Event Update For 2018-05-02





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.

The inferno is 12 percent contained, and rapid growth near residential areas forced officials to evacuate about 1,000 homes in several Coconino County neighborhoods. A state of emergency was approved Monday by Gov. Doug Ducey. [more]

    Coincidentally, Zerohedge picked up on a theme I'd been mulling over all week, which is that Goldman Sachs is as clueless as everyone else this time around. Apparently they've been drinking their own Kool-Aid.

    Make Being An Idiot Great Again
    http://ponziworld.blogspot.com/2018/05/fuck-kyoto-peak-oil-just-drove-stake.html

    What we should all want out of life is to get away with being uneducated serial fucking morons...

    I want to go back to what I wrote back in August 2014, the last time oil collapsed, to update my thinking on the subject of peak oil. Back then, the supply side aspect of my hypothesis: over-investment leading to price collapse played out in spades, as oil fell -76% in just over a year. But since it wasn't yet the end of the cycle, the demand side of my hypothesis had yet to play out. Now as we see below, they're both coming to a head at the same time...

    Oil price (black) with consumer delinquencies (red): [see chart]

    The central tenet of the peak oil hypothesis isn't that the world would one day run out of oil, but that oil would become ever-more scarce requiring ever-more capital investment to extract it. This constraint would lead to very wide price swings from rock bottom below-investment-level prices during recession, to "tight markets" and skyrocketing prices at the end of the cycle i.e. what we are seeing now - prices that will ensure recession.

    It started off as a well-kept secret, but the explosions and helicopters ended up giving it away.

    Members of the U.S. Department of Defense were conducting training recently in a New Jersey neighborhood, and the result was plenty of residents with frayed nerves, CBS2's Dick Brennan reported Wednesday. [more; practicing for Marshall Law]

    In their paper, Hawking and Hertog use a mix of string theory, holographic principle, and math problems that resemble hieroglyphics to arrive at a multiverse theory that's less unwieldy than the current standard.

    "We are not down to a single, unique universe, but our findings imply a significant reduction of the multiverse, to a much smaller range of possible universes," said Hawking, according to a Cambridge University press release. [more]

    Chaudhabish is another area that was hard hit by the hailstorm. Thousands of apple trees have been destroyed. Farmers said Chaudhabish will not see any apples on the trees this year. The hailstorm has not only affected apples. Farmers said that their maize, potato and wheat crops had also been destroyed. "As crops and fruits have been damaged on a large scale, Jumla is likely to face a food shortage this year," Bohara said. [more]

    Flooding hot spots: Why seas are rising faster on the U.S. East Coast – “These coastal areas are more vulnerable than they realize to short-term rapid acceleration of sea level rise”
    http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/05/flooding-hot-spots-why-seas-are-rising.html

    . . . while sea level is rising globally at about a tenth of an inch per year, cities along the Eastern Seaboard of the United States — including Norfolk; Baltimore; Charleston, South Carolina; and Miami, among others — have suffered “sunny day” flooding from seas rising far faster than the global average. One study published last year shows that from 2011 to 2015, sea level rose up to 5 inches — an inch per year — in some locales from North Carolina to Florida.

    scientists are now working to unravel the mystery of why some parts of the globe are experiencing so-called “sunny day” flooding that had not been expected for decades under conventional sea level rise projections. [more; they don't read Dredd's blog]
