"In religion and politics, people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue, but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing." -- Mark Twain

Event Update For 2021-08-24
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.

ReplyDeleteGettin' a bit warm around here since all the rain last week.
Fires all over, flooding abounds, earthquakes, landslides, sinkholes, giant cracks in the ground, tropical storms, and if it wasn't for all the sand blowing across the Atlantic, we'd probably be looking at more hurricanes.

Is the IPCC creating false perceptions, again?
https://arctic-news.blogspot.com/2021/08/is-the-ipcc-creating-false-perceptions-again.html
One of the first issues that comes up is the baseline. The IPCC uses 1850–1900 as a baseline, like it did before (in SR1.5). This is one out of many instances where the IPCC creates a perception that it would take many years before the 1.5°C threshold would be crossed. This 1850–1900 isn't pre-industrial. The Paris Agreement calls for pre-industrial as a base.
Furthermore, the IPCC uses seasonally-biased data to "reconstruct" the temperature rise before its baseline, making it look as if there was no rise before its baseline.
Adding up the rises for all these elements gives a total rise from pre-industrial to 2020 that could be as high as 1.29°C + 0.1°C + 0.1°C + 0.3°C + 0.2°C + 0.29°C = 2.28°C, as highlighted by above images and as further discussed at the pre-industrial page.
Given that humans will likely go extinct with a 3°C rise, and a 5°C rise will likely end most life on Earth, the IPCC could have given a little more warning that a huge temperature rise may happen over the next few years.
An upcoming El Niño could raise surface temperatures significantly. [more]

California wildfire dangers may be spreading south
https://news.yahoo.com/california-wildfire-dangers-may-spreading-040927995.html
A wildfire that burned several homes near Los Angeles may signal that the region is facing the same dangers that have scorched Northern California.
he fire in San Bernardino County erupted Wednesday afternoon, quickly burned several hundred acres and damaged or destroyed at least a dozen homes and outbuildings in the foothills northeast of LA, fire officials said.
Some 600 homes and other buildings were threatened along with power transmission lines, and 1,000 residents were under evacuation orders. [more; picture gallery]
2 Things Mainstream Media Didn’t Tell You About FDA’s Approval of Pfizer Vaccine
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/mainstream-media-fda-approval-pfizer-vaccine/
Buried in the fine print of Monday’s approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of the Pfizer Comirnaty COVID vaccine are two critical facts that affect whether the vaccine can be mandated, and whether Pfizer can be held liable for injuries.
Monday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a biologics license application for the Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine.
The press reported that vaccine mandates are now legal for military, healthcare workers, college students and employees in many industries. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has now required the vaccine for all teachers and school staff. The Pentagon is proceeding with its mandate for all military service members.
But there are several bizarre aspects to the FDA approval that will prove confusing to those not familiar with the pervasiveness of the FDA’s regulatory capture, or the depths of the agency’s cynicism.
First, the FDA acknowledges that while Pfizer has “insufficient stocks” of the newly licensed Comirnaty vaccine available, there is “a significant amount” of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccine — produced under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) — still available for use.
The FDA decrees that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine under the EUA should remain unlicensed but can be used “interchangeably” (page 2, footnote 8) with the newly licensed Comirnaty product.
Second, the FDA pointed out that the licensed Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine and the existing, EUA Pfizer vaccine are “legally distinct,” but proclaims that their differences do not “impact safety or effectiveness.”
There is a huge real-world difference between products approved under EUA compared with those the FDA has fully licensed. [more]

Extreme drought conditions impact US and worldwide crop productions – price surges ahead!
ReplyDeletehttps://strangesounds.org/2021/08/drought-crop-production-usa-world-price.html
Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday that, “Drought is blistering key U.S. cash crops, further elevating prices for staples including corn and wheat.
The article explained that, “Extreme heat is baking most of the U.S. North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska all contain areas of extreme drought, according to data from the U.S. Drought Monitor.
North Dakota and Minnesota, in particular, are experiencing near-record lows in soil moisture, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Some 63% of the U.S. spring wheat crop is in poor or very poor condition, versus 6% at this time last year, according to Agriculture Department data.” [more; ~ 5.75 min. video]

NHS draws up plans to vaccinate 12-year-olds WITHOUT needing parental consent
https://www.sott.net/article/457369-NHS-draws-up-plans-to-vaccinate-12-year-olds-WITHOUT-needing-parental-consent
The NHS has drawn up plans to start vaccinating 12-year-olds from the first week schools go back, The Telegraph can reveal. Health officials have said children would not need parental consent under the schools jabs programme. [i doubt that!]
The timetable - with the first jabs administered in less than two weeks time - has been drawn up despite the fact the Government's advisers have so far not recommended such a rollout.
One expert involved in the vaccine rollout voiced concern about the way the situation was being handled. They said: "We have repeatedly heard the JCVI saying they want to see more data before a decision like this is taken, but it seems like the Government has lost patience with that and is pushing to get this rolled out as soon as possible."
They also expressed concern about giving jabs to 12-year-olds without parental consent. [more]

A suicide bomb attack outside the Abbey Gate at Kabul's airport in Afghanistan Thursday killed four U.S. Marines and injured three others, U.S. officials told Fox News, as the Pentagon confirmed there was also a second blast at a nearby hotel where Americans had previously sheltered.
A U.S. official said the terror attack set off a firefight at Abbey Gate, where last night there were 5,000 Afghans and potentially some Americans seeking access to the airport to flee. [more]

U.S. officials said last week that adults vaccinated with the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines should start getting booster shots eight months after their second dose was administered, starting in mid-September. Now, a person familiar with the plans tells The Wall Street Journal, federal regulators will likely approve boosters for all three approved vaccines — Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson — starting six months after inoculation.

Official says Caldor Fire "has simply outpaced us" as it nears Lake Tahoe
https://news.yahoo.com/official-says-caldor-fire-simply-200742229.html
Burning only 11 miles southwest of the Lake Tahoe area, local officials said they worry about the fire's spread.
"This fire has just simply outpaced us," Marsolais said Tuesday night at a community briefing. "We emptied the cupboards of resources, and the local fire chiefs of Amador and El Dorado counties sent every resource they could, and no matter how many folks we tried to get on it, it just continued to outpace us."
As of Wednesday morning, the Caldor Fire has burned 126,182 acres and is only 11% contained, Cal Fire reports. The massive blaze has already damaged 461 residences, 34 structures, 11 commercial properties and 165 minor structures, with more than 17,000 structures still in its possible path. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. Fire officials expect to fully contain it by August 31. [more]
