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.

2013-08-22 - Underground electrical explosions and fires torch cars, sicken 5 people, in coastal Queens (New York):

Quote: "Fire officials say two manhole fires in Queens caused minor injuries to five people and heavily charred two vehicles parked nearby. Report of the fires came in at 12:38 a.m. Thursday at the intersection of 75th Street and 88th Avenue in the Woodside section. Con Edison spokesman Allan Drury said the fire resulted from 'a failure of underground electrical delivery equipment.'"
Quote: "Residents said they were startled out of their beds by a loud 'boom.'"
Note: Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas and will seek out low-lying areas like underground facilities, basements, lakes, ponds, streams, canyons, valleys, ditches, etc. It is also reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like that used in electrical infrastructure, wiring in vehicles, doorbell wires, lighting fixture wiring on porches, etc. There have been many underground explosions and fires this past year or so and this problem looks certain to worsen...

Quote: "More than 40 firefighters tackled the first blaze, which involved household waste products, on 3 August."
Quote: "This fire is in a different location to the previous one and they are not thought to be linked. This fire is predominantly of wood and wood chippings."
Note: Just because they don't see the link doesn't mean there isn't one. All flammable absorbent materials are absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane and spontaneously combusting, including generic trash, wood, cardboard, paper, dried brush, dead trees, hay, straw, cloth, cotton, upholstery stuffing, etc.

2013-08-22 - Lawrence (Kansas) considering banning couches on porches:
http://www2.ljworld.com/weblogs/town_talk/2013/aug/22/city-to-consider-banning-couches-on-porc/
Quote: "At the request of the Lawrence fire department, city officials have drafted an ordinance that would ban couches and all other types of upholstered furniture from porches and patios. Lawn chairs and other types of furniture specifically made for the outdoors would continue to be legal."
Quote: "A common question was why a couch on a porch is any more flammable than a couch inside a living room. The fire department's memo doesn't address that subject..."
Note: Upholstered furniture is made of flammable absorbent materials and held together with nails, screws and/or staples, which rust. Hydrogen sulfide and methane will be absorbed by the flammable absorbent materials then when any hydrogen sulfide finds some rusty iron/steel, there will be sparking and sizzling and the furniture will ignite. Obviously, outdoor furniture will be more exposed to whatever's blowing around in the atmosphere than indoor furniture. So this ban could save lives and homes and firefighting resources...
