Event Update For 2017-01-04

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.

2017-01-04 - Hydrogen sulfide hits parts of Moscow (Russia), people sickened:

http://true-news.info/moscow-residents-complain-of-smell-of-hydrogen-sulfide-smashing-on-the-street-and-in-the-apartments/
http://en.news-4-u.ru/the-moscow-refinery-has-commented-on-reports-of-an-increased-proportion-of-hydrogen-sulfide.html
http://www.interfax.com/newsinf.asp?id=726098

Quote: "Moscow residents continue to complain of a strong smell of hydrogen sulfide in the air on the street and in the apartment, covered with messages of emergency services. In the MOE does not yet give any comments, and from Muscovites in social networks have already received a few reports that people are starting to become bad."

Quote: "We will remind, the first messages to the community about a strong smell of hydrogen sulfide in the air appeared in the second half of the day Wednesday, January 4th. First, the increased content of substance in the air was felt only on the street, and later, the tenants began to complain, and in a similar situation in their apartments."

Note: This is now at least the third time that hydrogen sulfide has hit Moscow. A huge cloud of hydrogen sulfide hit Moscow in November 2014, mentioned in the 2014-11-10 update. Residents were told to shelter-in-place during that event and soldiers in gas masks were on the streets. Then high levels of hydrogen sulfide hit Moscow again in July 2016, mentioned in the 2016-07-04 update...

2017-01-04 - Palm trees regularly going up in flames along US 101 near coastal San Jose (California):
http://sfbay.ca/2017/01/04/chp-probes-highway-101-palm-tree-fires/

Quote: "Spokesmen from both agencies stressed that they don’t know if fires are being intentionally set and that they have not opened an official investigation, but that they are 'keeping an eye on' the area."

Note: Could be the palm trees are spontaneously igniting. Had lots of towns along the coast in California getting hit by rotten egg odors and hydrogen sulfide in the last few months, and there's surely some odorless methane blowing ashore too, and palm trees have rubbery adsorbent 'skin', so once they adsorb enough flammable gas(es) on their skin, they may burst into flame. Not much different from the incidents involving cardboard/clothing/paper that have burst into flame...
