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.

2018-02-21 - Unknown odor hits coastal Point Forbin on the island of Trinidad:
http://www.trinidadexpress.com/20180222/news/probe-into-mystery-smell-in-point-fortin
Quote: "Point Fortin Mayor Abdon Mason said the source of strong odours emanating through different parts of the Borough of Point Fortin, is yet to be determined. Abdon said the odour was detected on Tuesday and since then every effort is being made to ascertain the cause and source."
Quote: "Inspections of the company's infrastructure in the area, particularly its pipeline network, were also undertaken. However, no leaks have been detected."
Note: It must have been a rotten egg odor if they were checking pipes for leaks...
2018-02-21 - Unknown 'smell of gas' reported in coastal Hull (Britain):
http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/engineers-investigating-smell-gas-reported-1247132
http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/hull-east-yorkshire-news/hull-smell-gas-1250090
Quote: "Police have said engineers are investigating after a 'smell of gas' across Hull on Wednesday evening. Humberside Police said they have had a number of people ringing up about the gas, which has been smelt in places across the city centre. In a tweet just after 8.30pm, they posted: 'Log 472 - We have had several reports regarding a smell of gas at various locations across Hull city centre.'"
Quote: "The source of a 'gas-like smell' sensed by numerous people in Hull on Wednesday remains a mystery. The odour was present across various parts of the city centre and its outskirts during the late afternoon and evening, with many saying it was unpleasant enough to make them feel sick. Northern Gas Networks has confirmed it received multiple calls about the issue but said that following investigations the smell had not been caused by any leak from its pipes. As a result, the origin of the smell remains officially unaccounted for."
