http://www.interfax.com/newsinf.asp?id=726098

Quote: "Moscow residents continue to complain of a strong smell of hydrogen sulfide in the air on the street and in the apartment, covered with messages of emergency services. In the MOE does not yet give any comments, and from Muscovites in social networks have already received a few reports that people are starting to become bad."

Quote: "We will remind, the first messages to the community about a strong smell of hydrogen sulfide in the air appeared in the second half of the day Wednesday, January 4th. First, the increased content of substance in the air was felt only on the street, and later, the tenants began to complain, and in a similar situation in their apartments."

Note: This is now at least the third time that hydrogen sulfide has hit Moscow. A huge cloud of hydrogen sulfide hit Moscow in November 2014, mentioned in the 2014-11-10 update. Residents were told to shelter-in-place during that event and soldiers in gas masks were on the streets. Then high levels of hydrogen sulfide hit Moscow again in July 2016, mentioned in the 2016-07-04 update...

2017-01-04 - Tenfold jump in green technologies needed to meet global emissions targets:
http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2017/01/tenfold-jump-in-green-technologies.html

Note: Even if somehow we were to achieve that tenfold jump, that's predicated on the Earth not ramping up its own emissions, and that's already happening. So, the situation is out of our control, if it was ever in our control in the first place. Even if every factory shut down and every vehicle and human being disappeared, the Earth will keep on spewing more and more methane and hydrogen sulfide and CO2 into the atmosphere, just as has happened before. We are now irrelevant...

2017-01-07 - Hydrogen sulfide killing fish in Lake Averno (Italy):
http://strangesounds.org/2017/01/hydrogen-sulfide-kills-fish-lake-averno-signs-of-an-imminent-eruption-campi-flegrei.html
http://www.leggo.it/news/italia/lago_averno_moria_pesci-2181316.html
http://marygreeley.com/?page_id=43885

Quote: "Lake Averno is situated in the Campi Flegrei volcanic field. Today, hydrogen sulfide present in the waters killed hundreds of fish in the lake. Is that a sign of an imminent eruption of Campi Flegrei? Hundreds of dead fish were found along the shores of Lake Averno in the volcanic field of Campi Flegrei. Next eruption? via Leggo. Today, you will only hear talking about this sudden and strong smell of sulfur around the shores of the lake of Averno, the historical door to the underworld according to Romans."

Quote: "This would be due to the presence of hydrogen sulfide in the water that comes from the volcanic activity below the water surface – emission of fumaroles releasing the strong smell of sulfur."

Note: The bacteria and archaea that produce hydrogen sulfide do grow around volcanic vents, so if Campi Flegrei is pushing lava closer to the surface, then bacterial mats will start growing wherever the water temps rise, there's little or no oxygen in the water, and there's biomatter (like dead fish) or methane present. The story says maybe it's a natural event, as if that means it's of no concern. The Permian-Triassic extinction event - the Great Dying - was a natural event too, and it wiped out most oxygen-using life on this planet. The same thing is happening now. Maybe your toe tag will end up with the words 'natural event' on it, but dead is still dead...

http://www.fox35orlando.com/news/local-news/228811833-story

Quote: "The problem goes back years, when construction trash mixed with trash from homes. It created a build-up of hydrogen sulfide gas, which stinks."

Quote: "Over the last couple of days, many Orange County residents have been crying foul over the odors coming from the county's landfill. Officials say they're aware of the problem and working hard to fix it. People living in the Randal Park neighborhood, in East Orlando, describe the smell like this: 'It smells like rotten eggs,' says John Tice, a Randal Park Resident. 'Diarrhea,' says Michael Carlucci, another Randal Park Resident. They're worried about smells coming from the Orange County Landfill, just a few miles north of the community."

http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/database/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=UEV-20170113-56756-GBR

Quote: "Crisis has ensued at UK's NHS with more than 23 hospitals having called a BLACK ALERT on account of overcrowding of patients so much so that the said hospitals can no longer guarantee patient safety and provide their full range of normal services. Hospitals have declared a black alert - the highest level, which means they cannot cope with the number of patients - while others are on 'red alert', which means they are under 'extreme pressure'. Unable to cope with the sheer number of patients, Struggling hospitals have been forced to take highly unusual steps in order to manage a surge in demand for care."

Note: So first there was a spike in dying in the UK, mentioned in the 2016-03-14 update, which resulted in the funeral industry posting some hefty profits. And now the hospital system in the UK is overloaded with people needing medical care. More people dying, more people sickening, on an island nation...

Quote: "According to a release issued by City Council, the Department of Environment carried out a tour of the area taking eight water samples and found the presence of hydrogen sulfide which is being generated by the natural decomposition of organic matter. The smell has been particularly troublesome to beachgoers and business owners in that area as the smell of sewage has been detected as far away as Shangri-La beach, some 300 meters away."

2017-01-14 - Colony of cat-rat chimeras found in home in Lethabong (South Africa):

http://www.thesun.co.uk/news/2599199/bizarre-half-rat-half-cat-creatures-discovered-stuck-behind-familys-kitchen-cupboard/
http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/578106/Rats-invasion-cats-family-home

Quote: "Strange creatures that appears to have a cat’s head and rat’s body has apparently been discovered by a terrified family who called their local church leader to kill them. The animals were found in a house in Lethabong, Rustenburg, in South Africa."

Note: Those are genetic chimeras, a combination of two species. As methane and hydrogen sulfide react away the UV protection in the atmosphere and turn the Sun whiter, the Earth is being hit by more UV, which damages DNA/RNA. It appears Mother Nature has a trick - which humans have replicated in labs - where holes in DNA/RNA are filled with genetic information from another species. We do it in labs with retroviruses, so it is my working hypothesis that Mother Nature also uses viruses to blend species in an effort to 'patch up' genetic damage. Not every species will be able to be blended with any other species. Birds and mammals have different genetic structure, and I haven't seen a bird-mammal chimera yet, so that looks unlikely or impossible. But lizard-human, cow-human, wolf-human, pig-human, cat-rat, fish-human, anything like that - all possibilities which could appear anywhere at any time now.

As this extinction event progresses, we're extremely likely to see all kinds of new lifeforms, and sometimes there will be enough to form a breeding colony and establish a new species. Some of these could be extremely dangerous to humanity, like human-lizard chimeras which reproduce via parthenogenesis, needing only one individual for reproduction, and which have hands and near-human (or better) intelligence. If such a species gains a foothold, they could rapidly raise armies and they would not be likely to be friendly to humans. On the plus side, this means that even if humans go extinct (extremely likely), fragments of our DNA may yet live on, embedded in other new species that arise, species which may have a much better chance of surviving this extinction event than we do...

A second worker went into rescue him and collapsed as well. The same thing happened to a third worker who tried to help him. Ramsay said the men were overwhelmed by a combination of methane and hydrogen sulfide gas coming out of the 15-foot deep hole."

Quote: "Foul odor sparks worries about Downriver water. Residents say water smells like sulfer, tastes like sewage."

Quote: "Residents living Downriver in Metro Detroit are complaining about the water quality, saying their tap water smells like sulfur and tastes like sewage. After testing the water, the Great Lakes Water Authority and individual municipalities said the water is safe to drink, despite the smell. But residents are still leery. Kristina Bacon, of Trenton, is hesitant to drink her own tap water after her cats and dogs got sick last week. '(My) big dog started vomiting and so did (my) little dog, so we said, "No. no. We're switching to bottled (water),"' Bacon said."

Quote: "Researchers have designed a lithium-ion battery that contains a fire-extinguishing material, which is released if the battery gets too hot. Flame retardant triphenyl phosphate (TPP) sits inside a shell within the electrolyte fluid. The shell melts when the temperature reaches 150C (302F), releasing the chemical compound. In tests, battery fires were extinguished in 0.4 seconds."

2017-01-17 - Hydrogen sulfide leaking from sewers in coastal Warwick (Rhode Island), smoke test to be performed:
http://warwickpost.com/warwick-sewer-authority-smoke-test-thursday-morning-seeks-odors-source/

Quote: "The mystery cause of odors from sewer lines along Cedar Swamp Road, a long-time source of area residents’ complaints, may soon be uncovered as the Warwick Sewer Authority (WSA) conducts a 'smoke test' of the system there. Janine Burke-Wells, WSA’s Executive Director, said her office has received complaints about odors in the area for the last nine years. In fall of 2011, a sewer line on Cedar Swamp Road, corroded by hydrogen sulfide, collapsed. The corrosive gas, which smells like rotten eggs, also generated complaints from neighbors. Following the collapse, the WSA installed odor control chemicals at three pump stations, removed an obstruction that was causing hydrogen sulfide buildup, adjusted pumping frequencies to prevent stagnant wastes, flushed the lines there, added carbon filters and sent staff to investigate complaints. Those efforts were focused on controlling the odors. Now, 'We would like to prevent the odors, if possible,' she said."

Note: I wonder how many people in this area have dropped dead from heart attacks, strokes and brain aneurysms in the last few years...

Quote: "The onsen study was conducted after a news report last autumn about a man who was found unconscious at a hot spring in Ashoro, a town in Hokkaido, in October 2014. The man showed signs of hydrogen sulfide poisoning. The case prompted the ministry to call on local governments to measure gas levels at onsen in their jurisdictions."

Note: And another. As the world warms, more moisture enters the atmosphere, and as the methane around the world spews into the atmosphere, it breaks down into CO2 and H20, adding yet more water to the atmosphere. The result is more high-precip events, more snow where it's cold, more rain where it's warm. The methane will cause yet more warming, releasing even more methane and the additional warming will cause yet more water vapor to enter the atmosphere, so high-precip events are going to be getting continuously worse from now on, as they already have been for some time...

Quote: "The crack that looks set to spawn a giant iceberg in the Antarctic has continued to spread. The rift in the Larsen C Ice Shelf has grown a further 10km since 1 January. If the fissure propagates just 20km more, it will free a tabular berg one-quarter the size of Wales. That would make it one of the biggest icebergs ever recorded, according to researchers at Swansea and Aberystwyth universities, and the British Antarctic Survey."

Quote: "Any changes as a plane navigates airspace should be gradual. Tobiska and colleagues have found something quite different, however: Sometimes dose rates skyrocket for no apparent reason. 'We were quite surprised to see this,' says Tobiska."

http://robertscribbler.com/2017/01/20/nasa-data-shows-the-rate-of-global-warming-is-accelerating-2016-is-third-consecutive-hottest-year-on-record/

Quote: "Over just the past three years, global temperatures have risen by about 0.4 degrees Celsius. This was an extreme acceleration in the rate of warming. One that is unmatched in all of the past 136 years of climate record keeping."

Note: Feedbacks are kicking in at a faster and faster rate now, each feedback amplifying others. The methane clathrates in the Arctic could go bonkers with explosive methane releases at any time now, especially if the Arctic continues to be hit by record warmth. And then the global firestorms will begin, starting in the northern hemisphere and spreading southward. That's probably why George W. Bush bought almost 100,000 acres in Paraguay. He and his family might be able to live an extra year or two or three that far south...

http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2017/01/50-doomiest-stories-of-2016.html

Quote: "For a long time, Desdemona has feared that when the effects of global warming become obvious to everyone, governments will shut down our Earth observation science, so that collectively, the human species can bury its head in the sand. The year 2016 saw huge strides toward this goal of dismantling science and blinding us all. The May government in the UK and the Turnbull government in Australia defunded their climate science research programs. In the U.S., the Trump team declared that they are seeking quick ways of withdrawing from the Paris agreement on climate change, and that NASA Earth science will be defunded. Scientists undertook a desperate effort to copy public climate data from government servers, in the event that Trump’s climate denialists order its destruction."

http://bipartisanreport.com/2017/01/28/just-in-ex-kgb-spy-linked-to-trumps-russia-dossier-found-dead-details/

Quote: "The mysterious death of Erovinkin just happened to occur around the same timeframe in which Russian authorities dragged a top FSB agent, Sergei Mikhailov, out of a meeting with a bag over his head and then made him disappear — while also arresting three other agents. It paints a picture of Vladimir Putin wiping out those within his own ranks whom he suspected of having helped leak the Trump blackmail story to the Western World."

Note: He may have been killed because he was screwing stuff up by leaking potentially useful information on Trump's 'activities' in Russia. Strategically speaking, I'm sure Putin would rather have dirt on Trump to use as leverage than simply see the dirt given away for no gain. Ergo, this guy had to die. If they've got significant dirt on Trump, which they might, then this is the first time Russia has EVER had blackmail-caliber information on a sitting US president, and Putin would definitely not want that capability wasted. On the other hand, numerous people ARE randomly slumping over dead in cars nowadays, and former KGB/FSB generals aren't immune to that. Still, it does seem mighty convenient...

Quote: "The biggest winners from the construction of Donald Trump’s 'big, beautiful, powerful' wall along the U.S.-Mexico border are likely to be Mexican cement companies and construction workers."

Note: At the end of the day, everybody north of the wall is gonna be dead, and everybody south of the wall is gonna be dead, and neither piles of corpses are going to care if there's a wall between them. I guess it gives us something to do though, and it'll help keep people oblivious and distracted as they BECOME those piles of corpses. Of course, we could be using all the effort and resources to, you know, preserve human life and civilization, but it appears that creating a wall between soon-to-be piles of corpses is a much bigger priority than that.

http://www.sott.net/article/341265-Underwater-volcano-eruption-spotted-near-Tonga

Quote: "An underwater volcano situated near Tonga named 'Submarine Volcano III' has been erupting for over a week, according to a GNS scientist and Nasa images. On January 31, a plume was seen emanating from a 'submarine volcano' by University of Auckland geographers. It is situated about 46km northwest of Tonga's capital, Nuku'alofa. Satellite images taken from the Tongan area proved the underwater eruption is underway - and still going."

2017-01-31 - Arctic continues warming at never-before-seen rate:
http://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2017/01/27/today-in-weather-climate-record-arctic-anomaly-edition/

Quote: "Essentially, there has been no winter this year in the Arctic, at least not anything remotely resembling winters of even the recent past. Mark Serreze, the director of the National Snow and Ice Data Center, has a good description of the likely culprits. His conclusion: 'after studying the Arctic and its climate for three and a half decades, I have concluded that what has happened over the last year goes beyond even the extreme.' It’s not yet known what the consequences of this will be. The Arctic is changing far faster than most scientists believed was likely, or even possible, just a few years ago."

http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2017/01/30/i-team-plano-testing-air-for-hazardous-gas-as-neighbors-complain-about-awful-smell/

Quote: "For years, residents have complained to the city about a 'rotten egg smell' in their neighborhood. 'You can’t ignore it,' said homeowner Tami Stepp. 'It’s just awful.' Plano’s Public Works Department said what residents smell is hydrogen sulfide, or H2S, coming from poorly designed sewer lines in the area."
