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.

2017-01-17 - Hydrogen sulfide leaking from sewers in coastal Warwick (Rhode Island), smoke test to be performed:
http://warwickpost.com/warwick-sewer-authority-smoke-test-thursday-morning-seeks-odors-source/
Quote: "The mystery cause of odors from sewer lines along Cedar Swamp Road, a long-time source of area residents’ complaints, may soon be uncovered as the Warwick Sewer Authority (WSA) conducts a 'smoke test' of the system there. Janine Burke-Wells, WSA’s Executive Director, said her office has received complaints about odors in the area for the last nine years. In fall of 2011, a sewer line on Cedar Swamp Road, corroded by hydrogen sulfide, collapsed. The corrosive gas, which smells like rotten eggs, also generated complaints from neighbors. Following the collapse, the WSA installed odor control chemicals at three pump stations, removed an obstruction that was causing hydrogen sulfide buildup, adjusted pumping frequencies to prevent stagnant wastes, flushed the lines there, added carbon filters and sent staff to investigate complaints. Those efforts were focused on controlling the odors. Now, 'We would like to prevent the odors, if possible,' she said."
Note: I wonder how many people in this area have dropped dead from heart attacks, strokes and brain aneurysms in the last few years...

Quote: "The onsen study was conducted after a news report last autumn about a man who was found unconscious at a hot spring in Ashoro, a town in Hokkaido, in October 2014. The man showed signs of hydrogen sulfide poisoning. The case prompted the ministry to call on local governments to measure gas levels at onsen in their jurisdictions."

2017-01-17 - More rain to come for Thailand as floods leave 43 dead, 1.6 million affected, 500,000 homes damaged:

http://www.sott.net/article/340038-Update-More-rain-to-come-for-Thailand-as-floods-leave-43-dead-1-6-million-affected-500000-homes-damaged
Note: And another. As the world warms, more moisture enters the atmosphere, and as the methane around the world spews into the atmosphere, it breaks down into CO2 and H20, adding yet more water to the atmosphere. The result is more high-precip events, more snow where it's cold, more rain where it's warm. The methane will cause yet more warming, releasing even more methane and the additional warming will cause yet more water vapor to enter the atmosphere, so high-precip events are going to be getting continuously worse from now on, as they already have been for some time...

So, in case you were wondering if Madoff was still a greedy bastard, using his smarts to fleece the little guy, the answer is a resounding yes. [more]

Food Disruption, Climate Change, and Ocean Sources of Food: Part 1 of 3
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp39u4PXGJ0
[from our favorite nerd, Paul Beckwith]
Published on Jan 18, 2017
I tell the story of how our global food supply, derived from land and ocean, is being severely stressed by climate change caused extreme weather events, ocean warming, acidification and stratification. Destructive farming practices, overfishing and poor aquaculture practices are also exacerbating the problem.
Abrupt climate change cannot be dismissed any longer. We are in a global climate change emergency, and very soon it will severely stress large portions of our global food supply leading to global societal chaos.

Here's a great quote from someone you've read many times, Jonny
ReplyDelete"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'”
