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: "In a surreal New Year’s Eve tableau Thursday in Dubai, thousands watched an elaborate fireworks display erupt from the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. Just a short distance away, another of the city’s huge towers, the nearly 1,000 foot tall Address Hotel, was engulfed in flame."
Quote: "The five-star hotel is near the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. At least one person suffered a heart attack from the smoke and over-crowding during evacuation, and 14 suffered minor injuries."
Note: The 'Marina Torch' high-rise burned in Dubai this year, mentioned in the 2015-02-20 update. The 'Marina Pinnacle' high-rise burned in Dubai this year, mentioned in the 2015-05-24 update. The 'Regal Tower' high-rise burned in Dubai this year, mentioned in the 2015-11-25 update. And in nearby coastal Sharjah, a high-rise residential building burned this year, mentioned in the 2015-10-01 update. It's not just high-rises burning on the coast in the UAE though, but cars (including multiple Lamborghinis), trucks, warehouses, recycling facilities, you name it. Because high-rise fires have becomes such a problem in recent times, the government there recently ordered 20 high-tech jetpacks for firefighters in Dubai, to use to fight such fires, mentioned in the 2015-11-12 update...

Quote: "The fire was reported at 215 Charles St. around 6 a.m., and started as a car fire. 'It was a car fire in the garage. Multiple cars caught on fire in the parking garage beneath the building. Everybody's evacuated,' said Bridgeport Assistant Fire Chief Michael Calderoni."
Quote: "The fire appears to have started in the garage, where several cars were burning under the building, and several residents said they woke up to find smoke and hear booms from below."
Quote: "A fast-moving blaze that ignited early Thursday left about 120 people homeless, creating a temporary housing crisis that’s shaping up as one of the worst in the state’s history."
Note: Here's a Google Maps link of the area. So a car ignited and caused what may be the worst housing crisis in Connecticut history. That's all it takes - one person not taking the problem seriously, parking a vehicle near or under an apartment building and boom, 120 people are now homeless and have lost everything...

http://lubbockonline.com/local-news/2015-12-30/oil-field-odorant-permeating-through-lubbock-prompts-calls-about-suspected-gas
Note: Even if it IS mercaptan, mercaptan is essentially the same as hydrogen sulfide: flammable, poisonous, neurotoxic. As per this CDC document: "Because no useful data on acute inhalation toxicity are available on which to base the IDLH for methyl mercaptan, the chosen IDLH is based on an analogy with hydrogen sulfide. ACGIH [1971] reported that some investigators show toxicities of the same magnitude for hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan [Ljunggren and Norberg 1943]; others indicate that the toxicity of methyl mercaptan is somewhat less than that of hydrogen sulfide [DeRekowski 1893; Frankel 1921]." So yeah, they're being hit by poison gas, and that's certainly cause for concern if you're one of those wanna-stay-alive kind of people. Same thing with the rotten egg odor around that giant gas leak near Porter Ranch (California)...
