Event Update For 2018-12-05





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.

    Hey Jonny! Looks like that snow storm will stay west of you. It'll still be cold, but you won't be digging out of a big snowstorm.

    I wish I had kept track of all the college students who die each year at school. That's an interesting stat. Of course I could still go back and do that, but I don't have the time. There's probably a way to do it with a computer, if you know how to write code or sort data with key words (i'm woefully inadequate at that kind of approach).

    2 classes left - both to administer final exams. So i'll be back later with a more detailed comment.

    More data from CAMS shows extremely high methane emissions in the Arctic


    I don't apologise for bringing more on methane. It's fast moving.

    China Outraged At Arrest Of Huawei CFO, Warns It Will “Take All Measures”

    Huawei CFO’s arrest will be regarded back home as an attack on China’s foremost corporate champions.
    http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2018/12/china-outraged-at-arrest-of-huawei-cfo.html

    So much for a trade war truce between China and the US, or a stock market Christmas rally for that matter.

    Meng’s arrest will immediately heighten tensions between Washington and Beijing just days after the world’s two largest economies agreed on a truce in their growing trade conflict. It will, or at least should, also prompt any US execs currently in China to think long and hard if that’s where they want to be, say, tomorrow when Xi decides to retaliate in kind. [more]

    http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2018/12/is-data-from-copernicus-cams-accurate.html


    This were comments made by Joe Neubarth on Facebook in response to the revelation of high levels of methane:

    "OK, now, I am not so worried. CAMS threw a scare into us over the past few days, but they have corrected their scale to give us readings that are actually lower then Met Op 1 and 2.

    "Now, if I go to CAMS lower readings I feel prone not to promise a collapse of civilization before 2032. Otherwise, I will go with 2031. In both cases, I do not expect to be alive to see it; but, it will be a most interesting time in Earth's remaining history

    "Here is CAMS with their updated methane chart. [more]

  2. Yeah, anywhere that the gubment is the primary source of info (satellite stuff, USGS, etc), and the information would be panic-inducing, then I fully expect that they are manipulating the data - downplaying methane releases in the north, downgrading earthquakes, all that kinda stuff. I take all information that comes solely or primarily from gubment sources with a grain of salt nowadays.

  3. I am experiencing ether smells indoors now and previously (off and on past several years) outdoors. Do you have any idea what could cause the smell of ether 'at large'? And, do you think it is cause for concern? Thanks. I can't find anything online that speaks to this strangeness.

    1. No idea on ether. I do note that it's got a sweet smell. Hydrogen sulfide in higher concentrations can have a sweet smell too. But I've smelled ether and I've smelled hydrogen sulfide at higher concentrations too, and I wouldn't equate them. Soooo...back to, I dunno!

  5. DeepMind's AlphaZero now showing human-like intuition in historical 'turning point' for AI
    https://news.yahoo.com/deepmind-apos-alphazero-now-showing-190000147.html

    DeepMind’s artificial intelligence programme AlphaZero is now showing signs of human-like intuition and creativity, in what developers have hailed as ‘turning point’ in history.
    The computer system amazed the world last year when it mastered the game of chess from scratch within just four hours, despite not being programmed how to win.
    But now, after a year of testing and analysis by chess grandmasters, the machine has developed a new style of play unlike anything ever seen before, suggesting the programme is now improvising like a human. [uh-oh . .]

    Unlike the world’s best chess machine - Stockfish - which calculates millions of possible outcomes as it plays, AlphaZero learns from its past successes and failures, making its moves based on, a ‘nebulous sense that it is all going to work out in the long run,’ according to experts at DeepMind.
    When AlphaZero was pitted against Stockfish in 1,000 games, it lost just six, winning convincingly 155 times, and drawing the remaining bouts. [more; parallels plot in Terminator movies]

    Eiffel Tower, Louvre to close amid fears of weekend protests
    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/eiffel-tower-louvre-to-close-amid-fears-of-weekend-protests/ar-BBQCM1t

    France is bracing for yet another weekend of protests that could rock Paris and other parts of the country.

    Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said the government was deploying 89,000 security force members across France -- including 8,000 in the capital -- in case the demonstrations turn violent again.
    Many of the capital's famed sites -- including the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, the Musée Delacroix and the Paris Opera -- will close over the weekend in advance of the protests, organized by the "gilets jaunes," or "yellow vest" movement. Their name comes from the high-visibility yellow vests that drivers are required to keep in their vehicles for safety reasons. [more; gay Paris!?]
