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.

Quote: "Six pumps from Winchester, Eastleigh, St Mary’s, Redbridge, Alresford and Headquarters were called to a significant fire at the Boomtown festival in Winchester this afternoon (Friday 12 August). On arrival firefighters were faced with a large blaze involving approximately 80 vehicles, all of which were destroyed in the fire, but fortunately no injuries were reported. The Boomtique campsite next to the car park was evacuated as a precaution, but suffered no damage."
Note: Very similar to the 400+ cars that went up in flames while parked at a festival in Castelo de Vide (Portugal), mentioned in the 2016-08-03 update. That fire was the first time ever that 400+ cars had burned in one fire anywhere in the European Union...

Quote: "Despite calling in reinforcements, police still have not been able to catch any of the perpetrators."
Note: Maybe they can't catch any perpetrators because there aren't any, just cars bursting into flame, as has been happening all over the planet for some years now, though they're obviously a bit too dim-witted and unobservant in Sweden to have noticed that...
Quote: "'This kind of pace [of attacks] won’t be sustained indefinitely,' Southern Sweden Police information officer Calle Persson told the TT news agency, as cited by the Local."
Note: That's probably true - things will get worse until there are no more cars left that can burn and then there will be no more car fires. Problem solved!

He claims the flight attendant said she didn't smell anything, but later saw her being taken out on a stretcher, which he recorded video of and sent to Pittsburgh's Action News 4. He said he saw at least a dozen people get sick, including members of his family."

http://www.statesman.com/news/news/local/ems-search-for-missing-lake-travis-swimmer-shifts-/nsFWw/
Quote: "In an unrelated case, a woman having a medical issue was also rescued from the water by emergency crews."
Quote: "A Lake Travis Rescue firefighter who appeared to have experienced a medical episode during a water search operation is now in stable condition, Chief Robert Abbott said Friday night. The firefighter felt dizzy when he resurfaced after he dove into the lake looking for a missing swimmer, Abbott said. It is unclear what caused the episode, he said."
Note: So a missing swimmer, a firefighter has a 'medical episode' in the water looking for the missing swimmer AND a woman has a 'medical issue' in the water at that lake too. Yeah, I'd be staying away from that lake...
