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.

http://kutv.com/news/local/destruction-from-utah-fires-up-significantly-in-2017
Quote: "This year's fire season in Utah is turning out be to be much more destructive than last year. According to the latest figures for the 2017 fire season, there has been a huge increase in the number of urban fires, acres burned and homes destroyed across the state..."
Note: Obviously it's not just Utah. The worst fires in California history this year, the biggest fires in BC history in Canada this year, the biggest wildfire in Kansas history this spring before fire season began, the deadliest fires in history by far in Portugal, a bizarre long-lasting fire in Greenland, fires burning across Siberia, the Amazon forest burning up in Brazil, massive coastal fires in Crimea and Chile, etc, etc. What's happening is a planetary extinction event, not a localized Utah problem...

2017-10-23 - Pyrosomes spreading as far north as Alaska:
http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/stories/2017/10/23_pyrosome_bloom.html
Quote: "Researchers at NOAA’s Alaska Fisheries Science Center are reporting a never-before-seen phenomenon in Alaska waters—an influx of strange organisms that resemble flattened, translucent sea pickles. It may sound like déjà vu. A similar story made headlines along the West Coast last summer, but this is a new situation for Alaska. Scientists call these jelly-like organisms pyrosomes. The creatures typically live in tropical waters around the world, occasionally emerging a little farther north in sub-tropical waters. But no one has ever recorded pyrosomes as far north as Alaska."

http://strangesounds.org/2017/10/us-nuclear-regulators-risk-radioactive-material-storage-fires-usa.html
Note: All of these places will eventually degrade and release huge amounts of radiation. These facilities, and there are many, require significant amounts of energy and resources and manpower to maintain. At some point there won't be enough people left alive to do that. As soon as there are too few people left alive to deal with these places, radiation will spew all over the planet. Maybe we could proactively create robots to maintain these places after there are too few people alive to do it, but why bother? To save some weeds, bugs, rats, jellyfish, sea lice and bacteria from the radiation?

https://www.sott.net/article/365339-Theres-a-new-type-of-diabetes-thats-being-misdiagnosed-as-Type-II
Type 3c diabetes is caused by damage to the pancreas from inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis), tumours of the pancreas, or pancreatic surgery.
This type of damage to the pancreas not only impairs the organ's ability to produce insulin but also to produce the proteins needed to digest food (digestive enzymes) and other hormones.

"It's A Huge Story": China Launching "Petroyuan" In Two Months
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2017/10/meet-petroyuan.html
[as we learned from Ponzi World]
according to Adam Levinson, of hedge fund manager Graticule Asset Management Asia,
Small market declines could escalate quickly,
“You don’t know when an event or an issue is going to present itself,” he said.
“But when it does, the nature of the volatility construct in markets today is such that if you have a modest correction it will turn into a much more severe one in a short period of time, because of the entrenched structural short-selling of volatility.

Hillary Clinton and the "Trump Dossier"
Hillary Clinton Lied, Paid For "Trump Dossier
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2017/10/hillary-clinton-and-trump-dossier.html
What was previously widely suspected has now been confirmed. In its latest bombshell report that - for once - doesn’t include some nefarious allegations of wrongdoing or incompetence involving President Donald Trump or members of his administration, the Washington Post reported Tuesday that the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign jointly financed the creation of the infamous “Trump dossier," which helped inspire the launch of the floundering investigations into whether the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians.

"It was a Black Swan event"
The problem with artificially suppressed volatility is that it doesn't give markets a chance to shake out the weak hands and build support levels below the market. As the market climbs asymptotically, gamblers are forced to chase momentum at all price levels, leaving no chance to build a base. On the downside, the avalanche has nothing to stop it. [more]

Heavy ashfall has already contaminated water supplies on nearby islands, but since the area is a no-fly-zone, residents will need to wait a while before fresh water reaches all of them. [more]

Anger Flares over EPA’s Perceived Science Censorship
http://www.the-scientist.com/?articles.view/articleNo/50712/title/Anger-Flares-over-EPA-s-Perceived-Science-Censorship-/
Protests have erupted in Rhode Island following the decision of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to keep three of its scientists from speaking at an event about the future of a local estuary in response to climate change.
The 30 or so protesters gathered angrily in Providence with signs including “Un-gag the EPA” and “Science not Silence,” according to the Associated Press. The decision was condemned by researchers as well as Democratic members of Congress. Rhode Island’s senior senator, Jack Reed, told the Washington Post on Monday: “This type of political interference, or scientific censorship—whatever you want to call it—is ill-advised and does a real disservice to the American public and public health.” [more]
