Event Update For 2019-06-05





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.

2019-06-05 - Report finds that there is a high likelihood of human civilization coming to an end by 2050:
http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/climate-change-global-warming-end-human-civilisation-research-a8943531.html
http://www.vice.com/en_us/article/597kpd/new-report-suggests-high-likelihood-of-human-civilization-coming-to-an-end-in-2050
http://abcnews.go.com/US/climate-change-end-human-civilization-2050-tank-report/story?id=63476644
http://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/148cb0_a1406e0143ac4c469196d3003bc1e687.pdf

Quote: "On our current trajectory, the report warns, 'planetary and human systems [are] reaching a "point of no return" by mid-century, in which the prospect of a largely uninhabitable Earth leads to the breakdown of nations and the international order.'"

Note: We've already reached the point of no return. We reached that point years ago, and probably decades ago. Human extinction on this planet is now baked into the cake. I said years ago that it was inevitable that scientists would begin moving closer to what I've been saying all along, and here are some more scientists lurching closer. Since I was right all along, I have stood my ground. When you're right, you don't have to change your position; everybody else does. And slowly but surely they are. These folks do still think we can 'fix things'. I wish they were right about that, but they're not, and there's no point in pretending otherwise. But at least they see a lot of what's coming. However, as doomy as they are, they still don't see all the threats, some of which are even now bearing down on us, which means their 2050 end-of-the-line timeline is probably overly optimistic.

The mass mobilization they suggest is still worthwhile, to buy us some time. Nobody should be thinking that there's anything we can do that will restore the planet to habitability though. The cycling of the Earth back to a more primordial anoxic state, one not survivable by human beings, is unavoidable at this point; it will happen, regardless of what we do or don't do. The planetary-scale momentum pushing us in that direction is now so ridiculously overwhelmingly powerful that it dwarfs anything human civilization can possibly muster as a counterforce. Ergo, buying us some time before Doomsday comes a-knocking is now the best option left to us...

  1. I see it too, Jonny. More and more people, especially "heavy hitters" in the climate change community, are slowly coming to the realization that you and McPherson are correct - that no matter what you call this current state of affairs - we're heading toward extinction.

    This isn't surprising, since even if NOBODY ever said anything about it, we'd all be living the same way today and noticing that the usual creatures that surround us are disappearing, that the pollution we're spewing as an industrial civilization is starting to impact the weather and the environment in an increasingly negative way and at an ever faster pace. YOU have noticed that the largest part of the Earth, the oceans, are now becoming toxic to life and that this won't end well, especially since that water and the gases being emitted evaporate and become part of the atmosphere - AND that they're having these undocumented (except here) effects on all life on the planet. The news stories you select each day for your report don't indicate any realization of EFFECTS! They just give the "facts" of the situation. There's almost never any follow-up or analysis, except HERE!

    You're providing a critical service, Jonny.

    Dangerous depths: German waters teeming with WWII munitions triggers spontaneous ignitions of amber-like phosphorous, fish deformations and human health threat
    http://strangesounds.org/2019/06/germany-waters-wwii-munitions-pollution-phosphorus-amber-north-sea-baltic-sea.html

    More than 50 million bombs, shells, detonators and cartridges from World War II are rusting away on the floor of the North and Baltic Seas or are washing up on beaches.

    Although very dangerous as shown by spontaneous ignition accidents and other explosions, authorities are opting not to remove the ordnance – and hoping no one gets badly hurt. [more; a lot like humanity's climate change response]

    CERN physicists search for HEAVY Higgs Particle to seal the fate of the Universe
    http://strangesounds.org/2019/06/cern-physics-heavy-higgs-particle-universe.html

    We all know the Higgs boson — also known as the “God particle” — a subatomic particle first spotted in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) back in 2012. That particle is a piece of a field that permeates all of space-time; it interacts with many particles, like electrons and quarks, providing those particles with mass, which is pretty cool.

    But the Higgs that we spotted was surprisingly lightweight. According to our best estimates, it should have been a lot heavier. This opens up an interesting question: Sure, we spotted a Higgs boson, but was that the only Higgs boson? Are there more floating around out there doing their own things? [more]

    Atmospheric carbon dioxide continued its rapid rise in 2019, with the average for May peaking at 414.7 parts per million (ppm) at NOAA’s Mauna Loa Atmospheric Baseline Observatory.

    The measurement is the highest seasonal peak recorded in 61 years of observations on top of Hawaii’s largest volcano and the seventh consecutive year of steep global increases in concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2), according to data published today by NOAA and Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The 2019 peak value was 3.5 ppm higher than the 411.2 ppm peak in May 2018 and marks the second-highest annual jump on record. [more]

    Explosion tears through two buildings in Sweden, 25 injured

    A "very powerful" explosion ripped through two blocks of flats in the southern Swedish city of Linkoping, injuring dozens of people.

    At least 25 people suffered minor injuries in the blast at 7am local time (5am GMT), police said.

    Detectives have launched a criminal investigation and a bomb squad was deployed as a precaution following the explosion, which blew out dozens of windows and destroyed balconies.

    The cause of the blast is not yet known but police spokesman Bjorn Oberg said: "As for now, we don't have any information to believe this is terror-related." [more]
