Event Update For 2020-01-01
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.

Here we go again, Jonny - start of a new year here @ JJFH. Looking back through last year's spotlight stories, we can see there are the usual paths of destruction we can expect, with unexpected deadly surprises popping up occasionally throughout the year. More people have become aware of global warming/climate change as an existential threat during the 2010's, but now with Greta and many mainstream sites tracking various aspects of the on-going extinction event, most people now know that we're in dire straits environmentally, socially, economically and with respect to physical and mental health. Natural disasters are also increasing and becoming more intense. This year should prove interesting.
ReplyDeleteTo get a glimpse of the direction civilization is going and the human response, one need only look at Australia.

Austrlian fires - Cashless economy collapses as ATMs fail, supermarket looted – “We have no capacity to contain these fires”
https://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2020/01/austrlian-fires-cashless-economy.html [includes many stories]
Tens of thousands stranded while
attempting to flee Australia fires –
Cashless economy collapses as ATMs fail, supermarket looted – “We have no capacity to contain these fires”
Thousands flee Australia’s coastal towns as raging wildfires close in
As a dry continent, Australia has a history of wildfires. But the current crisis and the earlier-than-usual start to the summer fire season have triggered angst over what many perceive to be a tepid response by the Australian government to the threat of climate change. In particular, the government has faced criticism for appearing reluctant to move away from coal, one of the country’s top export earners.
December was among the top two hottest months on record in Australia, while 2019 was the hottest and driest year to date. Climate scientists have tied the severity of the wildfire season overall, along with the extraordinary heat waves this fall and winter, to climate change.[more]
Cash-less evacuees ‘stealing’ from shops with ATMs down
A number of towns on the South Coast have been cut off for days and are running out of supplies.
“They were stealing from the supermarket because they had to feed the family and they had no money,” shopkeeper Sue Mazzuoli told A Current Affair.
“You can’t access petrol, gas ran out, chaos at the supermarket,” she said.
“All the ATMs are down, and the young people these days travel with no money, so they were even more panicked.” [more]

Aussie Bushfire Update No 18: Fires too big for computer models: Fires the size of Portugal: Horror weekend approaches: Temperatures once again in the mid-40Cs on Saturday
http://www.thebigwobble.org/2020/01/aussie-bushfire-update-no-18-fires-too.html
A "dangerous day" predicted on Saturday. Soaring temperatures and strong winds on Saturday mean conditions could be worse than those that fanned deadly blazes on New Year's Eve, NSW and Victoria authorities are warning
Firefighters warn they may have to abandon homes, and even whole towns, as bushfire crisis threatens to overwhelm resources
Australia's bushfire crisis is so big that it's useless trying to predict how blazes will behave, the incident controller says!
as fires build, they create their own weather, so data from the weather bureau becomes less relevant. [more]

Several drivers in Washington state had to be rescued by snowplows after getting trapped in their vehicles on a highway New Year's Eve, according to officials.

https://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2020/01/looking-at-evidence-of-agenda-21and.html
"First of all, developed countries have basically expropriated the atmosphere of the world community. But one must say clearly that we redistribute de facto the world's wealth by climate policy. Obviously, the owners of coal and oil will not be enthusiastic about this. One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore.".
