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.

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas and it will tend to accumulate in low-lying areas like underground facilities, basements, valleys, ravines, canyons, ditches, canals, streams, marshes, swamps, rivers, lakes, ponds, quays, seas, coasts, etc. It is also reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like underground electrical infrastructure, wiring in vehicles and homes, etc. A rising number of events just like this have been afflicting cities and towns all over, but more on or near coasts or major bodies of water...

Quote: "The two men were pulled out - one would die at the hospital - and minutes later an eerie scene as 13 first responders started showing symptoms. 'They started getting sick, you started to see them sweating profusely, they started turning red, their eyes swelling shut, started vomiting,' said Assistant Chief Matt Mason. Even standing outside the building - deputies, paramedics and firefighters were poisoned by odorless carbon monoxide gas. Mason said gas monitors were reading levels more than thirty times the amount considered lethal."
Quote: "Officials speculate the gas may have come for a leak in a building refrigeration unit, or possibly fumes from vehicles in or just outside of the building."
Note: The carbon monoxide may have come from outside, from the atmosphere, not from the plant. There was an incident in Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania) last October, where an entire neighborhood's carbon monoxide alarms went off inside homes, and when responders showed up, the carbon monoxide levels were higher OUTSIDE the homes than they were INSIDE, meaning that that cloud of carbon monoxide blew in from the atmosphere. This event was mentioned in the 2012-10-31 update and they said it was caused by a 'weather anomaly'. As the hydrogen sulfide and methane in the atmosphere burns, that burning will produce carbon monoxide, just as incomplete burning of natural gas releases carbon monoxide in homes sometimes. Then those invisible odorless clouds of carbon monoxide will blow around the atmosphere and when they hit a populated area, fatalities may very well result, as with this case...
2013-08-03 - Neighborhood complains that 'landfill odor' is sickening them, near Fort Dodge (Iowa):

Quote: "Robert Pingel Jr. says he and his neighbors think their headaches, sore throats and occasional burning sensation in their eyes are linked to the landfill wastewater being piped through area sanitary sewers. He said the health problems and the smell didn't exist until the North Central Iowa Regional Solid Waste Agency started pumping the wastewater, called leachate, through the area."
Note: The company has checked their stuff, and they haven't found a problem. Maybe the problem is that the water is getting contaminated from the atmosphere or from belowground, and doesn't have anything to do with the company. What do they mean by 'landfill odor'? Rotten egg smell? Hmmm. If they're smelling hydrogen sulfide then it's certainly not near lethal levels (or they wouldn't smell it), but the symptoms - they may suffer some long-term damage, neurological damage, kidney problems, etc.
