I have hazwoper training and H2S is covered extensively. It is a very dangerous chemical in confined spaces and is dealt with daily in thousands of rusty, electrically powered locations.
I wouldn't be surprised to correlate H2S off-gassing to methane sublimation at sea. I would be very surprised to see it causing fires, especially inland and related to clathrates.
Humans can smell hydrogen sulfide gas, the smell of rotten cabbage, in the parts per trillion range. In the deeps of the Black Sea today, hydrogen sulfide exists at about 200 parts per million. This is a toxic brew in which any aerobic, oxygen-needing organism would die. For the Black Sea, the hydrogen sulfide stays in the depths because our rich oxygen atmosphere mixes in the top layer of water and controls the diffusion of hydrogen sulfide upwards.

I'm not familiar with the chemistry involved. Do you have source for the H2S ghostly match effect? It sounds interesting.
For rust, all I found is that H2S can form Pyrophoric iron sulphide when concentrated in a tank at levels exceeding oxygen. There would much bigger problems if that much H2S was accumulating out of the atmosphere.
There are H2S meters for sale though. It would be a service to your community to monitor the atmosphere and any low lying areas for H2S plumes.

Why don't you move at the abandoned village near Fukushima, Sinse you claim there was no nuclear disaster, and zero people affected by it.
It is easy talking bs when your a$$ is safe, right?

I don't know man. What's your response to 2013 being the calmest weather year ever? You mention extreme storms and such, but the data doesn't show it.

Well, I don't know except that you're citing a story from a website claiming the weather isn't extreme, that also claims there was no radiation leak at Fukishima.
Physicist claims there was no radiation leak at Fukishima
I think I'll believe the hundreds of links I have provided over the past year in my threads versus a phony propaganda website claiming there hasn't been extreme weather or any other climate changes for that matter. I wonder who funds that website?
And the Post and USA Today...also, who gains by their phony stories. I don't believe anything I read in those papers including the worst of them all...the New York Times!

It's worse than that. He doesn't know that fires and explosions happen all the time. Him and this other chump look for events happening within the nation, and try to erroneously tie them into this theory, completely disregarding the fact that thousands of said events happen yearly nationwide, every year, for many decades now.
The methane issue is real, but it has yet to truly erupt. The guy doesn't even realize that it's normal for CH4 concentrations to rise the higher the latitude, and confuses a 1700 rating for spikes that are 1950-2100. It's still 1700 in most parts of the word, most of the time.
Not trying to downplay the methane releases, but also trying to combat misinformation.

So why is it that Britain says underground fires and explosions tripled from 2011 to 2012? Oh, you didn't know that? Hah, well, you're not very informed.
Did you know insurers are dropping recycling facilities and raising rates hugely for those still willing to take the risk, because fires at recycling facilities are escalating tremendously? Didn't know that? Then you're not very informed.
Did you know that the explosions and fires in vehicles have gotten so terrible in Vietnam that their government is having a special meeting just about that? Didn't know that? Well, obviously you're just, like, asleep, totally uninformed. Might wanna wake up before you don't ever wake up again.

Yet to truly erupt? Did you see where the scientist is quoted in the article as saying that a livable level is only 1200 ppb? Or do you have a way to deny that as well?
I recognize that all of these events have occurred in the past...it's the frequency and intensity of each individual event occurring now that deserves attention.
And yes, I disagree that this is a calm weather year. The Weather Channel decided this past winter for the first time to start naming winter storms...Each of the storms they named dropped a foot of snow somewhere and do you know they ran out of letters and had to start over at A...there were 28 winter storms that dropped over a foot of snow somewhere in the US last winter. And what about the repeated super typhoons in Asia or the number of hurricanes off the west coast of Mexico, dousing rain into the southwest US this year, causing numerous flooding events. Early October, 3 feet of snow drop on South Dakota killing over a hundred thousand cattle, said to have been a catastrophic event but without much media attention. And this is not to mention the extreme weather events in Australia...they've had anything but a normal weather year. What about the UK...you going to tell them in the UK that they are having a normal weather year. And there are plenty of Asian countries I think would disagree with you as well, considering the countless flooding rains there as well.
The only place I believe has been way below normal is the Atlantic hurricane season. Other than that...please point out some facts to your claims of it being the calmest weather year besides that lame energy propaganda website.
