2017-07-01 - More methane domes explode and burn and create craters on the Yamal Peninsula (Russia):

Quote: "Locals say they saw flames and smoke as a major bubble of methane blasted below the surface and created another sinkhole in the Russian Arctic peninsula. Reindeer herders in the area of Seyakh, a village on the eastern coast of the Yamal Peninsula in the morning of June 28th reported the incident to the local authorities. They say that they from the distance saw flaring flames and a column of smoke from the area, TASS reports. It is believed that the explosion took place place about 30-40 km from Seyakh."

Quote: "The formation of both craters involved an explosion followed by fire, evidently signs of the eruption of methane gas pockets under the Yamal surface."

Note: These methane domes exploding are going to be like what happens when you cook popcorn. First there's one or two 'popping' then a few more then more, and so on, rising in frequency to a crescendo, then eventually falling again in frequency as there are fewer left TO explode - a bell curve. I highly doubt the human race will be around by the time these methane explosions reach their frequency peak. And as more methane and hydrogen sulfide contaminate the atmosphere, there will be, among other things, problems with planes and other aircraft, with aircraft smoking or igniting or just plain exploding mid-air...

2017-07-05 - 'Sewerage odor' hits medical practice in North Hykeham (Britain), people thought it was gas leak:
http://www.lincolnshirelive.co.uk/news/local-news/suspected-gas-leak-north-hykeham-166863

Quote: "A medical practice in North Hykeham was forced to close after a gas leak was reported. Firefighters and gas workers were called to the Crossroads Medical Practice in Lincoln Road, North Hykeham, after the suspected gas leak on the premises. Members of the public were urged to stay away. However, the suspected gas leak ended up being 'a sewerage type smell in the air'."

Note: Whew, no gas leak, just some poison gas. And here's another event involving people confusing the smell of natural gas (or rather the odorant added to natural gas) with hydrogen sulfide, which is commonly called 'sewer gas'...

http://phys.org/news/2017-07-sulfide-producing-bacteria-dominate-hydraulically-fractured.html
http://www.longroom.com/discussion/566698/sulfide-producing-bacteria-dominate-hydraulically-fractured-oil-gas-wells

Quote: "Practiced for only the last decade, not much is known about the microbial ecosystems in the fracture networks. Sulfide-producing microbes cause multiple problems for drilling operations. Hydrogen sulfide can 'sour' a well and must be separated from oil and gas in an expensive process. Sulfides can be toxic to the workers on the drilling pad and can also corrosively degrade metal pipelines."

http://www.telemundoamarillo.com/story/35827496/montgomery-municipal-justice-center-evacuated-over-strange-smell

Quote: "The Montgomery Fire Department was called to investigate reports of a 'gas odor' at the Montgomery Municipal Justice Center on Madison Avenue Thursday afternoon after employees complained of a strange smell. Sgt. Omari Whiting said a team was brought in to monitor the air quality but no alerts were received, so the air was deemed safe."

Note: Their natural gas detectors aren't ever going to pick up hydrogen sulfide...

2017-07-06 - 'Gas odor' hits coastal Gosport then coastal Portsmouth then coastal Fareham (Britain):
http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/our-region/portsmouth/source-of-gas-smell-in-portsmouth-region-unknown-1-8046603

Quote: "Gas network managers say that the origin of a gas smell that covered the region yesterday remains a mystery. The smell appears to have originated in Gosport, before spreading to Portsmouth and Fareham."

Note: That's exactly how it might spread if it was hydrogen sulfide blowing in off the ocean. The utility company didn't find any problems or leaks with their equipment, nor did they mentioned detecting any natural gas in the air. It's highly likely that this was hydrogen sulfide that bubbled out of the ocean and hit the coast here. Once this happens with more concentrated clouds of gas then there will be entire cities full of people going insane, dropping dead and burning. That could begin anytime. Here's a Google Maps link of the area...

2017-07-06 - Man falls off kayak, gets back in then has 'medical problem' and loses consciousness, on the Sauk River in Stearns County (Minnesota):
http://www.sctimes.com/story/news/local/2017/07/07/kayaker-rescued-after-medical-problem-river/458760001/

Quote: "A kayaker on the Sauk River helped rescue another kayaker who had a medical problem Sunday and was unresponsive on his watercraft. Stearns County deputies credited Steven Cole, of St. Cloud, with helping them get the stranded kayaker out of the river and to the hospital for treatment. Richard Stoplman was kayaking on the Sauk, near Heim's Mill, when his kayak capsized. A person who lives along the river called to report that Stolpman was able to get back into the kayak but soon after appeared unresponsive."

Note: So he had his medical problem right after he doused his head with water. The easiest way to see if water is safe nowadays is to put your head in it. If you don't have a medical problem or die then the water was okay...

Oxnard reached 90 degrees, up from 87 back in 1992. Camarillo registered 88 degrees, topping a 1997 record of 87. Temperatures in the city of Riverside reached 108 degrees, beating a record of 106 set in 1908. Elsinore also set a new record. Temperatures there rose to 114 degrees, the highest since 1921. On Friday, Palm Springs hit 122 degrees. Its previous high for July 7 was 117 back in 1976. Southern California is under an excessive heat warning with triple-digit temps expected in valleys and inland areas."

http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/database/index.php?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=UGE-20170712-58992-MEX
http://www.straitstimes.com/world/americas/underground-explosion-rocks-mexican-town

Quote: "Residents in a sleepy Mexican town fear that a new volcano is bubbling under the ground after an eruption of gas and smoke emerged from a field, local media reported. Cracks have appeared on the ground in Pueblo Viejo in the southern state of Michoacan, with temperatures of some 250 degrees registered in the subsoil. Local residents gathered at the site with preliminary investigations revealing that the cause of the eruption was geothermal activity from an underground swamp. Smoke has been rising from the ground since Sunday and local authorities have set up a security cordon to stop residents from getting close and possibly getting burnt by the high temperatures."

Note: So an underground swamp is burning? That swamp must have some methane and/or hydrogen sulfide in it then, cuz water doesn't usually burn by itself...

Quote: "A rotten egg smell coming from SA Water’s Wastewater Pump Station on Frederick Rd is causing a stink among nearby residents and businesses. Peter and Sarka Laznicka, who live on adjacent Lochside Dr in West Lakes, said the smell is so intense they wake up in the mornings with headaches from being exposed to it."

Quote: "Dr Laznicka, a retired geology professor, said residents had been overwhelmed by hydrogen sulphide — the gas that smells like rotten eggs — for decades until it subsided for a period, only to recently make a return. 'Several years ago, SA Water started pumping sewage to Bolivar (and) the smell stopped, now it is back,' Dr Laznicka said. 'Sometimes it terribly smells from canals under Wilson St, or a smelly cloud envelopes the neighbourhood. It seems that the hydrogen sulphide release starts in certain times of day, maybe at night, or on weekends. We are powerless to move authorities to do anything.'"

Quote: "Baffled eyewitnesses have reported seeing the bizarre circles in several incidents over the past two months. The latest phenomena was spotted in the UK on Sunday afternoon near Birkenshaw, West Yorks, on the M62. The circle resembled a giant smoke ring but West Yorkshire Fire Service said there had been no reports of a fire. The Met Office also confirmed the ring also did not appear to be weather-related."

Note: Those look like carbon remnants of clouds of methane and/or hydrogen sulfide igniting in the atmosphere and burning off in 'flash fires'. If there's enough methane and/or hydrogen sulfide present, then the cloud will auto-ignite, no ignition source necessary - the atmosphere itself bursts into flame. So as the atmosphere is increasingly contaminated with both gases, you'd expect there to be 'smoke rings' like these appearing here and there, and that is happening. This won't always happen way above the ground either. Sometimes it'll happen at ground-level and ignite homes or cars, or start brush fires, or burn people to death, etc. You won't see it coming either, because both gases are invisible...

http://www.theolympian.com/news/business/article161156398.html

Quote: "The Carmel Fire Department evacuated several businesses Thursday, after 14 people were sent to the hospital with sudden flu-like symptoms. The call came just before 11 a.m. as a potential hazardous odor in the building, located near 106th and Meridian streets, and within minutes several ambulances and hazmat vehicles were on scene. The department Public Information Officer Tim Griffin told the media that when emergency crews arrived, around 30-40 people were complaining of flu-like symptoms after being in a conference room together since 10 a.m."

Quote: "'Actually, it was a health and wellness seminar,' said Woodward. 'We do this every month.'"

Quote: "'Shortly after it started we had one man fall down and pass out,' he said, 'Right after that we all kind of moved over to this guy, and another guy went down face first.' At that point, Woodward said, he knew it wasn't an isolated medical emergency and he decided to evacuate his employees and call 911."

Note: So at least two people face-planted and dozens of others sickened, and they didn't discover the cause of the odor. Think they'll be able to figure it out when it's an apartment building full of dead people, or a school full of dead children? We'll see...

http://article.wn.com/view/2017/07/15/29_people_sickened_at_UWMadison_health_clinic_cause_unknown/

Quote: "Twenty-nine people were taken to hospitals Friday after becoming ill at a University of Wisconsin-Madison health clinic, the Madison Fire Department reported. The cause of the outbreak about 10:30 a.m. at the UW Health West Clinic in the 400 block of Junction Road remained under investigation Friday, according to a Fire Department news release. Clinic officials were exploring whether sewer gas entered the building, according to the release."

Quote: "A patient who was being taken to a hospital said the smell of sewer gas that wafted into the ambulance was similar to the odor she smelled inside the clinic."

Quote: "'The hazardous materials team checked the air quality, and all levels indicated normal amounts of oxygen and no carbon monoxide,' Schuster said."

Note: You can have normal levels of oxygen and no carbon monoxide and still fall over dead from inhaling one breath of hydrogen sulfide. Also, there are two sewer gases, methane and hydrogen sulfide. One of them, methane, is odorless. So when someone SMELLS 'sewer gas', it's hydrogen sulfide...

2017-07-16 - Two men have simultaneous 'medical emergencies' at jail in Tallahassee (Florida):
http://www.wctv.tv/content/news/Two-inmates-overdose-at-Leon-County-Jail-434306143.html

Quote: "Two Leon County Jail inmates who were rushed to the hospital after suffering a 'medical emergency' on Thursday are back in jail. The Leon County Sheriff's Office says the inmates suffered a 'medical emergency.' Initial reports suggested that the inmates had overdosed on an unknown substance, but LCSO Lt. Grady Jordan says, at this time, there is no indication of an overdose. Lt. Jordan added that no drugs were found during a search of the inmates' jail cells."

Note: So not an overdose, just two men having 'medical emergencies' at the same time in the same place...

http://tribuneonlineng.com/strange-lightening-causes-stir-osogbo/
http://www.sott.net/article/356940-Strange-lightning-causes-a-stir-in-Osogbo-Nigeria

Quote: "The incident, which occurred around 9.30pm created fear as some people residing in these areas, who also claimed they heard deafening sound similar to resounding explosion ran outside their houses to ascertain the cause of the strange development."

Quote: "According to her, 'we also heard some continuous sound, like when an electric transformer is humming at a frenetic pace. Some people were saying maybe Jesus had come. However, not quite five minutes later, the great lightening fizzled away and darkness resurfaced.'"

Note: The explosion could have been lightning igniting a plume of methane and/or hydrogen sulfide. Five minutes of crackling transformer sound though - got me there. But hydrogen sulfide is the best superconductor ever discovered by mankind, so perhaps it had something to do with that AND the explosion sound...

Quote: "Global warming may be unleashing new sources of heat-trapping methane from layers of oil and gas that have been buried deep beneath Arctic permafrost for millennia. As the Earth's frozen crust thaws, some of that gas appears to be finding new paths to the surface through permafrost that's starting to resemble Swiss cheese in some areas, scientists said. In a study released today, the scientists used aerial sampling of the atmosphere to locate methane sources from permafrost along a 10,000 square-kilometer swath of the Mackenzie River Delta in northwestern Canada, an area known to have oil and gas desposits. Deeply thawed pockets of permafrost, the research suggests, are releasing 17 percent of all the methane measured in the region, even though the emissions hotspots only make up 1 percent of the surface area, the scientists found."

2017-07-19 - Indicators of geothermal heat under the Greenland glacier:
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2017/07/geothermal-heat-under-greenland-glacier.html

Quote: "Steamers rising from the Greenland glacier could be a sign of geothermal heat under the glacier. If so, it is much about ideas and theories about the Earth's crust in Greenland, according to volcanologists. 'Men have not noticed this until now. There's something going on there. We just do not know what it is,' says Haraldur Sigurðsson, volcanologist, who discusses the steam bulbs on his website."

Note: Uh huh, that's heat rising from BELOW. There's nothing we can do about that...

2017-07-19 - Humans have created a billion elephants worth of plastic:
http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/nation/2017/07/19/humans-have-produced-18-2-trillion-pounds-plastic-since-50-s-thats-equal-size-1-billion-elephants/494082001/

Quote: "Humans have produced 18.2 trillion pounds of plastics since large-scale production began in the early 1950s and we've put most of it in the trash. That weight is equivalent to 1 billion elephants or 25,000 Empire State Buildings. Nearly 80% of that plastic now resides in landfills or the natural environment, according to a study published Wednesday. And we’re just getting started: Scientists say that by 2050, another 26.5 trillion pounds will be produced worldwide."

Note: I doubt anyone's gonna be making plastic - or anything else - in 2050. Problem solved!

Quote: "A powerful overnight earthquake shook holiday resorts in Greece and Turkey, injuring nearly 500 people and leaving two tourists dead on the Greek island of Kos, where revelers at a bar were crushed in a building collapse. Some of the injuries were caused as tourists and local residents scrambled out of buildings and even leapt from balconies after the 6.5-magnitude quake struck at about 1:30 a.m. local time. Several hundred thousand vacationers and locals in the two countries were kept awake by dozens of aftershocks that followed the main quake, with many sleeping outdoors on sunbeds or slumped on cafe tables. Authorities on Kos said the two dead tourists were from Sweden and Turkey."

Quote: "Beaver Lake tested positive earlier this month for a type of blue-green algae that produces harmful cyanotoxins, prompting the Capital Regional District to warn visitors against swimming or allowing their animals to splash in the water. Toxic chemicals produced by blue-green algae — also known as cyanobacteria — have been found in hundreds of lakes across Canada in recent years, particularly in the prairies. The increasing prevalence of these single-celled organisms is a bit of a mystery, according to biologist Charles Trick at Western University in Ontario. 'We've been seeing it a lot more over the last decade,' Trick said."

http://wjhl.com/2017/07/21/atmos-investigates-calls-about-natural-gas-smell-in-johnson-city/

Quote: "Atmos says it is working as quickly and safely as they possibly can, but have not found any leaks thus far. Atmos says it is also working with first responders as they all try to figure out the source of the strange odor."

Note: Natural gas is odorless, so they add methyl mercaptan to it, which smells like 'rotten eggs', since methyl mercaptan is made with hydrogen sulfide. In other words, hydrogen sulfide smells just like methyl mercaptan, at least at low concentrations, so people are getting confused and reporting 'natural gas' smells, when at least a lot of the time what they're smelling is hydrogen sulfide blowing by in the atmosphere. Which explains so many of these events where no natural gas is detected by their natural gas detectors and no leaks are found...

http://www.kgwn.tv/content/news/The-City-of-Laramie-Parks-and-Rec-department-is-making-efforts-to-stop-the-odor-from-LaBonte-Lake-436514043.html

Quote: "The temperature of the lake has exceeded 50 degrees and eliminated the thermocline that would have been responsible for keeping decaying material found at the bottom of the lake from surfacing. This decaying material is the source of the odor as it is releasing both carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide."

Note: The same things is happening to the oceans as they heat up. The difference is that the oceans will ultimately spew enough hydrogen sulfide to exterminate most life on the surface of the Earth, just as has happened before in Earth's past. Bugs, weeds, bacteria, jellyfish, fungi - that'll be the stuff that survives best. Higher life forms will mostly all die. Human beings are one of THE most vulnerable species to extinction events like the current one, so there's basically no chance of human beings surviving on this planet. Anybody could already drop dead or burn to death by tomorrow, and things are only going to get worse from here on out...

http://www.sott.net/article/357611-Earthquake-measuring-4-5-recorded-at-Katla-Icelands-most-powerful-volcano

Quote: "A strong smell of sulfur has descended on the town of Vík in South Iceland following yesterday's powerful earthquake in the sub glacial volcano Katla. Katla is hidden beneath the ice cap of Mýrdalsjökull glacier. Vík is located in the foothills of the glacier."

Quote: "The smell is caused by Hydrogen sulfide which is emitted at geothermal areas. It is not unusual for Múlakvísl river to smell of sulfur, but the smell today is unusually powerful, and is probably connected to yesterday's seismic activity."

http://www.columbiagasohio.com/about-us/news-room/news/2017/07/27/we-re-responding-to-an-odor-in-the-columbus-area

Quote: "Along with local fire departments, we are receiving calls about an odor in the Columbus area. So far, we have not found any evidence that natural gas is responsible for the odor. Natural gas has a sharp and distinctive odor, often described as 'rotten eggs.' The odor includes sulfur, the same compound that produces an odor after a match is struck."

Note: I mentioned this possibility a month or two or three ago, when a large section of ice was found turning green in Antarctica from bacteria or algae growing there. This is the kind of problem that can spread very rapidly, and it looks like that's happening. Whatever the projections were for the melting of Greenland and Antarctica, those projections were made without factoring in this ice-darkening problem...

http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2017/07/david-wasdell-at-least-5c-of-warming.html

Note: It'll be way worse than that. It might be that bad if suddenly emissions stopped, but they're accelerating, although human emissions have leveled off - which means the rising emissions are from the Earth itself. Ergo, we don't matter anymore, and things will get much, much worse, and this planet will not be habitable by human beings for much longer. Arguably it's not all that habitable now, seeing as anyone can fall over dead or burn to death by tomorrow...

2017-07-31 - Record for earliest crossing of the Northwest Passage set as Arctic ice continues disintegrating:

http://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2017/07/29/icebreaker-sets-record-for-earliest-transit-of-the-northwest-passage/

Note: Now we're looking at records for who can cross the Northwest Passage the earliest. For most of my life, and for virtually the entirety of human civilization, nobody could EVER make the Northwest Passage because there was too much ice, even in the summer. Not anymore! A 'blue sea event' will be coming soon, and then things will get drastically worse in terms of people falling over dead and burning to death...
