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.

The part they don't get is that when they come out, IF they come out, it would be to a totally polluted world where nothing is alive and nothing will grow. Who's going to run the 400+ nuke plants that need round the clock control?
Meanwhile, the climate will have changed considerably and no one will know when or where to plant whatever seeds they have hoarded.
On Hal Turner's program (i know, i know) he states that potentially 4 BILLION of us could be dead in a year or two. That's actually feasible mathematically. The exponential function overwhelms, quickly.
2020 could be the first big step down. If it leads to nuclear war, it could be a HUGE step down. One can easily imagine in a no-longer-functioning world, that the whole of humanity could disappear by 2026, without the effects of climate change! Adding that to it, we could be outta here by 2023!

A car crashed into a landmark candy store in Harford County Friday morning.
It happened in the parking area of Bomboy's Candy in Havre de Grace.
Somehow a black Kia drove over a curb and collided with a deck connected to the side of the store on Girard Street.
The driver was evaluated on scene but refused to go to a hospital, according to the Susquhanna Hose Company.
In a message posted on Facebook after the crash, the store said they remain open and everyone inside was okay, despite damage to the building.

https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/china-locked-down-50-million-055618222.html
Carrying permits demanding “fast passage,” truck drivers rushed a 560-ton shipment of disinfectant from eastern China to Wuhan, the locked-down city of 11 million people at the center of a vast effort to contain a new viral disease.
Outside the metropolis in central China, the cargo was shifted to local trucks with drivers in masks and protective suits, part of a tightly controlled flow of food and other supplies through checkpoints that have blocked most access to Wuhan since Jan. 23.

Over 200 People Have Died from Coronavirus as CDC Makes First Federal Quarantine in 50 Years
ReplyDeletehttps://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/over-200-people-died-coronavirus-193403795.html
The number of deaths from the coronavirus saw the steepest increase yet over the last 24 hours, as Chinese officials announced that there have been 43 more deaths from the mysterious respiratory illness, for a total of 213. There are now almost 9,800 cases of coronavirus worldwide, 2,000 of which were confirmed over the last day in China — a 26 percent increase.
The sharp increase in coronavirus cases comes as the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a “public health emergency,” after a week of deliberations and a previous decision to hold off on any declarations.
And on Thursday night, German researchers published a new study that found that the disease can spread from people who have not yet shown symptoms — a worrying new development that led the U.S. Centers for Disease Control to place a federal quarantine on a plane of Americans who were evacuated from Wuhan, the disease’s epicenter, on Wednesday. This is the first federal quarantine in over 50 years. [more]

They do not, however, fully seal the nose and mouth or generally cover the eyes. [more]

Stalled $1 Billion Gas Pipe Gets Backing From U.S. Regulator
https://www.yahoo.com/news/stalled-1-billion-gas-pipe-181706878.html
A controversial $1 billion shale gas pipeline that’s been stalled by a dispute over whether it can seize state-owned land for construction won the backing of the nation’s top energy regulator.
PennEast had sought the support of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission after a court decision prevented it from exercising eminent domain in New Jersey. Its developers -- which include Enbridge Inc. and Southern Co. -- argued the ruling overturned 80 years of industry practice.
On Thursday, the energy commission voted 2-1 in favor of PennEast’s petition, lending the project support as it prepares to take its case to the nation’s highest court. [more; where it will be rubber-stamped]
