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: "Authorities said about 30 tractor-trailers, as well as fuel and propane tanks, burned. Several vehicles parked on the other side of a fence also caught fire."
Quote: "Among the vehicles that affected were tow trucks, box trucks, 18-wheelers and at least one boat. Officials have not specified exactly how many vehicles were affected, but according to reports, possibly two dozen cars and about 10 or 11 tractor trailers were destroyed."
Note: About 6 miles from the coast. From what I could see, the latter quote is more accurate. Not 30 big rigs, but more like 10 or so, plus a bunch of other trucks and semi trailers, plus many smaller vehicles - lots of cars, SUVs, at least one minibus. Didn't see the boat but the smoke blotted out visibility pretty quickly, so I'll take their word on that. These are the 242nd, 243rd and 244th boats/ships to burn/explode in 2017, and these are the 568th through 577th tractors/tankers/semis to burn/explode in 2017...

Quote: "Officers ran to the front of the building not knowing what the emergency was and encountered an unconscious bleeding man with facial trauma lying on the ground in front of the building, Dachisen said. Sgt. James Cavezza, Sgt. Sean Plumstead, and Detective Paul Papamarkos immediately assessed the patient – a 22-year-old man – and called for an ambulance and paramedics, Dachisen said. While checking the patient, he stopped breathing and went into cardiac arrest, Dachisen said."
Quote: "Dachisen, who said the man suffered the medical episode outside the public safety building by chance, lauded the dozen first responders who contributed to saving the 22-year-old man’s life."
Quote: "This could have been a tragic story if the medical episode occurred where no one witnessed it."
Note: Most of the time this IS happening where no one is around to witness it...

U.N. says low-carbon economy not a 'pipe dream'
It probably looks that way at this time, when renewables are still piggybacked onto the fossil-fuel energy system. But what happens when fossil fuels are taken out of the equation? Any energy system must satisfy three requirements. (1) It must be self-sustaining. In other words, it must pay its own energy production costs. Biofuels like ethanol immediately fail even this first test because fossil fuels are needed for production. (2) It must be self-replicating. The system must be able to "reproduce" the machinery, tools, and facilities that are needed for energy production. (3) It must supply surplus energy to society. After satisfying requirements one and two, the system must still have a large energy surplus that it can supply to the socioeconomic system. Fossil fuels have passed all three tests with flying colors, but it is highly unlikely that renewables can do the same. Even renewable energy guru Richard Heinberg admits that renewable energy will not support economic growth. And without growth, the economy begins to collapse. Even a cursory examination of the implications shows that a world running on renewable energy would be much different from what we have now. Within a generation or two (if we're lucky) we would devolve back to a 17th-century lifestyle. So to conclude, a low-carbon economy is not a pipe dream, but that economy will be much different from what we have now, and much different from what the UN conceives. And it would definitely not support the world's current population. -- RF

Ten people have caught the MERS coronavirus after an outbreak in a haemodialysis unit in a hospital in Saudi Arabia, the World Health Organization said on Tuesday, without giving details of how the virus was able to spread within the hospital.
The potentially fatal Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) is thought to be carried by camels and comes from the same family as the coronavirus that caused China's deadly Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak in 2003. [more]
Bumper crop of acorns could put U.S. on brink of Lyme disease epidemic
https://www.sott.net/article/347305-Bumper-crop-of-acorns-could-put-US-on-brink-of-Lyme-disease-epidemic
A bumper crop of acorns could be putting the US on the brink of an unprecedented outbreak of Lyme disease, experts warn.
An estimated 300,000 Americans are diagnosed with Lyme disease each year, but the illness is now on track to being the worst in 2017, according to Rick Ostfeld, a disease ecologist at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, New York.
The acorn surge means mouse populations will climb — giving rise to more disease-carrying ticks.
"We predict the mice population based on the acorns and we predict infected nymph ticks with the mice numbers. Each step has a one-year lag," Ostfeld told New Scientist magazine. [more]
