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.

2020-07-07 - ‘Pink ice’ in the Alps sparks global warming fears:
http://www.yahoo.com/news/pink-ice-alps-154728854.html
http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/alps-pink-snow-ice-melting-italy-climate-change-global-warming-a9603546.html
http://www.dw.com/en/italys-melting-glaciers-face-new-threat-pink-ice/a-54077818
Quote: "Mysterious pink ice in the Alps has sparked fears that it could worsen the effects of climate change, experts have warned. The ice is thought to be caused by the algae, which is similar to plants found in Greenland and at Earth’s poles."
Note: When they first started reporting algae spreading across snow and darkening it in Antarctica a few years ago, I said then that I thought this was one of those problems where once you see it happening, you will see it happen again and again and it will get worse. And not only does this algae prefer warmer temps, but by changing the albedo of the planet, it has the ability to raise global temps itself. The darker the snow, the faster it melts, and the less snow, the warmer things get, which grows more algae, which melts more snow, which makes things yet warmer, and on and on it goes. This is another facet of the runaway climatic train that is going result in the extermination of the human race...

http://romesentinel.com/stories/aggressive-seaweed-smothers-one-of-worlds-most-remote-reefs,100510
Quote: "Researchers say a recently discovered species of seaweed is killing large patches of coral on once-pristine reefs and is rapidly spreading across one of the most remote and protected ocean environments on earth. A study from the University of Hawaii and others says the seaweed is spreading more rapidly than anything they've seen in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, a nature reserve that stretches more than 1,300 miles north of the main Hawaiian Islands."
Quote: "'This is a highly destructive seaweed with the potential to overgrow entire reefs,' said biologist Heather Spalding, a study co-author and longtime Hawaii algae researcher."
Quote: "Last summer, they returned to find algae had taken over huge areas of the reef – in some areas covering 'everything, as far as the eye could see' – with seaweed nearly 8 inches (20 centimeters) thick, said Spalding, who was among the divers there. 'Everything underneath of it was dead,' she said."

At least one powerful tornado damaged farms, left one person dead and two others injured in western Minnesota as severe storms moved across parts of the Midwest, authorities said.
A 30-year-old man was killed near Dalton when a twister destroyed a large garage in which he was working Wednesday evening, said Otter Tail County Sheriff's Lt. Keith Van Dyke.
Two others suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to a hospital, Van Dyke said. He did not know where or how the two were injured.
At least three farmsteads were hit, and one of those farmhouses was flattened, said meteorologist Vince Godon with the National Weather Service in Grand Forks, N.D.
The tornado that caused the fatality is believed to be at least in the EF-3 category, with winds of 136-165 mph, the weather service said. It left a 6- to 9-mile trail of damage as it roared northeast. [more; daaaamn]

Current global temperature rises in the range of ~ +1.19 ± 0.13 °C (Northern Hemisphere) and higher in the Arctic are consistent with this pattern, leading to the build-up of ice melt pools south of Greenland and around Antarctica. The growth of these pools is likely to progress toward large-scale to a global stadial, inducing differential warming and cooling effects leading to major weather disruptions and storminess, possibly analogous to the Younger dryas and Laurentian melt events.

Emergency crews had to remove a pickup truck from a massive sinkhole (15 feet long and 10 feet deep) on Lindell Boulevard, St. Louis, Wednesday morning, after the driver went through barriers and crashed.
There were two people inside the truck, but neither were injured in the crash.
The driver was looking up directions on his GPS and missed the barriers, and didn’t know the sinkhole was there.
