Event Update For 2018-04-03





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.

    Indian woman fights off tiger with a stick
    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/indian-woman-fights-off-tiger-with-a-stick/ar-AAvrSX4

    A young Indian woman was lucky to survive, doctors say, after she fought off a tiger that attacked her goat.

    Rupali Meshram, 23, said when she heard the goat scream she ran out of her house in western Maharashtra state. She picked up a stick and hit the tiger, which then attacked her. Her mother, who was also injured, saved her by pulling her inside the house.

    They both sustained only minor injuries and have now been discharged from the hospital. The goat did not survive. [more]

    Most expensive weather disaster of 2018: a $3.9 billion drought in Argentina and Uruguay
    http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/04/most-expensive-weather-disaster-of-2018.html

    My 2016 post, Food System Shock: Climate Change's Greatest Threat to Civilization, argued that the greatest threat of climate change to civilization over the next 40 years is likely to be climate change-amplified extreme droughts and floods hitting multiple major global grain-producing "breadbaskets" simultaneously. I predicted that an extreme weather year capable of causing a significant disruption of the global economy, intense political turmoil, war and the threat of mass famine was increasing in probability, becoming a 1-in-50-year event 40 years from now--a 2% chance of happening in a given year--due to the increasingly extreme nature of the jet stream, when combined with the ongoing increase in global temperatures, drought intensity, and heavy precipitation events.

    Insect Decimation Upstages Global Warming [by ROBERT HUNZIKER]
    http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2018/04/insect-armageddon.html

    An alarming loss of insects will likely take down humanity before global warming hits maximum velocity.

    [c'mon Robert, you know that global warming CAUSES this]

    One of the world’s best and oldest entomological resources is Krefeld Entomological Society (est. 1905) tracking insect abundance at more than 100 nature reserves. They first noticed a significant drop off of insects in 2013 when the total mass of catch fell by 80%. Again, in 2014 the numbers were just as low. Subsequently, the society discovered huge declines in several observation sites throughout Western Europe. [more]

But officials signaled no interest for now in bringing their vast holdings of U.S. Treasuries [around $1.17 trillion of Treasuries as of the end of January] to the fight. [more]

    Had the market crashed the first time it retested the trendline in late February, that would have been the 1929/1987 analog. But to drip ever lower in the direction of trend, attended by human history's largest boatload of bullshit, is something we've never seen before. In human history. [more]

    The Moment Of Inconvenient Truth
    http://ponziworld.blogspot.com/2018/04/the-moment-of-inconvenient-truth.html

    Forty years of Supply Side orthodoxy and non-stop lying, now hangs on Twitter

    The moment that I've been waiting for since I started this blog over ten years ago has now come to pass. The Republican party is forced, by their own president, to look themselves in the mirror and say "who are we?" and "what have we done?"...

    The schism could not be more stark right now as Bannon came out swinging today, saying basically fuck Wall Street, they're the ones who screwed the middle class for decades.

    Meanwhile, Larry Kudlow was also out today trying to reassure Wall Street that this is all just negotiating tactics and posturing. Kudlow's Supply Side love ramped the Dow from a -500 point loss to a 230 point gain.

    Which brings up the question, who is right? Obviously Bannon is right in terms of the fact that there is nothing to show for free trade other than a pile of debt and a hollowed out middle class. 2008 and the subsequent 0% lost decade of fentanyl overdoses and mass shootings, proved that free trade has failed.

    Bulls have expended tremendous ammo and even more bullshit to go nowhere for two weeks four months straight. Not that anyone could tell from the headlines.

    The battle of the 200 day has lasted two months since early February. Deja vu of 2015

    Leading the bounce back from the brink are Facebook and Amazon, compliments of short sellers booking recent profits

    The derivatives tail is wagging the dog with assistance from short-sellers. There are no real buyers anymore. Which is why realized volatility is so high. There is a trap door under the casino.

    Of course if my interpretation is correct, consider what comes next.

    The terms "safe haven" and "low volatility" will be finally put to rest. [more]
