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: "Two million bottles of wine are believed to have been destroyed in a huge warehouse fire in south west France. Almost 60 firefighters were sent to tackle the blaze, which broke out across storage facility buildings in the suburb of Gironde in Bordeaux around 3pm on Tuesday. Despite extinguishing the flames several hours later, a vast quantity of alcohol owned by the Sovex Grands Châteaux producer was consumed in the fire."
Quote: "The blaze came one day after the iconic, 850-year-old Notre Dame Cathedral was partially destroyed by a massive fire. The church’s spire and most of its roof went up in flames after an apparent electrical short-circuit."
Note: Two million bottles of wine in the fire, two million bottles of wine, take one out and pass it about, one million nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine bottles of wine in the fire!

2019-04-17 - Study suggests that Earth's climate is very sensitive to even relatively small variations in atmospheric CO2:
http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/5/4/eaav7337
http://desdemonadespair.net/2019/04/%EF%BB%BFfirst-successful-model-simulation-of-the-past-3-million-years-of-climate-change-our-results-imply-a-strong-sensitivity-of-the-earth-system-to-relatively-small-variations-in.html
Note: That means that the climate is even more sensitive to even smaller variations in atmospheric methane, since methane is a much stronger greenhouse gas than CO2, and even when methane breaks down, it turns into CO2, so you get a double-whammy with methane - a short burst of high-intensity heating when it's methane AND a much longer but less powerful impact after it turns into CO2...

http://home.bt.com/news/uk-news/extinction-rebellion-climate-protesters-to-target-heathrow-airport-11364356293271
Quote: "XR is demanding the government declare a climate and ecological emergency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025 and create a citizen's assembly of members of the public to lead on decisions to address climate change."
Note: Their hearts are in the right place, but they clearly don't understand just how bad our predicament is. If we reduce greenhouse gas emissions, that'll eliminate the protection afforded by 'global dimming', which will result in rapidly rising temperatures, which will massively increase greenhouse gas emissions from the oceans, from the burning of forests and human civilization and from melting permafrost. So reducing emissions might actually end the human race even faster than continuing to pollute, though continuing to pollute will ALSO end the human race, just a little slower. Either way, whatever we do or don't do, the human race's ability to survive on the surface of this planet is rapidly coming to an end...
