Jumping Jack Flash Hypothesis: It's A Gas Gas Gas: Event Update For 2019-08-10

Event Update For 2019-08-10

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.

Dr Ainsworth said the researchers referred to the resulting, heat-damaged skeletons as 'ghost corals, because there was just nothing left'. 'Within about 10 days, those samples that had been exposed to the heatwave... were actually floating.'"

A week after a punishing heat wave torched the eastern two-thirds of the country, setting numerous records, AccuWeather chief executive Joel Myers cast doubt on the scientific finding that heat waves in the United States and elsewhere are worsening because of climate change. This point of view, at odds with peer-reviewed research, is reminiscent of the contrarian position AccuWeather took on the climate change issue in the 1990s, which historical documents recently obtained by The Washington Post shine light on.

The Big U.S. Wet of 2018-19 went on cruise control in July, but the year so far managed to hang on as the nation’s wettest calendar year to date in records going back more than a century, NOAA reported on Wednesday. Averaged across the 48 contiguous states, the month of July saw 2.69” of precipitation, which is just below the 20th-century average of 2.78”.

The period from August 2018 to July 2019 came in just shy of the wettest 12-month period on record. Below is the new list of the top-ten wettest 12-month spans in U.S. records going back to 1895. Amazingly, the seven wettest spans among all of the 1495 overlapping year-long spans since January 1895—and eight of the ten wettest—have occurred in the last five years.
