Hydrogen sulfide has been implicated in several mass extinctions that have occurred in the Earth's past. In particular, a buildup of hydrogen sulfide in the atmosphere may have caused the Permian-Triassic extinction event 252 million years ago.[52]
Organic residues from these extinction boundaries indicate that the oceans were anoxic (oxygen-depleted) and had species of shallow plankton that metabolized H
2S. The formation of H
2S may have been initiated by massive volcanic eruptions, which emitted carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere, which warmed the oceans, lowering their capacity to absorb oxygen that would otherwise oxidize H
2S. The increased levels of hydrogen sulfide could have killed oxygen-generating plants as well as depleted the ozone layer, causing further stress. Small H
2S blooms have been detected in modern times in the Dead Sea and in the Atlantic ocean off the coast of Namibia.[

people need to look at the big picture these demonstrations were originally about closer ties to europe, the west has been proven to have financed these far right groups and to a lesser extent given them training, the real result america wants is a repeat of the georgia situation, they want the surrounding countries bordering on russia to join nato ,once that happens nato puts bases with nuclear missiles aimed at russia all around its borders.......that for any country is totally unacceptable, and once again the west has proved as in syria and libya they used al qaeda with no sense of hypocrisy as in the ukraine they are using fascists and neo nazis, putin need to stand firm and if its war it needs to be war.edit on 1-3-2014 by surfin4 because: revision

Here in my city people are now starting to gather in the city center to protest the Russian Declaration of war.
Just wondering if you have the ability to take photos or possibly a video of this new event?
I understand if you don't feel safe to do that, but you would be scooping any news source out there, also stay safe..

You see it like it is. Why the confusion around here. The west is just taking the piss by encircling Russia with nukes on their borders. Hey I'm Brit and support some of our government foreign policy but with Russia they and the other powers are just mental, Russia has its own sphere of influence and I'm all for them taking back their own backyard. Time to point missiles at London from Glasgow? New York targetted from Canada? Our foreign policy stinks regarding Moscow

I think Russia is putting NATO/UN in the same position the THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS was right before WW2(not warmongering here)...
If they respect the Budapest Memo,and act,it will most likely result in an all out war...
If they don't,they lose credibility and become obsolete....
Scary times we live in....
Recall the reasons for the US invasion of Grenada?

Well, yet Putin did what Obama didn't with Lybia... he consulted the government's legislative assembly on having greenlight for military action.
As of Saturday morning, the Russian Parliament has asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to recall Moscow’s Ambassador from the United States. This, as the Putin has been given authority by the Russian Parliament to use military force in response to government overthrow in Ukraine.

I'm pretty sure pro-Russian Ukrainians have called upon Russia to help them, I think its the western imposters that are accusing Russia of intervention.....I believe the Ukraine will split between East and West, The thing is will it be peaceful ?

Y'all are really caught up in the politics of it all. No one has ever thought, that these "leaders" are business men, FIRST? They're all connected. All business partners. We're the consumers eating up the B.S.!

lol so? not sure what you opinion of Obama is but mine is a cowardly schmuck who flexes his muscles by invading inferior countries.
Putin didnt win anything with Syria. Obama realised he had no backing from allies or the american people and had no choice. That just happened to suit Putin.

Do we know who is in charge of the US these days?
I don't think it is Obama, and I didn't think it was GW.

My take on this as an outsider is as others have mentioned. This seems to be an orchestrated destabilization by NGO's, big oil and billionaire inverters like Soros so they can grab control of Ukraine's resources. The IMF has already indicated that the "loans" will come with strict austerity conditions and everyone has seen what that did to southern Europe.
As you indicate you are in the west do you agree with this? To me it looks like you guys are being played by the bankers and the multinational corporations.
