Event Update For 2018-10-10
http://jumpingjackflashhypothesis.blogspot.com/2012/02/jumping-jack-flash-hypothesis-its-gas.html
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.

2018-10-10 - Unknown noxious odor blows through large swath of coastal London (Britain):

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6262947/Mystery-chlorine-smell-drifts-London-amid-warnings-record-breaking-air-pollution.html
Quote: "People of London reported about a mysterious odor, described as 'acrid, noxious,' most likely a 'chemical smell' across parts of city Wednesday night. The smell appeared to be affecting areas stretching from Victoria to Wapping in east London as well as areas in the south-east such as Bermondsey, Rotherhithe and Camberwell. Panic struck among Londoners as some described the smell as 'Dettol meets battery acid.' Lana Preston, 51, of Bermondsey, told the BBC she was worried it might be 'something hazardous or poisonous. It's like a very strong smell - like a sweet rubber smell. I've never smelt anything like it,' she said, adding the smell could be linked to a foggy haze over London."

Good morning Jonny, Mike, Fran, Tom N. and LL (and all other readers here).
ReplyDeleteThe death and destruction continue. The mainstream has begun to mention that we're in some serious shit, but don't go as far as McPherson (yet). It's becoming obvious and I think my prediction from a while back (on the old NBL - when they used to have a comment section and a lively crowd of fans; before the hit-people took over and ruined it) will hold, that by next August pretty much everyone will know we're on our way out. President Trump has admitted that climate change is not only real, but happening and that there's essentially nothing we can do so - FULL SPEED AHEAD!
[let's see what today brings]
Death toll from Hurricane Michael rises to 12 amid search for survivors
http://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/death-toll-from-hurricane-michael-rises-to-12-amid-search-for-survivors/ar-BBOgXnr
- Using heavy equipment to push aside debris and with helicopters circling overhead, rescuers in the Florida Panhandle searched for trapped residents as officials warned on Friday the death toll from Hurricane Michael was likely to rise.
At least 12 people were killed in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia, officials said, after one of the most powerful hurricanes in U.S. history slammed into Florida's northwest coast.
"I expect the fatality count to climb today and tomorrow," Brock Long, head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), told CNN. "Hopefully it doesn't rise dramatically but it does remain a possibility." [more; incl. short video and 77 panel slide show]

"Conspiracy theory"
ReplyDeleteAre insurance companies liquidating stocks to get cash to pay off claims from Hurricane Michael?
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2018/10/conspiracy-theory.html
“Much of the selling yesterday and again today has been INSURANCE COMPANIES liquidating stocks to get cash to pay off claims from Hurricane Michael! The companies already know the claims for destroyed property will reach into the "tens of billions" and that is why they are freeing-up cash.”

They were too busy blowing smoke up each others' asses, in the name of "rational self-implosion"...
U.S. gamblers have been living in a bubble of greed that was sponsored by a trillion dollars in stock buybacks. That bubble is now bursting, so all of the assiduously ignored issues of the past year, are "re-appearing" out of nowhere. Now that the momentum Ponzi scheme is reversing, Wall Street's algo-inflated fantasy narratives are turning back into a big bag of dog shit - in the hands of the usual bagholders. After all, the stock buybacks were exit stage left for insiders. How else could they get out at the top like last time? [more]
October Horror On Wall Street: Investors Nervously Watch To See If The S&P 500 Will Bounce Back Above Its 200-Day Moving Average
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/october-horror-on-wall-street-investors-nervously-watch-to-see-if-the-sp-500-will-bounce-back-above-its-200-day-moving-average
Between Wednesday and Thursday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged a total of 1,378 points. And the S&P 500 has now broken below the all-important 200-day moving average. If the S&P 500 bounces back above the 200-day moving average on Friday, that will be a sign that things have stabilized at least for the moment. If that doesn’t happen, all hell might break loose next week. [more]

Climate warming to boost major hurricanes in active Atlantic seasons
http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/10/climate-warming-to-boost-major.html
New NOAA research that looks at the devastating 2017 Atlantic hurricane season projects that if similar weather conditions occur in the future, it’s likely that the number of major hurricanes (category 3 and higher) would increase by two in a similar active year at the end of century.

Here’s why hurricanes are rapidly exploding in strength
http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/10/heres-why-hurricanes-are-rapidly.html
The unforgettable thing about record-setting Hurricane Michael will always be how rapidly it became a near-Category 5 storm, perfectly timed for a sneak attack on the Florida Panhandle.
Pressure would ultimately fall to 919 millibars, one of the lowest measures of any hurricane at landfall in the United States — and the winds responded by increasing to 155 mph right as the storm struck the coast. This was a borderline Category 5 storm, and it’s clear that the only reason Michael didn’t quite cross that threshold was because it was crossing beaches by that time instead.
Simply put, with warmer seas, storms ought to be able to pull this off more often. [more]

What’s Another Way to Say ‘We’re F-cked’?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2018/10/12/whats-another-way-to-say-were-f-cked/
Hurricane Michael, the third most intense storm on record to make landfall in the U.S., has caused widespread destruction, turning places like Mexico Beach, Florida, into a hellscape of broken homes and overturned cars. It will be a while before we learn the full extent of the damage — and the human suffering and death — caused by the storm’s 155 mph winds and the 14-foot storm surge that swamped the coastline.
Bad as the hurricane was, imagine the damage and destruction if that storm surge had been 15 feet or so higher. And if instead of receding, that wall of water never went away. That is what we could be facing in the not-so-distant future [period!] if we don’t dramatically cut fossil-fuel pollution. [more; good read]

Sea ice in the central Arctic should be growing. It’s not.
http://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2018/10/11/sea-ice-in-the-central-arctic-should-be-growing-its-not/
In the deep middle of the remote Arctic Ocean, things are amiss.
With the passage of summer, the ice — diminished by the warm season — is expected to regrow as frigid temperatures envelope the Arctic.
But, this year, it’s not.
Specifically, sea ice in the Central Arctic basin — a massive region of ocean some 4.5 million square kilometers in size — hasn’t started its usual rapid expansion, and unusually warm temperatures in both the air and the ocean are largely to blame.
In mid-October, the temperatures here should be plummeting. But they’ve gone up. [more]
Mom suffers horrific injuries while shielding her baby during freak hailstorm
https://www.yahoo.com/news/mom-suffers-horrific-injuries-while-173626888.html
Simpson said she heard a loud bang and then felt water start pouring into her vehicle. After realizing the rear window where her daughter was sitting had been shattered, the quick-acting mom jumped into the backseat and used herself as a human shield to protect the infant.
Eventually, the tennis-ball sized hail smashed another of the vehicle's windows, and though Simpson says she attempted to shield both her grandmother and her infant, both women ended up sustaining severe injuries from the massive ice chunks. [more]
