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.

Humpday Jonny, all. Reading over the stories, i see that once again nobody thinks about consequences when we discover some new kind of energy production. This time it's solar farms in the desert (what could go wrong?).
ReplyDeleteScientists unearth a consequence of solar panels in the Sahara
https://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2021/02/21/scientists-unearth-a-consequence-of-solar-panels-in-the-sahara/
While the black surfaces of solar panels absorb most of the sunlight that reaches them, only a fraction (around 15%) of that incoming energy gets converted to electricity. The rest is returned to the environment as heat. The panels are usually much darker than the ground they cover, so a vast expanse of solar cells will absorb a lot of additional energy and emit it as heat, affecting the climate.
If these effects were only local, they might not matter in a sparsely populated and barren desert. But the scale of the installations that would be needed to make a dent in the world’s fossil energy demand would be vast, covering thousands of square kilometers. Heat re-emitted from an area this size will be redistributed by the flow of air in the atmosphere, having regional and even global effects on the climate.
The model revealed that when the size of the solar farm reaches 20% of the total area of the Sahara, it triggers a feedback loop. [more]

A New Highly Resistant COVID Variant Has Emerged In California, And It Could Make This Plague Far Worse
https://endoftheamericandream.com/a-new-highly-resistant-covid-variant-has-emerged-in-california-and-it-could-make-this-plague-far-worse/
Just when it seemed like the COVID pandemic may be subsiding, a new COVID strain has emerged in California that has the potential to change everything. According to tests conducted by Dr. Charles Chiu and his team, this new strain appears to result in more severe illness, and it also appears to result in more people dying from the virus. Even more troubling, Chiu’s team discovered that there is “a two- to four-fold reduction in the ability of antibodies to fend off the variant virus”. In other words, those that have already been vaccinated may or may not have protection against this new variant. When Californians start to figure out that the vaccines that they have been taking may not even be effective against the strain that is rapidly becoming dominant in their state, a lot of them won’t be happy.
Of course it is just a matter of time before this new strain travels to all of the other 49 states as well. [more]
Virus Mania: How the Medical Industry Continually Invents Epidemics
PCR Pandemic Interview with Virus Mania's Dr Claus Köhnlein
https://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2021/02/virus-mania-how-medical-industry.html [~ 36.75 min. video]
New Zealand's Dr Sam Bailey talks to Dr Claus Köhnlein (Co-Author, ‘Virus Mania’ ) about everything Covid-19. Diving deep into the reasons for excess mortality, Covid-19 PCR testing, parallels with the HIV epidemic, why coronavirus vaccines are being promoted and much more.
The central aim of this book is to steer the discussion back to a real scientific debate and put medicine back on the path of an impartial analysis of the facts. It will put medical experiments, clinical trials, statistics and government policies under the microscope, revealing that the people charged with protecting our health and safety have deviated from this path. To substantiate these statements, the authors cite dozens of highly renowned scientists and present approximately 1,100 pertinent scientific references. [more; link to his book provided!

Massive explosion in Texas after train carrying fuel collides with 18-wheeler (video)
https://strangesounds.org/2021/02/train-carrying-fuel-explodes-after-colliding-with-18-wheeler-in-texas-video.html
The train, which was carrying fuel, exploded after colliding with an 18-wheeler around 6:45 a.m. CT just outside of the city of Cameron, located about 75 miles northeast of Austin.
The BNSF train was carrying mixed freight and derailed near Hoyte. The train was struck by a semi-truck, “which impacted a [train] car carrying gasoline,” BNSF Railways Senior Director of External Communications Courtney Wallace told the outlet.
Out of a total of 110 train cars, 13 derailed, Wallace said, citing initial reports. Five of the train cars that were carrying gasoline were still on fire hours after the crash.
“There were no injuries to the crew or truck driver." [more]

[lovely; you can imagine the smell, never mind any fish . ..]
Environmental activists in Bosnia are warning that tons of garbage floating down the Balkan country’s rivers are endangering the local ecosystem and people’s health.
The Drina River, located on the border between Bosnia and Serbia, has been covered for weeks with trash that has piled up faster than the authorities can clear it out.
Weeks of wet winter weather that swelled the Drina and its tributaries pulled plastic bottles, rusty barrels, used tires, old furniture and other rubbish into the water.
Near the eastern Bosnian town of Visegrad, islands of garbage can be seen floating on the emerald-colored water as they advance toward the dam of the local hydroelectric power plant.
Activists say the situation is similar for miles up and downstream from Visegrad. [more]

A South Florida woman who set fire last fall to 10 garbage trucks outside a solid waste business where she worked has been arrested, authorities said.
Saprell Frazier, 43, was taken into custody during a traffic stop Friday in Pompano Beach, a day after being placed under surveillance, according to a Broward Sheriff's Office report. She was charged with one count of burglary with structural damage and 11 counts of second-degree arson.
According to a news release, surveillance video from the early morning hours of Oct. 18 shows a person in a garbage bag suit and goggles break into the Waste Pro compound in Pompano Beach, just north of Fort Lauderdale. Investigators said the intruder torched the gate before walking around the compound and setting fire to multiple trucks. Before leaving, the person opened a door to the building and placed a bottle containing a clear substance on the floor and then set it on fire, officials said.
Investigators estimated the fires did about $4 million in damage.

U.S. shale producers reveal extent of hit from Texas freeze
ReplyDeletehttps://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/shale-producers-see-deep-freeze-213044469.html
While natural gas producers benefited from cold weather forcing closure of wells, shale oil drillers stood on the losing side of the trade as frozen pipes and power supply interruptions were expected to slow an output recovery, operators said.
Shale oil producers could take at least two weeks to restart the more than 2 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude output lost during the cold snap and some production may never return because of the cost of restarting marginal wells, analysts said.
Diamondback estimated it lost four to five days worth of total production from its current-quarter earnings, sending its shares down nearly 4% to $65.95 in late trading. [more]
