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.themalaysianinsight.com/s/16765/
Quote: "Vanuatu has launched a Dunkirk-style evacuation on the northern island of Ambae as a flotilla of boats rescues islanders from an erupting volcano. The eruption has polluted many of the island's water sources leaving thousands of people in need of safe drinking water, Red Cross delegate Joe Cropp told Reuters by phone on Sunday. 'Water is crucial,' he said. 'It's important to get on top of it right away.' The Manaro Voui volcano, the nation's largest, was seen hurling steam and rocks into the air by New Zealand vulcanologist Brad Scott who flew over the volcano on Saturday. 'Maybe about every 8 to 10 seconds there was an explosion, throwing lava bombs up maybe 50 to 100 meters above the crater and there's also two small lava flows that are flowing across the island into the lake as well,' he said in an interview with Radio NZ published on Sunday. Crowds of islanders from at least three evacuation points on the island have begun boarding a flotilla of ships including ferries, canoes and commercial vessels for the safety of surrounding islands Maewo, Pentecost and Santo. The Vanuatu Government wants all 11,000 islanders evacuated by Oct. 6."

We tally the devastation each day here. It doesn't take into account the propensity for certain people to "lose it" and go into killer mode, like the machine gun attack last night on a music festival in NV, with 20 dead and at least 100 injured (so far).
ReplyDeleteThere's more than enough death to go around, just from "natural" causes.
I think that's the FIRST HOUSE CAT ATTACK I've seen here.
Once, a few years back, we had the luxury of contemplating the facts of climate change BEFORE they became a huge problem - like the accumulating flammable gases in the atmosphere now having reached the level that plane engines EXPLODE up there in the atmosphere. As today's report indicates - plane travel is going to become increasingly difficult as time goes on. Small planes, helicopters, passenger planes, private jets and even large military planes are all having problems due to fire, smoke and explosions while in the air, taking off or landing.
With all the over-the-top pyrotechnics at concerts these days, it's a wonder people didn't think that the stage burning at that festival in OH wasn't part of the act!
Well, since we're not dead yet, Jonny, let's see what else is going on.

Last week, Nature Geoscience published a study suggesting that we have a bigger remaining carbon budget than previously thought to keep global warming below the 1.5°C aggressive Paris climate target. Many scientists quickly commented that the paper’s conclusion was based on some questionable assumptions, and this single study shouldn’t be blindly accepted as gospel truth.
Conservative media outlets did even worse than that. They took one part of the paper’s analysis out of context and grossly distorted its conclusions to advance their anti-climate agenda.

The Globalists Are Systematically Destroying America’s Middle Class
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-globalists-are-systematically-destroying-americas-middle-class
Back in 1992, the bottom 90 percent of American income earners brought in more than 60 percent of the country’s income. But last year that figure slipped to just 49.7 percent. The wealth of our society is increasingly being concentrated at the very top, and the middle class is steadily being eroded. Surveys have found that somewhere around two-thirds of the country is living paycheck to paycheck at least part of the time, and so living on the edge has become a way of life for most Americans.

The Arctic is Changing the Jet Stream - Why This Is Important
http://arctic-news.blogspot.com/2017/10/the-arctic-is-changing-the-jet-stream-why-this-is-important.html
By Sam Carana, with contributions by Jennifer Francis
Jennifer Francis has long been warning that global warming is increasing the likelihood of wavier jet stream patterns and more frequent blocking events, both of which have been observed. The Arctic is warming more rapidly than the rest of the world. The narrowing temperature difference between the Arctic and lower latitudes is weakening the speed at which the jet stream circumnavigates Earth and may be making the jet stream more wavy. In a 2012 study, Jennifer Francis and Stephen Vavrus warned that this makes atmospheric blocking events in the Northern Hemisphere more likely, aggravating extreme weather events related to stagnant weather conditions, such as drought, flooding, cold spells, and heat waves.

Debt-Slave Industry Frets over Impact of Mass Credit Freezes
Up to 50+ killed and 200+ injured in that mass shooting now. 50+! Wow, that guy was mowin' people down. Perfect target if your goal is maximum casualties - concert venues usually have few avenues in and out, and those are constricted, and then once IN the venue, people are packed in like sardines. All of that is probably better for keeping people safe from other people IN the venue with them - line searches and stuff - but all of that also makes ALL of the people in the venue more vulnerable to an attack by someone OUTSIDE the venue. So, some pluses and some minuses. When the minuses kick in through, that can obviously be real bad news.
ReplyDeleteWe'll be seeing more and more of this too. People's brains are getting damaged by hydrogen sulfide. Here and there, not everywhere, but unpredictable. You can be a perfectly sane responsible gun owner one day, and planning a mass shooting the next. Most of the people who get poisoned just die. But some don't - some go insane first. The ones who go REALLY insane aren't even capable of using a gun, and they don't tend to live very long either. But some percentage will go just a little crazy, enough to turn a responsible gun owner into a mass murderer overnight.
So as time goes on and this problem escalates - like all of the other problems - then there will be more mass shootings. That's not a political statement, that's a fact. In response to that fact, we have the choices of adapt or suffer. My prediction is that we will not adapt to this problem and we will therefore suffer instead, with more people dying in mass shootings.
In case anyone wonders whether *I* have a gun, I've answered that previously - I don't. I considered it, but I was an expert marksman in the Army, and I could easily be insane tomorrow, like anyone else, and I don't want to turn into a mass murderer. I have a bow, but obviously I'm not going to commit much of a mass murder with that. It's for some minimal degree of self defense, and if I do go nuts and start shooting arrows, I've only got 12, and it'd be hard to sneak around with it.
Now, did THIS shooter's brain get lightly damaged by hydrogen sulfide at some point? We'll never know. It's actually irrelevant anyway - what is relevant is that we're going to be seeing a lot more of this. And people will see that for themselves, if they haven't noticed it already.
Spot on, Jonny. Everything that sustains life is getting worse, and with everything being connected to everything else, this will compound until a critical mass is reached, at which time COLLAPSE happens. Then we'll all be in the same boat as the islands devastated by hurricane - everyone will be in survivor mode and major killing, theft, rape and mayhem will be unleashed.
ReplyDeleteI've seen many articles calling on people to emulate the super rich and at least stock up for a natural disaster. While that's good advise in the short term, I wouldn't want to be in a bunker with limited food supplies and seeds for "afterward." The planet will make sure no food grows due to aberrant weather, damaged soils (especially microbes that do the work), diseases and all the rest - and the bunker people will be left to starve on a barren Earth. Even resorting to cannibalism will bring only temporary reprieve (and it will prolong their suffering).
It's been a big month in Hull - with 19 out of 30 days (63%) having JJFH incidents (6 with multiple events on the same day)! Except for March of this year, that had 20 out of 31 days (64.5%; and one unbelievable stretch of 7 days in a row!), September was the second biggest month for JJFH incidents this year (so far). The BIG thing is that there was a string of 5 days in a row, and TWO strings of 6 days in a row of JJFH happenings!
Though there have only been 4 garbage truck fires this month, THREE have occurred on the same day as Hull troubles!

Puerto Ricans spend much of their time now waiting in line. On Sunday, one ATM line had several dozen people waiting two hours to withdraw a maximum of $40.
The cash crunch is exacerbated because many businesses' credit card machines are still down, so they can only take hard currency.

Plastic film covering 12 percent of China farmland pollutes soil

The downside is that polypropylene film isn’t biodegradable and often not recycled. Potentially cancer-causing toxins can be released into the soil from the plastic residue, known locally as “white pollution,” which is present at levels of 60-to-300 kilograms (132-to-661 pounds) per hectare in some provinces.

Yeah, Tom Petty dying, very suspicious. Cardiac arrest and brain death, on the coast in Malibu, about 51 miles from Huntington Beach, where the mysterious 'foul odor' has been blowing in off the ocean. Here's another story about Tom Petty's death:

Quote: "The music legend -- who is originally from Florida -- recently performed with the Heartbreakers on Sept. 29 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. 'Tom Petty seemed upbeat, energetic and his performance was great,' a concertgoer tells ET. 'He bantered with the audience and, at times, seemed sentimental while reminiscing about his 40 years with the band.' The concertgoer adds that Petty showed no signs of fatigue during the concert and appeared healthy and happy."
I liked Tom Petty too. He was a great showman - his live performances were better than any of his albums. He was one of the last bands I saw live. I went with a friend, who dropped dead in his early 40s in his shower within a year of us seeing Tom Petty.
RIP, Tom Petty, and thanks for the music!
Also, correction - he's not quite dead yet. They've pulled his life support, since his brain is dead, and he's not expected to survive the day, but for the moment, he's got a pulse.

Quote: "Sources tell us at 10:30 Monday morning a chaplain was called to Tom's hospital room. We're told the family has a do not resuscitate order on Tom. The singer is not expected to live throughout the day, but he's still clinging to life. A report that the LAPD confirmed the singer's death is inaccurate -- the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. handled the emergency."
Heh, reminds me of the ol' Monty Python skit Bring Out Your Dead, where an old sickly man pipes up that he's not dead yet. You know how that ends.
