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.

2013-07-08 - Porch bursts into flame, fire spreads to woman, at home in Sparta (New Jersey), woman seriously burned:
http://www.dailyrecord.com/article/20130709/NJNEWS/307090037/Sparta-woman-critical-condition-after-fire-her-homehttp://www.nj.com/sussex-county/index.ssf/2013/07/sparta_woman_found_on_her_porch_with_third-degree_burns_all_over_her_body_police_said.html
Quote: "Next to the porch, lying on the ground, the rescue workers found Polny, the homeowner, Beebe said. Her clothes had been completely burned off her body, and she had third-degree burns to her head, face, torso, arms and legs, he added. She was unable to tell rescue workers what happened, because of the severity of her injuries..."
Note: There were candles on the porch, and a small fire, and this woman, charred. So, maybe some hydrogen sulfide and methane blew by, knocked her unconscious, ignited via the candles, started this fire, and scorched the clothes off this woman while she was unconscious. This story kinda reminds me of the woman found burned to death on a porch swing at her trailer in West Frankfort (Illinois) in February 2012...

http://www.ulladullatimes.com.au/story/1625847/arson-and-bad-luck-see-three-cars-burnt-in-four-hours/
Note: First car was being driven when it burst into flame. Second car burst into flame while parked and the fire damaged an adjacent car too. They suspect arson there, as usual, but as is usually the case these days, they have no evidence of that other than that it was a parked car. You'd think from the title that they were sure the second fire was arson, but in the story you see that's not so, that it's merely suspected. They can't - yet - comprehend that vehicles are just going up in flames by themselves. Soon enough, that fact will be inescapably obvious...

http://www.dailyrecord.com/article/20130708/NJNEWS/307080029/1005/
Quote: "The car started on fire around the front driver-side wheel well..."
Note: Hydrogen sulfide is being absorbed by tire rubber and brake pads. Then when brakes are applied, an abnormal amount of heat is generated, since hydrogen sulfide burns very hot. Then bad things can happen: tires ignite or explode, brakes burn out or ignite, fluid lines rupture, the entire vehicle goes up in flames, or all of the above. This problem is worse for massive vehicles because they have more tire rubber, bigger brake pads and require more friction to slow, but no vehicle is immune...

I bet they did, which means electrified copper, even without transformers or switchboards. Also, that cop in the picture looks scary!

2013-07-08 - Natural gas - e.g. methane - leaking into the Gulf of Mexico:

http://enenews.com/wsj-blow-out-in-gulf-of-mexico-loss-of-well-control-event-reported-large-oil-sheen-on-surface-gas-flowing-into-sea
Note: The ocean floors are littered with craters from previous methane eruptions that have occurred in eons past. It appears that we are in such a time now, so the methane - and probably oil too - is going to come out whether we have anything to do with it or not. The question is, do we try and tap the gas/oil and relieve pressure here and there in order to achieve some modest level of control over things or do we just let things run amok in totally uncontrolled fashion? The latter is not apt to prove very conducive to human survival. The former...I dunno. Human civilization is small compared to the scope of the problem, but we can probably alleviate the pain at least a little bit, here and there.
