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.

ReplyDeleteDead, frozen whale buried on NJ beach; removal was too hard
https://www.yahoo.com/news/dead-frozen-whale-buried-nj-153354223.html
BARNEGAT LIGHT, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey beach is the final resting place for a 15-ton (13,600-kilogram) whale whose lifeless body washed ashore on Christmas day.
State and local officials used heavy equipment to bury the 31-foot (9.5-meter) male humpback whale on a beach Monday morning.
The whale was frozen solid and could not be cut into pieces for removal, as is commonly done in other cases in which dead whales wash ashore. [more; won't the gases rise when it thaws?]

Though the FDA recently gave emergency use authorization (EUA) to Moderna's (NASDAQ:MRNA) mRNA-1273 coronavirus vaccine, the company's stock was a big dud on Monday. This was likely due to some scary-sounding news regarding one patient who was administered the vaccine before Christmas. [more; only ONE?]

Sea-level rise from climate change could exceed the high-end projections, scientists warn
http://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2020/12/23/sea-level-rise-from-climate-change-could-exceed-the-high-end-projections-scientists-warn/
Of the many threats from climate change, sea-level rise will most certainly be among the most impactful, making hundreds of thousands of square miles of coastline uninhabitable and potentially displacing over 100 million people worldwide by the end of the century. This threat is a top concern for national security experts because forced migration poses significant risks to international security and stability. [more]

Noctilucent clouds almost completely missing over Antarctica
ReplyDeletehttps://www.sott.net/article/446446-Noctilucent-clouds-almost-completely-missing-over-Antarctica
"Noctilucent cloud frequencies are close to zero this year."
A crucial point: Noctilucent clouds form during summer. And that's the problem. Although summer officially started in Antarctica one week ago, the southern stratosphere still seems to think it's winter. In particular, the stratospheric polar vortex, which should be breaking up around now, is stubbornly hanging on. The polar vortex chokes off gravity waves, which would normally carry water vapor into the upper atmosphere. Without water vapor, NLCs cannot form. [more]
It Sure Looks Like the RNA World Hypothesis Is Wrong
https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/sure-looks-rna-world-hypothesis-145500397.html
New research suggests life began with a chimeric mix of RNA and DNA.
This would explain a longstanding puzzle, because pure RNA is hard to split apart.
Enzyme-free RNA transmission could have implications for medicine like vaccines.
The missing piece of the explanation is a molecule called diamidophosphate (DAP), which “could have chemically knitted together tiny DNA building blocks called deoxynucleosides into strands of primordial DNA,” Scripps Research explains in a statement. [more]

WHO says coronavirus pandemic is ‘not the big one’ the world needs to brace for
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/who-says-coronavirus-pandemic-is-not-the-big-one-the-world-needs-to-brace-for-2020-12-29
The global case tally of the coronavirus-borne illness COVID-19 climbed above 81.5 million on Tuesday, and the World Health Organization said the pandemic is not necessarily the big one that the world should brace for and urged people everywhere to learn from this crisis [learn WHAT? Not to trust YOU lot!]
“This is a wake-up call. We are learning now how to do things better — science, logistics, training and governance, how to communicate better. But the planet is fragile. We live in an increasingly complex global society. These threats will continue. If there is one thing we need to take from this pandemic, with all of the tragedy and loss, [it] is [that] we need to get our act together. We need to honor those we’ve lost by getting better at what we do every day.”
