Event Update For 2019-12-17





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.

2019-12-17 - Unknown foul odor hits GM plant in Fort Wayne (Indiana):
http://fortwaynesnbc.com/2019/12/17/foul-odor-leads-to-partial-evacuation-at-fort-wayne-gm-plant/

Quote: "Company spokesperson, Stephanie Jengten, tells Fort Wayne's NBC News that several employees smelled a foul odor in what she called 'sporadic areas' of the plant, and those areas were evacuated."

2019-12-17 - The world's coral reefs are dying off as the oceans continue heating up:
http://phys.org/news/2019-12-world-coral-reefs-dying-scientists.html

Quote: "The oceans are already warming rapidly—absorbing more than 90% of the extra heat the planet now produces—and even if humans radically change their behavior tomorrow, they will continue to warm. The result is an existential crisis for coral. Many scientists fear the shallow-water varieties that form reefs may not survive the century. Coral reefs build up over centuries but can die in just two successive summers of abnormal heat."

2019-12-17 - Too hot for humans? First Nations people fear becoming Australia's first climate refugees:
http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/dec/18/too-hot-for-humans-first-nations-people-fear-becoming-australias-first-climate-refugees

Quote: "Last summer was the hottest on record, and the driest in 27 years in central Australia. Five per cent of the town’s street trees died. A heat monitoring study showed that on some unshaded streets the surface temperature was between 61C [141.8F] and 68C [154.4F]."

Quote: "Temperature records have already been broken. In the year to July 2019, Alice Springs had 129 days over 35C [95F], and 55 days over 40C [104F]."

2019-12-17 - Highest average temperature ever recorded bakes Australia, and temps expected to go higher:

http://www.thebigwobble.org/2019/12/in-summer-that-hasnt-officially-started.html
http://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/18/world/australia/record-heat.html

Quote: "The average maximum temperature across the country on Tuesday was 40.9 degrees Celsius (105.6 Fahrenheit), according to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology -- beating the previous 2013 record of 40.3 Celsius (104.5 Fahrenheit)."

Note: They call it summer there. Apparently they start their seasons on the 1st of the month in Australia instead of on the 21st. If they were in the northern hemisphere it would still be spring. And the horrendous fires began ramping up in September, which would be the same as March in the northern hemisphere, so either late winter or very early spring...

  1. Hey Jonny, everyone - clearly, the ocean is dying, but so is everything else at this point. Pigs may become extinct in the near future due to Swine Flu (otherwise known as Pig Ebola). Birds and other flying species are declining rapidly, while the ripple effect through the food chain continues. Grains are becoming hard to grow, trees are on the way out and we're on that list somewhere.

    Still want a flu shot? Since 1980s this US government agency has paid over $4 Billion for vaccine-related injuries and death

    Many Americans are not aware that there is a National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program for those who have been injured by flu shots and other vaccinations. This is why Donald Trump and many others are opposed to mandatory vaccinations, especially for "The Flu" which isn't usually fatal.

    A Dec. 1, 2018 update by the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) on the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) reported that the total amount of awards to children and adults who have been injured or died after receiving federally recommended childhood vaccines has surpassed $4 billion.

    Flu-like symptoms are also common with Microwave Sickness, a federally recognized illness (see 1, 2) and Electromagnetic Sensitivity, a federal recognized disability (see 1, 2). These conditions are caused or worsened by exposure to Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) including cell phone and WiFi radiation. [more]

    Researchers presented underwater volcanism as a new interpretation of why the sky mysteriously went dark for over a year beginning 536 A.D., with some parts of Europe and Asia seeing the Sun for only about four hours a day and accounts saying the Sun gave no more light than the Moon for 18 months. The dimming led to catastrophic global cooling, famine, and civil upheavals in Medieval times. [more]

    One person was killed and several more injured in a major pile-up involving trucks and other vehicles on a stretch of Pennsylvania interstate highway on December 18.

    Some 37 patients were sent to one local hospital following the crash, which happened at about 1.30pm on Interstate 80 in Union County, according to reports.

    The highway was temporarily closed in both directions following the crash. Drivers told local media that snow squalls in the area had led to poor visibility around the time of the incident.

    A pair of tropical systems emerging in the Philippine Sea will bring the risk for flooding to parts of the Philippines into next week.

    A large area of showers and thunderstorms east of Palau will drift toward the west into this weekend and could become a tropical depression or tropical storm.

    If this threat becomes a tropical storm it will be given the name Phanfone by the Japan Meteorological Agency. In the Philippines, the storm would be known as Ursula.

    Impacts to the Philippines are not expected until this weekend even if the system develops on Friday. [more]

    California utility regulators have reached a settlement with PG&E Corp. over violations tied to catastrophic wildfires ignited by the company’s power lines in 2017 and 2018.

    The proposed settlement would bar PG&E from recovering $1.625 billion in wildfire-related costs from ratepayers and would have the company spending $50 million for system enhancements and community engagement, according to the California Public Utilities Commission.

    The deal, which still needs to be approved by the commission, eliminates some overhang for PG&E. [more]

    Two People Believed Dead After Explosion Sparks Massive South Philly Row Home Fire
    https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/row-homes-collapse-burn-in-south-philadelphia/2263205/

    At least two people are believed to be dead Thursday afternoon following an explosion and subsequent row home fire in South Philadelphia that engulfed two houses and appeared to damage others.

    "We have pretty good confidence that there are two people who are missing and presumably deceased," Philadelphia Fire Commissioner and Emergency Management director Adam Thiel said Thursday evening.

    But rescuers are still putting out "pockets of fire" in the homes, which are at risk of collapse. Thiel wouldn't rule out that there might be other people in the rubble, which stretches into the street.

    Thiel said the fire was "gas-fed."

    Fire officials told NBC10 that they had received numerous calls reporting an explosion prior to the blaze, but an exact cause of the fire remains unknown. [more]
