Event Update For 2017-08-23

http://jumpingjackflashhypothesis.blogspot.com/2012/02/jumping-jack-flash-hypothesis-its-gas.html

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.

2017-08-23 - College student, woman, 20, dies in the wee hours on mountain hike near Conundrum Hot Springs (Colorado):
http://nypost.com/2017/08/22/altitude-sickness-kills-college-student-on-hiking-trip/
http://www.aspentimes.com/news/mother-daughter-died-of-acute-altitude-sickness-on-conundrum-trail/
http://www.timesherald.com/article/JR/20170824/NEWS/170829906

Note: Seems rather low in altitude to die of altitude sickness. However, it's possible. We're in planetary oxygen overshoot now. The lifeforms that produce oxygen (trees, rainforests, phytoplankton, etc) have been dying off much worse than the creatures that consume oxygen, for decades, so atmospheric oxygen levels are in decline - there's an atmospheric oxygen imbalance. All the raging fires are consuming oxygen too, and those are growing in ferocity and frequency all around the planet. But because oxygen is a heavier-than-air gas, the oxygen levels will decline most and first from the upper atmosphere, with hypoxic conditions working their way down closer to the ground as time goes on. That may be the final end-game for anyone who can survive the poisoning and fires and lack of food and cancer-inducing levels of UV and climate extremes and stuff for long enough: they'll die gasping for oxygen. The symptoms could also have been hydrogen sulfide poisoning though, and since A) they're not checking for that, and B) it disappears within the human body within hours and they couldn't have autopsied her that fast, nobody will ever know for sure what killed this woman...
