Event Update For 2019-07-29





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.

http://www.rferl.org/a/30082553.html

Quote: "An area of 3.2 million hectares (7.9 million acres) was engulfed by forest fires in remote regions of Russia on Monday.  In comparison, the total surface of the nation of Belgium is 3.07 million hectares. With fires raging for days, immense clouds of smoke reached large population centers, including Russia's third biggest city, Novosibirsk. Authorities declared emergencies in several regions. 'The smoke is horrible,' pensioner Raisa Brovkina told state television after being hospitalized in Novosibirsk. 'I am choking and dizzy,' she added."

Quote: "Russia on Monday declared a state of emergency in two regions of Siberia as wildfires rage across 12,000 square miles of countryside. Terrified residents in the Krasnoyarsk and Irkutsk regions called on the state to act as flames engulfed an area the size of Belgium."

Quote: "Greenpeace expert Grigory Kuksin said the soot and ashes accelerate the melting of the Arctic ice and permafrost, which in turns releases even more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. 'It is comparable to the emissions of major cities,' he told the AFP news agency. 'The more fires affect the climate, the more conditions are created for new dangerous fires.'"

Quote: "Siberia was almost 10 degrees Celsius (18 Fahrenheit) warmer than the long-term average in June, according to World Meteorological Organization."

2019-07-29 - Wildfires escalating across Alberta (Canada):

Quote: "According to a recent federal report, Canada has warmed twice as fast as the rest of the world since 1948; in parts of northern Alberta, where wildfires are concentrated, it is closer to three times as fast."

Quote: "A mystery illness - which forced Westport North School to close after a third of the pupils became ill - remains unknown as health officials wait for results. Sixty-six pupils at Westport North School were away sick yesterday, forcing the school to shut until at least Friday. West Coast District Health Board medical officer of health Ramon Pink said the DHB could not comment on the cause of the illness until it has the results. Dr. Pink said an influenza-like illness was currently circulating throughout the West Coast and advised people who were unwell to stay at home."

  1. Seriously deteriorating conditions from here on, folks. We've got doom coming at us from the Arctic and Antarctic, methane, H2S and CH4 in our atmosphere, lethal diseases on the rise, rats overrunning cities all over the world (apparently), crop failure, earthquakes, violent storms (usually causing flash flooding and/or hail damage) and lightning, increasing world-wide crop failure, a dying ocean, weather whiplash (and anomalous conditions) and radiation spewing into the biosphere.

    Then add to that all the geopolitical tension and trade disruption, insolvent central banks printing funny money and the 24/7 mainstream news claiming everything is fine while retail stores close up all over, only the 1% having more than enough wealth to be comfortable while everyone else suffers continuously, massive governmental DEBT, and more societal collapse each year - and we may see a few problems on the horizon . ..

    Great work, Jonny - collating this information on a daily basis so that everyone can see what's going on!

    http://www.thebigwobble.org/2019/07/north-americas-strange-and-bizarre.html

    Anchorage, Alaska hit 89 degrees F, (32 deg C), in July to break the all-time highest temperature ever recorded: Campbell Creek hit 91 degrees F, (33 deg C)

    Meanwhile, as Alaska has been suffering the heatwave for weeks now with temperatures reaching 92 deg F, (33.5 deg C), massive fires in remote areas are burning out of control.

    Plumes of smoke from the fires can be seen from space.
    Alaska alone has lost 1.6 billion acres to wildfires this year.

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/white-house-undercutting-evidence-climate-193844876.html

    A former senior government analyst has accused the Trump administration of “undercutting evidence” of the threat to national security from the climate crisis after his report on the issue was blocked by the White House.

    Rod Schoonover, who worked as an intelligence analyst for the federal government for 10 years before resigning earlier this month, submitted a written testimony on the “wide-ranging implications” of global heating over the next 20 years, for submission to the House intelligence committee last month.

    But he said on Tuesday that the report was stopped by the White House because his findings “did not comport with administration’s position on climate change”. [more]
