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.

http://www.chronicle-independent.com/section/43/article/48051/
Quote: "The Kershaw County Coroner's office says a five-year-old boy died after the car he'd been left in caught fire."
Quote: "West says the incident happened outside a home in the county around 10:53 a.m. Wednesday, when the mother went to another person's house. While she was inside, she left her three children in her car with the vehicle running and the air conditioning on. Somehow, though, the car caught fire, and two of the children were able to get out and run inside to get help from their mother. The mom opened the back hatch of the car, and began removing Easton from his car seat. She was able to get the child out, but at that point, West said the child had burns on 75 percent of his body. He was taken to the Augusta Burn Center for treatment, but eventually succumbed to his injuries. West says the mom received burns to her arms from trying to get her child out of the vehicle."

[sorry fellas, your study is a big waste of time, too simplified and is WAY off on the time-line, all because it doesn't take into account the various "knock-on" effects of said temperature rise (like the ability to GROW FOOD that we're already seeing)]

Tony Thomas finds an academic (Matthew Liao) who suggests that given the climate change risk it might be more ethical to shrink our kids by 6 inches, or drug people with oxytoxin to make them more compliant. Jo Nova thinks it might be more ethical to fund skeptical scientists instead of unskeptical ones and figure out whether a man-made disaster is actually coming before we start shrinking kids.
Marvel that Matthew Liao is still in his job five years after he released this paper despite his apparent lack of rigor, research and ... ethics. Is he government funded? Hard to say, there's no mention of any funding on the paper, or for his role as Arthur Zitrin Chair of Bioethics. [more]
