Event Update For 2018-02-18





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.

Hair-raising footage shows smoke still coming from the plane's engine charred black around the engines with the farmer's fields visible below at an altitude of around 5,000ft."

  1. The most informative blog on the net, as far as i'm concerned. Here we have comprehensive environmental information regarding the land, sea and air all tied together with Jonny's Hypothesis. It all fits, it's totally rational (no magic or voodoo needed, 'cause it's spooky enough on its own)! People dropping dead, heat from below, volcanos and earthquakes, infrastructure damage, accidents and building collapses, medical emergencies and planes having problems staying aloft (and MORE).

    Puzzling change in Southern Ocean revealed by CSIRO
    https://www.sott.net/article/377857-Puzzling-change-in-Southern-Ocean-revealed-by-CSIRO

    Researchers aboard an Australian ship undertaking pioneering work in the Southern Ocean have found the "first hint" of a shift in a decades-long trend towards fresher, less dense water off Antarctica.

    "Every time we've measured since the 1970s, [bottom water's] been becoming lighter and fresher," Steve Rintoul, the voyage chief scientist, told Fairfax Media on Monday as the ship took its final ocean profile.

    "We've got the first hint now that maybe things are shifting back to becoming saltier and denser in the deepest part of the ocean," said Dr Rintoul, who is a senior researcher at CSIRO and the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems (ACE) CRC.

    Dr Rintoul said "this increase in salinity still brings levels to nowhere near where they were in the 1970s ... nor even into the 1990s". The trend of warming of those waters has not changed. [more]

    Christchurch and two other districts on New Zealand's South Island have declared a state of emergency as former cyclone Gita hit the country.

    Dozens of schools have been shut and roads closed on the South Island as the storm made landfall on Tuesday.

    New Zealand's national airline has cancelled all flights in and out of the capital, Wellington, on North Island.

    Residents were told to expect floods and winds of up to 150km/h (90mph). [more]

    Today's meltdown has only just begun

    There Is No Time Left
    http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2018/02/todays-meltdown-has-only-just-begun.html

    Imagine a scenario with no temperature difference between the equator and the North Pole. That was 12 million years ago when there was no ice at either pole. In that context, according to professor James G. Anderson of Harvard University, carbon in the atmosphere today is the same as 12 million years ago. The evidence is found in the paleoclimate record. It’s irrefutable.

    Meaning, today’s big meltdown has only just started.

The system has split in two – caught up by the Southern Alps – and the main low is now hovering near Banks Peninsula and another is to the west. The mountains held up the lower parts of the system as it moved across the country, while the upper parts moved past.

It's the dumbest fucking idea ever conceived, but then again look who we're dealing with.
