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.

Witnesses say workers were digging a well when they hit a natural gas pocket. Seminole Creek Farm owner Scott Seal said three workers with Gentry Drilling Inc. were airlifted to UAB Hospital with burn injuries. A crew from Northwest Alabama Gas is on the scene. General manager Heath Reed said they've never had a situation like this and don't know if they can help."

At first the men didn't know they struck the pocket. It wasn't until one tried to weld a cracked control rod and the spark created a fireball."

http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-38686626
Quote: "The crack that looks set to spawn a giant iceberg in the Antarctic has continued to spread. The rift in the Larsen C Ice Shelf has grown a further 10km since 1 January.

That would make it one of the biggest icebergs ever recorded, according to researchers at Swansea and Aberystwyth universities, and the British Antarctic Survey."

Very interesting analysis, which corroborates what I've been saying about the impossibility of rebuilding the crumbling infrastructure of the US and other developed countries. There is one essential element not discussed here, and that is the role of energy. It's important to see that most of the infrastructure in developed countries was built when the net energy of fossil fuels was still high. Now that it's much lower and declining fast, repairing and replacing all deteriorated infrastructure is impossible. -- RF

50 doomiest stories of 2016

[begins]
For a long time, Desdemona has feared that when the effects of global warming become obvious to everyone, governments will shut down our Earth observation science, so that collectively, the human species can bury its head in the sand.
The year 2016 saw huge strides toward this goal of dismantling science and blinding us all. The May government in the UK and the Turnbull government in Australia defunded their climate science research programs. In the U.S., the Trump team declared that they are seeking quick ways of withdrawing from the Paris agreement on climate change, and that NASA Earth science will be defunded. Scientists undertook a desperate effort to copy public climate data from government servers, in the event that Trump’s climate denialists order its destruction.

Mount Paektu supervolcano in North Korea is set to erupt and cause a global catastrophe
http://strangesounds.org/2017/01/mount-paektu-supervolcano-eruption-global-catastrophe-video.html
The active volcano is responsible for one of the deadliest eruptions in human history and experts believe history is about to repeat itself.
Mount Paektu once underwent one of the most devastating eruptions in history in 946 AD when it erupted so powerfully that it formed a five kilometre caldera at its summit and produced enough ash that it even showered Japan – almost 1,100km away. [more; nyaaah-aaaaaah (ala The 3 Stooges)]

We’ve already set off changes that will probably last for tens of thousands of years. But we can act to reduce the damage and to mitigate a pretty serious response by the global climate system.
