Event Update For 2017-01-16





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.

Ramsay said the men were overwhelmed by a combination of methane and hydrogen sulfide gas coming out of the 15-foot deep hole."

The false killer whales were reported stranded off south Florida on Saturday afternoon in the Everglades. There's no word yet on what happened or what caused them to beach themselves. The false killer whale is the fourth-largest dolphin and the species is listed as endangered."

Quote: "There have only been two previous strandings of False Killer Whales in Florida. One in 1986 in Key West where 28 animals were involved and another in 1989 at Cedar Key, which is near Tampa. That incident had 40 dolphins and most of them were able to swim away; just three were beached."

Quote: "It is the largest recorded stranding of such whales in Florida, officials said."

http://money.cnn.com/2017/01/17/technology/lithium-ion-battery-fire-prevention-stanford/index.html

Quote: "Researchers have designed a lithium-ion battery that contains a fire-extinguishing material, which is released if the battery gets too hot. Flame retardant triphenyl phosphate (TPP) sits inside a shell within the electrolyte fluid. The shell melts when the temperature reaches 150C (302F), releasing the chemical compound. In tests, battery fires were extinguished in 0.4 seconds."

  1. Hey, Jonny - good to hear that the ice is abating out there. Here it lingers in the Poconos (where people like to ski and snow-board) and up in the northeast corner of PA. Everywhere else temps are in the 40's and 50's. Much more comin'!

    Aquatic life is dying off hard now (well, for the past few years). Thing is, we don't even know how extensive it is because we only see what washes up or beaches on the shoreline. There are places (dead zones) where any living thing nonchalantly swimming in dies instantly. Off the Pacific coast, we read (last year?) that there are miles of sea bottom completely devoid of marine life.

    Installing a fire extinguisher in batteries is a great start, but manufacturers of vehicles should do the same around gas tanks and hoods, maybe put a big one under the headliner so people don't fry as often. Just a thought.

    Let's see what's happenin':

    Some lady out for a walk happened upon a couple of guns stashed in a violin case in the woods near the C&O Canal along the Potomac River in Washington, DC. After the police were called in, more weapons caches were found, including long guns, pistols, and ammunition in pails and garbage bags tucked away in an area of the woods hikers aren't known to frequent.
