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.

Note: Maybe he lost consciousness and just lay there until dead. Same thing as the people losing consciousness in water and then drowning, or the people losing consciousness while driving and then smashing into trees or walls or ponds. Where you are and what you're doing at the time will often determine whether you live or die when you lose consciousness, and anyone can lose consciousness at any time now, or drop dead for that matter. The same thing will happen in the summer too, with people losing consciousness and then baking to death in the heat...

Earth's thermostat discovered in rocks: Regulates planet and helps recover from ice ages
https://www.sott.net/article/372908-Earths-thermostat-discovered-in-rocks-Regulates-planet-and-helps-recover-from-ice-ages
[notice SOTT publishes this but still believes an Ice Age is due]
British scientists say they've discovered that the preeminent mechanism that allows the Earth to recover from global cooling events is linked to the weathering of rocks. Rocks dissolve by rain and river water during the weathering process, and carbon dioxide is taken from the atmosphere to carbon-rich rocks in nearby waterways. When weathering runs its course, there's a decrease in carbon dioxide on our planet.
The researchers examined rocks from about 445 million years ago, which matches out to the second largest extinction period in the planet's history. Using samples from Canada and Scotland, the rocks showed that the global chemical weathering rate declined, which meant less carbon dioxide was removed and the climate was able to recover from the cool temperature.

The National Security Agency is losing its top talent at a worrisome rate as highly skilled personnel, some disillusioned with the spy service's leadership and an unpopular reorganization, take higher-paying, more flexible jobs in the private sector.
Since 2015, the NSA has lost several hundred hackers, engineers and data scientists, according to current and former U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter. The potential impact on national security is significant, they said. [more]

Supply Side Ponzinomics: Betting On Proven Failure
http://ponziworld.blogspot.com/2018/01/supply-side-ponzinomics-betting-on.html
Trump's tax cut for the ultra-wealthy is human history's largest bull trap
Republicans are looking to create broad-based prosperity by taking a policy that has generated broad-based poverty for 37 years, to level '11'. It makes perfect sense to anyone with an IQ of 0 or lower.
Giving massive tax cuts to the bailout class on the theory that the bread crumbs will fall onto the heads of the indolent masses, has been tried twice before already. Each iteration leading to more job insecurity, more financial insecurity, and far more debt. Nevertheless, here they go again. It never once occurs to any of them that only by directly increasing the incomes of the middle class, can the roller coaster ride to penury end. But these are not bright people. They're serial failures, and their main skill is conning idiots.
The locus of imminent failure for this third iteration of the experiment of course comes on the monetary policy side. As the term "inflation" makes its way into the Wall Street lexicon, the bond market and even the dullards in the Fed begin to take notice. Even though there is actually no broad-based inflation, especially not in wages; however any minor lift in wages is seen as a threat to the temple of debt. Under the *free trade* race to the bottom, real wages can fall continuously, but they can never rise. Lest they pose a threat to corporate profit margins.
Therefore, working in close collaboration, the Fed and Republicans are generating insolvency for the U.S. middle class
