Event Update For 2017-10-30





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.

Quote: "Concentrations of CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere surged to a record high in 2016, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). Last year's increase was 50% higher than the average of the past 10 years."

Quote: "Scientists warns concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere surged at 'a record-breaking speed' last year, as fears over feedback loops grow..."

Note: So the fact that HUMAN emissions have flatlined didn't slow things down. On the contrary, emissions are rising faster than ever. So humans are irrelevant. The Earth is running amok now. We may have gotten the train rolling down the track but the train is speeding out of control with nobody at the helm at this point and there are no brakes. Next stop, Extinctionville!

  1. Life on Earth is getting worse by the day, no matter in what realm one wishes to explore. Socially, economically, physically, mentally, in personal relationships, work atmosphere, air, water and soil quality, nutrition content of foods (that are still available - many are disappearing), practically all resources, infrastructure, natural disasters, militarily, governmentally and even with respect to the Sun! It's really tough being a young child now, anywhere.

    To prevent scientists from pointing to FACTS, the government (here) has shut down the satellites used to monitor ice sheet loss, CH4, sea level rise, and radiation (among others, i'm sure).

    It really doesn't matter - we're on our way out whether we know what's coming or not, as Jonny points out.

    Tyson Foods Linked to Largest Toxic Dead Zone in U.S. History
    https://www.ecowatch.com/tyson-foods-toxic-dead-zone-2504305201.html

    What comes to mind when you think of Tyson Foods? A chicken nugget? A big red logo?

    How about the largest toxic dead zone in U.S. history? It turns out the meat industry—and corporate giants like Tyson Foods—are directly linked to this environmental catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico, and many others.

    Industrial-scale agriculture to support America's livestock is the number one source of water pollution in the country. But while industrial agriculture to feed animals raised for meat is currently resource-intensive and ecologically destructive, it doesn't have to be. Solutions exist which, if adopted, would allow the meat industry and agricultural corporations that sustain it to reduce their impact on water and the planet. [more]

    In the reality TV show we're now suffering through, Donald Trump is the bomb.

    The robbers are the American oligarchs who bankroll the Republican Party, and who are plotting the biggest heist in American history-a massive tax cut estimated to be up to 5.8 trillion dollars.

    Around 80 percent of it will benefit the richest 1 percent, according to the Tax Policy Center. [more]

    The satelites go dark

    Update: Satellites measuring Earth’s melting ice sheets go dark
    http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2017/11/the-satelites-go-dark.html

    Update, 27 October, 11:25 a.m.: NASA announced today that it has ended GRACE's science operations earlier than expected, after determining that its remaining battery capacity would not be sufficient for one last run that was previously planned to last from October into early November. Its early demise leaves what could be close to a half-year gap in its records before its successor mission, GRACE Follow-On, launches early next year. [more]

    More on totalitarian censorship

    Totalitarian censorship has arrived in the digital age
    http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2017/11/more-on-totalitarian-censorship.html

    Martin Luther King, Jr. famously, or infamously, depending on whether you are a penthouse mandarin or garden-variety prole, linked the triple evils of poverty, racism, and militarism. These evils are as yet unaddressed in our society, as we are daily shown on the media mouthpieces of imperial capitalism. Wars must be waged. Victims of social injustice must be incarcerated. Society itself must be made poor to ensure higher profits. 

    In fact, the connection between propaganda, surveillance, and censorship is clear and inseparable. [more]

  3. What a day - I replaced the battery in my car in August or September (I can't remember, but I JUST GOT IT). Today I had to take my car back to where I purchased the battery so they could do a system check on my car - because it struggled to start. Now i'm no mechanic and I fully expected the meter to say my alternator or my starter was bad. Nope - had to replace the battery again (on them, including installation) - defective. The mechanic said, although the alternator shows that it's fine, the problem could be that, since alternators can fry batteries when they're going bad (so I gotta keep an eye on it).

    There’s a Shady Puerto Rico Contract You Didn’t Hear About
    https://theintercept.com/2017/10/31/puerto-rico-electric-contract-cobra/

    National outrage has led to the cancellation of a suspicious $300 million contract doled out to a tiny Montana company that was oddly tasked with rebuilding large parts of Puerto Rico’s electric grid. A separate $200 million contract has faced little scrutiny, but may ultimately be even more scandalous for what it says about the effort to rebuild the island in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.
    The deal was inked with a company called Cobra Acquisitions LLC, which didn’t even exist until this year. It’s a subsidiary of an Oklahoma-based fossil fuel company, suggesting that neither the Puerto Rican Electric Power Authority nor the federal government has much interest in seizing the opportunity presented by the storm to rebuild Puerto Rico in a sustainable way that relies on renewable energy rather than imported oil.
    Unlike the Whitefish contract, the Cobra deal with PREPA involved heavy input from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which — according to a recent conference call convened by Mammoth Energy Services — was “in the room” and there “every step of the way” as it was being meted out so as to be in line with the agency’s reimbursement requirements. (Neither FEMA nor PREPA representatives have responded to The Intercept’s multiple requests for comment.)

    If PREPA’s brushes with private industry thus far have been any indication, privatization will be anything but a solution to the utility’s problems. [more]
