Event Update For 2017-08-14

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.

Ocean Blvd. and drifted down to the neighboring hotel to the south."

Quote: "The chemical that caused the poisonous cloud was also a mystery Monday afternoon. 'I’m not sure if it was just something to do with the pool, or something else,' Evans said. 'We were monitoring the area to try to figure out where it started, where it happened. At this time, it seems like whatever it was has cleared up,' Evans said, as hazmat technicians packed up to clear the scene less than two hours later. 'We’ve not had anything to show up on our monitor to pinpoint exactly where it was.'"

'We got called out to a naked man jumping into cars and honking,' Fredrik Bergström, head of the police station in nearby Skövde, told regional newspaper GT, about the incident which happened at 11am."

2017-08-14 - 91 volcanoes found under the ice in Antarctica:
http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/world/337150/a-study-of-ice-and-fire
http://strangesounds.org/2017/08/largest-volcanic-region-on-earth-with-91-volcanoes-antarctica-map.html

Quote: "Scientists believe they have found the largest volcanic region on earth - under the ice of Antarctica."

Quote: "The study's authors said Antarctic ice melt could have "profound impacts" for volcanic activity in the region. 'Research in Iceland has shown that with thinning ice cover, magma production has increased at depth,' they wrote."

Note: There's another feedback. The more the ice melts, the more the volcanoes will erupt, which will melt more ice, and so on...

2017-08-14 - Hot temps melting the Arctic ice away:
http://arctic-news.blogspot.com/2017/08/arctic-sea-ice-break-up-august-2017.html

Quote: "Arctic sea ice is under attack from all sides. At this time of year, the sun doesn't set at the higher latitudes. As the image below shows, it was as hot as 94°F or 34.5°C in North Canada on August 13, 2017 (at the green circle, at 1000 hPa, at 00:00 UTC). Temperatures at surface level were as high as 33.1°C or 91.5°F at that location, where wind was coming from the south and blowing toward the north at a speed of 28 km/h or 17 mph at that time."

http://www.cnbc.com/2017/08/11/climate-change-refugees-grapple-with-effects-of-rising-seas.html

Quote: "Increasingly, the phenomenon of rising sea levels has amplified fears over climate refugees — individuals forced to leave their homes due to changing environmental conditions in their respective homelands. Climate watchers estimate that at least 26 million people around the world have already been displaced, and that figure could balloon to 150 million by 2050, according to the Worldwatch Institute."
