Event Update For 2020-12-18

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.

2020-12-18 - Analysis of the methane threat:
http://www.citywatchla.com/index.php/cw/los-angeles/20927-menacing-methane-an-analysis

Quote: "Areas where naked hydrates are melting show methane measurements so extensive that a ship randomly sailing by, if it created a spark or dropped a cigarette overboard, would blow up. 'This is truly a frightening circumstance of huge amounts of methane released from the seabed coming up to the sea surface where it is released into the atmosphere.'"

Quote: "We know that something has been going on in the last few years because if we look at the amount of methane in the atmosphere, it rose steadily from the 1980s and then it reached a peak in the year 2000...since 2007, an increase once again, and it’s been going up ever since in an accelerating way."

Quote: "Emergency plans should be formulated by nation/states and especially by coastal cities because a 'big burst' could happen at any time. Estimates are within the next few years. Certainly, the underwater permafrost is thinning. Russian scientists measure it. "

Note: So a 50-gigaton methane release could happen at any time. 'Next few years' is a guess. It might not happen for 10 years, or it could happen tomorrow. Already methane is bubbling up into the atmosphere from the ocean along a large stretch of the East Siberian Arctic Shelf and before that methane began exploding out of the ground and creating gigantic craters in the landscape in Siberia. Those are pretty big indicators that a major methane release is increasingly imminent. And that first 50-gigaton methane release will be just the beginning...
