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: "Iceland had long been famed for its near-total absence of mosquitoes, thanks to cold winters and rugged nature. However, this week scientists confirmed the discovery of three mosquitoes in the country’s wild environment – the first documented appearance of such creatures outside laboratory or artificial conditions."
2025-10-20 - Microplastics found in Minnesota rivers and lakes in all samples tested:
http://minnesotareformer.com/briefs/report-found-microplastics-in-minnesota-rivers-lakes-in-all-samples-tested/
Note: No shock there. It's ubiquitous now. It's in everything you eat, everything you drink, every breath you take. It's contaminating the brains of babies before they're even born and it bio-accumulates across generations. And because of the breakdown lag, a veritable tsunami of micro/nanoplastics (MNPs) is heading into the environment and our brains over the next decades. In animal studies, MNPs damage the prefrontal cortex, so one should expect humans to suffer increasing damage to their prefrontal cortexes as well, resulting in escalating violence, especially among young men. The average human brain is already 0.5% plastic now, doubling in eight years. That's not counting 'dark plastic', too small for us to even detect with current technology, so we could already be at 1% plastic by mass in our brains, or more. If that doubling continues, and if 'dark plastic' is equal in amount to detectable plastic, then our brains could be 4% plastic by the year 2041. At 4% plastic by mass, the average person will be SERIOUSLY cognitively disabled by then, assuming they're even able to continue living. Pay attention to the already-rising rates of ADHD, ASD, autism, Parkinson's, early-onset Alzheimer's and early-onset dementia. We may be the last cognitively functioning generation of human beings on this planet...
