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.

http://www.advertiser-tribune.com/news/local-news/2017/09/no-injuries-in-unusual-crash/
Quote: "Sgt. Robert Bour of Tiffin Police Department said Patricia Wurm, 67, was driving a 2012 Chevy Suburban in the parking lot near Asian Grill, 870 W. Market St. Wurm had a medical issue which caused her to lose consciousness and lose control of her vehicle, he said. Bour said the Suburban hit a flower bed in front of Asian Grill and the vehicle shot diagonally through the parking lot. It then struck a curb near Circle K, 806 W. Market St., and sideswiped a telephone pole, he said. The vehicle then crossed five lanes of traffic on West Market Street and was headed toward a stopped vehicle on Brace Avenue, Bour said. Then the damaged left front wheel fell off, causing the vehicle to shoot back north instead of hitting the stopped vehicle. The Suburban came to rest in a private drive between Frisch’s Big Boy, 800 W. Market St., and Circle K, Bour said."

Quote: "Irma trained its sights on Florida and officials warned more than 5 million people that time was running out Friday to evacuate ahead of the deadly hurricane as it followed a path that could take it from one end of the state to the other."
Quote: "Hurricane Irma regained Category 5 status late Friday night as the storm made landfall on the northern coast of Cuba."
Quote: "Many of Irma's victims fled their islands on ferries and fishing boats for fear of Hurricane Jose, a Category 4 storm with 150 mph winds that could punish some places all over again this weekend. 'I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to know that further damage is imminent,' said Inspector Frankie Thomas of the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda."
Quote: "Irma is the first Category 5 hurricane since 1932 whose eye made landfall in Cuba, meteorologist José Rubiera said on Cuba television Saturday. Dictator Gerardo Machado was in power and Americans had just elected President Franklin D. Roosevelt to pull the nation out of the Great Depression."

ReplyDeletei'm gonna wait and see what happens rather than sit there glued to the tv watching hurricane porn. It's gonna be destructive, no question. Crop damage, job losses, flooding, wind damage, structural problems, loss of power, and supply shortages are just SOME of the problems people will be facing on Monday.

Pruitt slams scientists for talking about ‘cause and effect’ of Harvey, Irma
https://thinkprogress.org/pruitt-wont-talk-climate-change-ff5a861ca456/
For Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt, the right time to talk about the link between climate change and hurricanes is… never.
Last week, climate scientists explained how global warming, while not the “cause” of superstorm Harvey, had worsened every aspect of it. This week, scientists have been explaining how climate change helped juice Irma into one of the strongest super-hurricanes on record, with the most sustained high-intensity winds the world has ever seen.

Miami Mayor To Donald Trump: It’s Time To Talk About Climate Change
ReplyDeletehttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/miami-mayor-climate-change-hurricane-irma_us_59b417dee4b0b5e5310683ae
Miami’s Republican mayor says this year’s record-breaking hurricanes are likely a result of climate change, and is calling on President Donald Trump ― who once dismissed global warming as a hoax created “by and for the Chinese” ― to acknowledge the connection. “If this isn’t climate change, I don’t know what is,” Mayor Tomás Regalado told reporters Friday after declaring a State of Local Emergency in his city.

Add in a few hundred pages on how to properly prepare an unblemished goat for sacrifice and you've got an all time bestseller. Human arrogance is only matched in magnitude by human ignorance.

Hurricane Irma will likely cover South Florida with a film of poop
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2017/09/poo-laden-water-around-streets-of-miami.html
South Florida’s sewer infrastructure is particularly vulnerable. Like many urban areas across the US, its wastewater lines are rickety. On top of that, many locals store their sewage in underground septic tanks, whose contents are prone to escape during storms. [more]

America will never recover from Hurricanes Harvey and Irma
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2017/09/america-will-never-recover-from.html
from AutomaticEarth
A number of people have argued over the past few days that Hurricane Harvey will NOT boost the US housing market. As if any such argument would or should be required. Hurricane Irma will not provide any such boost either. News about the ‘resurrection’ of New Orleans post-Katrina has pretty much dried up, but we know scores of people there never returned, in most cases because they couldn’t afford to.
And Katrina took place 12 years ago, well before the financial crisis. How do you think this will play out today? Houston is a rich city, but that doesn’t mean it’s full of rich people only. Most homeowners in the city and its surroundings have no flood insurance; they can’t afford it. But they still lost everything. So how will they rebuild?
We can go on listing all the reasons why, but fact is America is in no position to rebuild. Which is a direct consequence of the fact that the entire nation has been built on credit for decades now. Which in turn makes it extremely vulnerable and fragile. Please do understand that mechanism. Every single inch of the country is in debt.
America has been able to build on debt, but it can’t rebuild on it too, precisely because of that. [more]

"Am I the only observer wondering if Irma may be a fatal blow to the banking system? The mind reels at the insurance implications of what’s about to happen. Urgent obligations triggered by an event of this scale can’t possibly be serviced. Look for it to snap the chain of counterparty leverage that has been propping up the banks, insurers, and pension funds on mere promises for years on end. Finance, both private and public, has been feeding off unreality since well before the tremor of 2008. The destruction of Florida (and whatever else stands in the way up the line) will be as real as it gets.... [more]
Whoa, the storm surge possibilities sound horrifying. So this is the first time that two Cat 4+ storms have hit the US in the same hurricane season. Gonna be a rough year for the insurance industry. Might be the best year they ever have from here on out though.
ReplyDeleteWatch the destruction of an entire state (2nd largest ag area in U.S.) LIVE, as it happens! Geez - this is going to be a disaster beyond words. We'll be describing the aftermath, collateral damage and social upheaval for months (or until the NEXT big problem hits, whichever occurs sooner). It's not like the fires have gone away, or Houston was rebuilt in a week, this one is going to underline how dire our predicament is (and getting worse). We'll see food shortages, fuel price hikes (just when nobody can afford them), political and social upheaval as the "rescue funds" dry up, the "debt ceiling" hits, insurance companies fold, banks fail, the stock market crashes and worldwide problems explode out of control because politicians will HAVE to explain why it got this way and no one will tolerate their bullshit any longer. Rioting, looting, murder - all the everyday fare of our wonderful way of life - will become unmanageable, police forces will fail at restoring order (and may "switch sides" and SUPPORT the destruction), the military will be called in - and some will refuse. It will be a war against the corrupt government, the marrow-sucking banks, and all the toady politicians whose palms are regularly "greased." The funny part - the rich will have no place to hide because EVERYONE knows where they live (just look at their homes, estates or tony addresses)! Bankers heads on pikes, marauding, angry people, armed with everything from acid to machine guns. Fires & explosions everywhere . . .
ReplyDeleteWell, that's one scenario (Mad Max, or Terminator, neither is fun). The collapse will be abrupt, money will lose its value, there won't BE any food to buy. Of course the municipal infrastructure will be destroyed along the way, so no water in the taps. Since electricity also ceases to exist, we're back to what food we do have running out. It'll be a race between starvation and thirst or nuclear meltdown - but they'll both happen. Yeah, it just keeps getting worse. Those that survive will have to live in a pathogenic environment as sewer systems collapse and virulent diseases (some man-made in bio-weapon labs) waft through the air spreading everywhere. No medical care (or dental OR MENTAL)! People could resort to cannibalism, but that won't last long, since anyone left will be infected with something or dying of radiation poisoning.
Poof, extinction inside of a year or two.

By offering kickbacks to doctors, falsifying medical records and deliberately misleading insurance companies, the case against Insys exemplifies the type of corruption which is causing the opioid epidemic.

Has global warming intensified 2017’s wildfires in the U.S. West? “When we remember that the relationship between temperature and fire is exponential, we’re really talking about a very different western United States in 50 years”
http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2017/09/has-global-warming-intensified-2017s.html
This wasn’t supposed to be a bad year for Western wildfires.
Last winter, a weak La Niña bloomed across the Pacific. It sent flume after flume of rain to North America and irrigated half the continent. Water penetrated deep into the soil of Western forests, and mammoth snowdrifts stacked up across the Sierra Nevadas. California’s drought ended in the washout.
Yet fires are now raging across the West. More than two dozen named firescurrently burn across Washington and Oregon. More than one million acres have burned in Montana, an area larger than Rhode Island, in the Treasure State’s third-worst fire season on record. And the largest brushfire in the history of Los Angeles currently threatens hundreds of homes in Burbank.
Canada may be experiencing an even worse year for wildfires: 2.86 million acres have burned in British Columbia, the largest area ever recorded in the province. [more]
