Event Update For 2020-09-20




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.

  1. Mornin' Jonny, everyone. Welcome to Fall, 2020.

    Finally, i think the chilliness is over here for at least this week. It didn't even make it to 70 yesterday and last night was in the 40s again.

    The first day of fall is here, as the autumnal equinox is Tuesday. Get ready for sweater weather.
    https://www.yahoo.com/news/comes-first-day-fall-autumnal-133858517.html

    Our long, hot summer is finally coming to an end on Tuesday, Sept. 22 with the autumnal equinox, which marks the beginning of fall in the Northern Hemisphere.

    Autumn arrives Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. EDT (that's 8:30 a.m. CDT, 7:30 a.m. MDT and 6:30 a.m. PDT).

    At a precise moment each September, on either the 21st, 22nd or 23rd, the sun is directly above the equator, marking the exact time of the autumnal equinox here in the Northern Hemisphere. [more]

  2. GE: Industrial giant will stop building coal-fired power plants [i thought they were near bankruptcy]
    https://www.yahoo.com/news/ge-industrial-giant-stop-building-194853946.html

    In a dramatic reversal, one of the world's biggest makers of coal-fired power plants is to exit the market and focus on greener alternatives.

    US industrial giant General Electric said it would shut or sell sites as it prioritised its renewable energy and power generation businesses.

    It comes ahead of a US Presidential election in which the candidates hold starkly different views on coal.

    NGO the Natural Resources Defense Council said the move was "about time". [more]

    Why Is The Mainstream Media Signaling That A Much Larger Stock Market Decline Is Coming?
    http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/why-is-the-mainstream-media-signaling-that-a-much-larger-stock-market-decline-is-coming

    Why would the mainstream media want all of us to believe that stock prices are about to fall dramatically? Just like we witnessed earlier this year at the beginning of the pandemic, the corporate media is full of reports that seem to imply that it is a virtual certainty that stock prices are going to go even lower. Of course it would make perfect sense for stock prices to go down because they are incredibly overvalued right now, but normally the mainstream media does not try to tell us where stock prices are going next. And the fact that so many news outlets are repeating the same mantra right now is particularly troublesome.

    Without a doubt, the momentum of stock prices is taking us in a downward direction at the moment. All of the major stock indexes have posted declines for three weeks in a row, and it looks like this week could make it four.

    Could it be possible that there will be an attempt to disrupt the market in an attempt to make one of the candidates look bad? [more; there you go]

  3. Africa Is Experiencing Some of the Worst Climate Disasters, But the World Watches California Burn. America Needs to Lead on Climate Change
    https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/africa-experiencing-worst-climate-disasters-204800584.html

    While the world watched as California burns, deadly flash floods hit my home city of Kampala. No one paid very much attention, but countries in Africa are on the front lines of the climate crisis, and events like this are now taking place year-round. Sudan has declared a state of emergency due to record flooding; the Nile River rose almost 17.5 meters in places, and more than 100,000 homes have been destroyed. In East Africa, a plague of locusts threatens the food supply of 20 million people, and extreme weather, including a powerful cyclone season last year, created the wet conditions that fueled the outbreak. In Southern Africa, drought is threatening millions with food shortages; many are facing starvation and death as crop yields plummet. And yet, money still pours in from abroad to fund the burning of fossil fuels in Africa. Breaking news: We cannot eat coal or drink oil.

    These are just a mere handful of examples of what climate change is doing to Africa already. [more]

  4. US faces ticking ‘feral swine bomb’ as millions of wild pigs run rampant across country
    https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-faces-ticking-feral-swine-165858424.html

    A population explosion among wild boars in the US has led experts to warn that a "feral swine bomb," if left unchecked, could wreak havoc on large swaths of the country.

    Feral hogs trample and tear-up crops, attack livestock, and can destroy sensitive habitats. The pigs also act as disease carriers. They can host more than 30 viral and bacterial diseases as well as scores of parasites.

    There are approximately 9 million feral hogs in the US, and their numbers are multiplying quickly. [more]





    Climate Week: World split on urgency of tackling rising temperatures, poll suggests

    Some Californians see clear skies for first time in weeks, but major wildfires continue to rage
    https://www.yahoo.com/news/californians-see-clear-skies-first-173420427.html

    Many people got a brief respite from smoky skies Sunday, and a handful of national parks reopened over the weekend, even as major wildfires raged across the Golden State.

    "What benefits us is harming others. Someone has to be downwind," said Brandt Maxwell, a National Weather Service meteorologist. "We're doing better now, but we're certainly far from perfect because there are so many fires, and some areas still have a lot of smoke to deal with."

    He said the break may be short-lived, and smoky skies could develop as early as Tuesday. [more]
