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.

Another eye-opening report, Jonny. Fascinating from top to bottom.

Coastal Cities, Critical Infrastructure Unprepared to Face the Rising Tides of Climate Change
https://robertscribbler.com/2016/07/08/coastal-cities-critical-infrastructure-unprepared-to-face-the-rising-tides-of-climate-change/
Civitas — the latin word for city and the root word for civilization. Civilization, in other words, is a collection of component cities. And, by extension, any major threat to a large number of cities is a threat to civilization itself. Such is the case with human-forced climate change.
[Right, Robert. But then you still think that somehow it's all going to be okay? HOW?]
3 Dead, over 100 injured after Typhoon Nepartak clobbers Taiwan streets – ‘look like a bomb has gone off’
https://theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com/2016/07/09/3-dead-over-100-injured-after-typhoon-nepartak-clobbers-taiwan-streets-look-like-a-bomb-has-gone-off/
Storm trackers rode out the western half of the typhoon as it arrived in Taiwan during the overnight hours and into Friday morning, and reported damage to buildings and numerous trees downed by the massive storm.
Taiwanese authorities reported that more than 15,400 people have been evacuated from 14 counties and cities. About 520,000 households were affected by power cuts, predominately in Pingtung and Taitung counties, according to TaiPower. Taiwan’s Central Emergency Operations Center spokesman Li Wei-sen told AP that more than 500 domestic and international flights have been canceled and others were delayed.
