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: "Survivors of the dictatorship's brutal regime say leader Kim Jong Un and other authorities are demanding human feces to help farms in the country to continue delivering crops."
Human waste (raw) makes AWFUL fertilizer; unless it's processed it can carry disease, drugs and be too "hot" for plants to use (same as raw horse or chicken manure). The Amish use processed city sludge on their fields (and you can tell, just driving by!) - the smell dissipates after a few days (since they plow it into the soil).

Earth just had its hottest month yet, and the record-shattering warmth shows no signs of stopping.
According to NASA, global average surface temperatures during July were 0.84 degrees Celsius, or 1.51 degrees Fahrenheit, above average. This beats all previous Julys, with July 2011 coming in second at 0.74 degrees Celsius above average.

Louisiana's downpour is being called a "classic signal of climate change" because of its extreme nature. And there's a good reason: In just 12 hours, the state saw as much rainfall as it should during a typical three-month hurricane season.
Looked at another way, some parts of Louisiana experienced a downpour of an intensity that should occur only once every 500 years.

"That's a pretty intimidating sight when you see a bear, it's like 400 lbs., and it's running after you,"
North Shore resident Christopher Lubell says he's "fortunate I'm still in one piece" after coming within metres of a large black bear while out for his morning jog in Capilano River Regional Park Monday morning. Lubell said the animal approached and chased him for more than a kilometre.
"That's a pretty intimidating sight when you see a bear, it's like 400 lbs., and it's running after you," Lubell told CTV Vancouver.
His first instinct was to run, but Lubell says the animal pursued him and came so close, it started to sniff around him. [yeah, you ain't outrunnin' no BEAR, aight?!]
That's when Lubell changed his tactic. "I just kept on yelling, every time it came close to me and eventually it wouldn't come as close to me," he said. "It would just stop in the middle of the trail and kind of look off to the side."
Other hikers heard Lubell yelling and called 911. Within minutes, conservation officers and RCMP were on the trails. However, they couldn't locate the bear.
The incident comes just days after a 10-year-old girl was hospitalized after being attacked by a black bear while on a hiking trail in Port Coquitlam, B.C. In that incident, the girl's father and others were able to successfully fight off the bear with rocks and sticks.

Eek, another face-eater incident, near coastal Tequesta (Florida):
ReplyDeletehttp://wjla.com/news/nation-world/suspect-in-double-homicide-was-found-on-top-of-victim-biting-his-face-sheriff
Quote: "The sheriff said Harrouff was biting the victim on the face, removing the victim's flesh with his teeth. It took multiple deputies, use of a stun gun, and a K-9 to pry Harrouff off his helpless victim. Sheriff Synder said the Harrouff was ‘grunting and growling,’ and ‘making animal noises’ while they restrained him."
Sounds remarkably like the original face-eater incident, which occurred on a causeway on the coast in Florida, and they tested that man for drugs and found nothing. He also growled and couldn't speak (indicative of damage to speech center of brain) and it took at least six bullets to put him down.
