternoon after the Assembly decided to close the House and Senate galleries and arrest a group of protesters, as well as a reporter."

2016-12-21 - Legal medical marijuana results in fewer traffic fatalities:
http://patch.com/pennsylvania/radnor/s/fzbsn/medical-marijuana-laws-connected-to-fewer-traffic-deaths
Quote: "Since 1985, American states that passed laws permitting medical marijuana use have seen significant reductions in the number of traffic fatalities. On average, these states had lower rates of automobile-related deaths than states without medical marijuana laws."
Quote: "Traffic fatalities fell 11 percent after enacting medical marijuana laws and had 26 percent lower rates of such deaths on average compared to other states. As of November 2016, 28 states and Washington, D.C., had legalized medical marijuana to some extent, though it remains illegal at the federal level."
2016-12-22 - Workers hit pocket of hydrogen sulfide in the ground in coastal Corpus Christi (Texas):
http://www.kristv.com/story/34118781/residents-asked-to-stay-inside-during-gas-leak-scare
Quote: "A number of people were told to stay in their homes during a gas leak scare on the southside this evening. It happened near a neighborhood off Tiger Lane, not too far from Yeager Elementary. It all started when a crew was drilling into the ground to get some soil samples. That's when they hit a pocket of Hydrogen Sulfide gas, which smells like rotten egg and is extremely hazardous. We're told the crew left the drill in the ground to contain the gas as much as possible, then called the fire department, which along with police, asked nearby residents to stay in their homes."
Note: Yikes. So you can be walking along around there and a cloud of hydrogen sulfide burps from the ground and kills you. Sounds similar to the hydrogen sulfide found in the ground in Chinchilla (Australia), last mentioned in the 2015-04-13 update. No cause was ever found for why there's hydrogen sulfide in the ground there...

2016-12-23 - Rotten egg smell hits homes in coastal Tampa (Florida), blamed on odorant:
http://thetampaplug.com/teco-investigates-gas-leak-like-smell-no-leaks-found/
http://wfla.com/2016/12/21/equipment-failure-causing-gas-leak-like-smell-in-south-tampa/
http://latestnewsheadlines.ddns.net/news/teco-investigates-gasleak-like-smell-no-leaks-found
http://www.tampabay.com/news/business/energy/no-gas-leak-detected-but-equipment-failure-sent-odor-wafting-across-south/2307098
Note: They use mercaptan to add a rotten egg odor to natural gas, which is normally odorless. But even if this WAS mercaptan, mercaptan is essentially the same as hydrogen sulfide: flammable, poisonous, neurotoxic. As per this CDC document: "Because no useful data on acute inhalation toxicity are available on which to base the IDLH for methyl mercaptan, the chosen IDLH is based on an analogy with hydrogen sulfide. ACGIH [1971] reported that some investigators show toxicities of the same magnitude for hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan [Ljunggren and Norberg 1943]; others indicate that the toxicity of methyl mercaptan is somewhat less than that of hydrogen sulfide [DeRekowski 1893; Frankel 1921]."
So maybe it's not QUITE as deadly as hydrogen sulfide, but either way, these homes just got hit by poison gas of one kind or another. It couldn't have been very concentrated, or they'd all be dead, but still, breathing deadly poison gas is not apt to be good for you, even if it's not concentrated...
2016-12-23 - US melanoma rate rising:

http://www.fxncc.com/us-melanoma-rate-is-rising-study-finds/77353/
Quote: "More Americans are developing the potentially deadly skin cancer known as melanoma than in the past, new research shows. In 2016, one out of every 54 Americans was expected to develop a potentially lethal, invasive melanoma over their lifetime -- up from the one in 58 estimate when the same tally was performed in 2009."
Note: The atmosphere's UV protection is being reacted away. That makes the Sun look whiter because more 'blue' light is getting through. That causes melanoma. Back when AH was a boy, the Sun was yellow. Not anymore. The extra UV also causes more mutations, more two-headed babies and animals, more albinism, more genetic chimeras, that kind of thing - DNA/RNA damage. This problem will eventually be bad enough that crops won't grow. One way to prolong life as we know it would be for large numbers of planes to spray the skies in grid patterns with chemicals that block UV, especially between the Sun and population centers and croplands, much like the grid patterns used in radiation protection screens on microwaves but on a bigger scale. Ever really watch the skies in the last decade? Lots of grid patterns in the skies. That's not only not a coincidence, that's a desperation measure, a last-ditch effort to buy us a little time, and one not without detrimental side effects of its own...

http://levittownnow.com/2016/12/24/foul-smell-wafts-lower-bucks-county/
Quote: "It was determined that the smell came from the Paulsboro Refinery in Paulsboro, Gloucester County. Police say the refinery released approximately 130 pounds of Sulfer Dioxide and 9 pounds of Hydrogen Sulfide around 10:30 p.m. Friday."
Note: Another day, another area getting hit by poison gas. Not sure I buy that refinery leak excuse. When hydrogen sulfide breaks down in the atmosphere, it forms sulfur dioxide and water, and the winds were blowing in from off the ocean when this occurred (I checked), and this was smelled all the way from coastal Toms River (New Jersey) to Philadelphia (Pennsylvania)...
2016-12-24 - Sulfury rotten egg odor smelled in various parts of Jackson (Michigan):
http://www.mlive.com/news/jackson/index.ssf/2016/12/firefighters_unable_to_pinpoin.html
Quote: "The reports mostly came from the west side, but they stretched from Loomis Park on Gilbert Street to Walmart on W. Michigan Avenue, said Capt. Bob Walkowicz, who wrote five reports on natural gas odor investigations. Summit Township firefighters had two reports around 9 p.m. Dec. 24. Walkowicz said Consumers Energy representatives and Blackman-Leoni Township public safety officers also were involved. The smell was not consistent despite an almost total lack of wind Saturday night, Walkowciz said."
Note: No natural gas leaks detected anywhere. They appear to be assuming this was natural gas, when it likely wasn't, which is why they couldn't find anything. A rotten egg smell just hit coastal Tampa (Florida) the day prior too, mentioned in the 2016-12-23 update...
