http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capital-weather-gang/wp/2015/09/03/torrential-monsoon-thunderstorms-converge-over-phoenix-in-striking-timelapse/Note: I mentioned some science news a while back, in the 2015-06-29 update, noting that scientists have discovered that hydrogen sulfide is the best superconductor ever found, and superconducts at -70 Celsius under very high pressure. So it is no stretch to conclude that as more hydrogen sulfide blows around in the atmosphere, that is affecting electrical conductivity, and that may be resulting in increasingly violent and deadly lightning strikes. I'm not saying that hydrogen sulfide will turn the atmosphere into a superconductor; I'm just saying that it will affect the conductivity of the atmosphere (and possibly the ground), at least sometimes, and that will exacerbate electricity-related problems, including lightning strikes...2015-09-03 -
Heartbreaking photos show how we're destroying the Pacific Ocean:

In other words, the Pacific Ocean is turning more landfill-like. What do landfills emit? Hydrogen sulfide and methane. Both gases will kill fish, and hydrogen sulfide will leak into the atmosphere and kill life on land too. And both cause fires. How's life doing along the West Coast? Oh, everything is dying: whales, birds, sea lions, deepwater oarfish, starfish, salmon, etc. Where are the states with all the big fires? On the West Coast...2015-09-03 -
Vast amounts of ice melting in Greenland and Antarctica, 5 trillion tons lost so far since 1992:
http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2015/09/03/ice_loss_greenland_and_antarctica_lost_5_trillion_tons_since_1992.htmlNote: And that mass goes into the oceans, where the Earth's crust is thinnest, and then MISA Theory kicks in. And then we start seeing rising volcanism, especially in the oceans, and sometimes that volcanism creates new islands, as has happened numerous times in the last two or three years. And all that subsurface volcanism and heat is a big boost to the ancient anaerobic bacteria and archaea that produce hydrogen sulfide, so life in the oceans starts dying. All of this is precisely what we've been seeing happening all around the planet in the last five years or so...2015-09-03 -

And once that methane reaches the air, where's it going to go? Winds tend to blow west-to-east because of the rotation of the Earth, so the methane will blow onto California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska and western Canada, and nobody will smell it because methane is odorless. Then some of it will adsorb onto matter. Then when fires break out, they will burn harder, faster and hotter than normal. Say, which states are going up in flames right now? Alaska, California, Oregon and Washington...2015-09-12 -

I'm in no way saying that hydrogen sulfide will turn the atmosphere into a gigantic superconductor, but it is no stretch to think that as the atmosphere gets increasingly contaminated by hydrogen sulfide this will affect the electrical conductivity of the atmosphere and possibly the ground too, making lightning strikes more common and more dangerous. I highly suspect that we're seeing that effect now and if so then the lightning strike problem is certain to get worse as time goes on...2015-09-12 -
