http://www.sott.net/article/350255-Huge-impact-crater-discovered-near-the-Falklands-Islands

Quote: "It is only tentatively identified as a crater, and its age is estimated as Late Paleozoic—so it could be millions of years older than the critical boundary. Further, there is no evidence elsewhere in the world of the fallout for impact—as we know from the later impact at the end of the Cretaceous [period], you expect to find a shopping list of ten or more indicators of impact scattered worldwide, such as shocked quartz and iridium enrichment, but these have not been found. The study of a new crater is massively important, but it’s unlikely it had anything to do with the end-Permian mass extinction."

Note: It's certainly looking increasingly suspicious, with three people with ties to the Russia-Trump investigations fired now. If Trump is innocent then he's an incredible idiot for making himself look so guilty. An innocent man would just let the investigations go and reap the rewards of a huge 'toldyaso' and use that as a weapon against political enemies. A guilty man, though, might try to suppress investigations. Nixon tried that too. It's still possible that Trump is innocent but is actually a big enough idiot to metaphorically shoot himself in the nuts like this though. Guess we'll see what happens. Doesn't really matter though - it's all just petty distracting BS at this point. Regardless of any of that, the president's spokesman trying to hide in some bushes is pretty effin' funny!

http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/database/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=BH-20170509-58152-USA

Quote: "Thurston County Environmental Health officials are warning people and pets to stay away from Summit Lake. Tests confirmed that a blue-green algae bloom on the lake is producing 'extremely high levels' of the toxin Anatonxin-a, a neurotoxin, according to Thurston County Environmental Health. A sample taken last week was at 354 micrograms per liter, while just 1 microgram per liter is reason for a health concern, officials say. Anatoxin-a is a potent toxin that affects the nervous system. Symptoms include lethargy, muscle aches, confusion and memory impairment, according to the state's freshwater algae bloom monitoring program. With a high enough concentration level, it can also cause death, officials say."

'It’s the worst corn replant in our area I’ve ever seen in 28 years,' Bowser, 47, said."

2017-05-23 - Hydrogen sulfide getting into the water supply in Mamou (Louisiana):
http://www.katc.com/story/35490872/water

Quote: "According to microbiologist Wilma Subra, the color is caused by iron and manganese, secondary contaminants that are considered only aesthetic nuisances and are not enforced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The smell, Subra says, is hydrogen sulfide, another substance that's not regulated as harmful. 'It's not something that will impact your health,' Subra says."

Note: Sure sure, hydrogen sulfide is just a deadly poison that the British used to kill Germans during trench warfare in WWI and which has wiped life off this planet before, and nobody knows what the effects are of breathing it or ingesting it chronically, even at low levels, so nothing to worry about. Wait...what?!

http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2017/05/ice-breaking-up-in-chukchi-sea.html

Quote: "For the past eight years in March and April, biologists with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service have flown to the ice of the Chukchi Sea to study polar bears. This spring, they saw something that had never witnessed before. 'Oh man, it was very dramatic,' said Ryan Wilson, wildlife biologist with the agency's polar bear program. 'It wasn't a subtle difference.' Wilson says in less than a week, the sea ice broke up and shifted quickly to the north. The breakup happened faster and earlier than scientists had seen before, forcing them to cut short their research trip."

http://www.salemnews.net/news/local-news/2017/05/high-level-of-hydrogen-sulfide-forces-road-closure/

Quote: "A section of Southeast Boulevard was closed for two hours Sunday evening after a resident reported the smell of natural gas.

Firefighters found the smell coming from the sanitary sewer system and detected a high level of hydrogen sulfide."

Note: People are obviously confusing the smell of hydrogen sulfide with the odorant added to natural gas, as this event illustrates. This isn't the first time...
