    1. Including any evidence of a past runaway climate (caused by positive feedbacks) like the catastrophists say is going to kill us all if we restore the CO2 level to half of what it was 50 million years ago. Or 100 million years ago. Or 200 million years ago.

      Miraculously, the aerosols injected into the upper atmosphere caused warming that time (instead of the cooling observed after all major volcanic events in the last couple of centuries). Who knew?

      1. The sudden shift to a warmer, wetter climate proved deadly for many genera and species …

        Extinction Rebellion are all creaming their jeans over this newest Extinction event! We’re all gonna dieeeeeeee!!! Aiiiieeeeeee!!!! Just like those old genera and species

      2. CM, and that was my first take, a new push non goreBULLwarming. Funny how “nuclear” winters always cool things down, but that time they heated things up. I guess rioting is NOT working well enough!

  3. Silly, the earth was formed in 4004 BC.

    You are spending too much time in the hip pocket of Big Evolution. They control the Illuminati and fund Soros. BE has direct input on the Gates Microchip (but strangely enough not the Musk implant).

    1. ” Silly, the earth was formed in 4004 BC.”

      I remember hearing that.

      But remind me again – was that the start of the turdo bacillus, or the sprouting of the first Obammy?

    2. True, but God, being the rebel that he is, made everything look older. Isn’t this the greatest practical joke ever, he made everything 10,000 years ago, at exactly the state of nuclear decay to make the fools think the planet is 4.5 billion years old.

      What a Joker!

  4. Um…this is a journalist rediscovering old stuff. It has long been proposed that there were multiple mass extinction events in this period. The clue is here “Through analysis of both paleontological assemblages and geological evidence, researchers confirmed that biodiversity declines coincided”. Old idea some new data on it.

    1. I’m curious. Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson both suggest there was a mass extinction event 12,800 years ago.
      As a Geologist…Yay…Nay…Possible?

      1. I couldn’t tell you, I wasn’t there then and it depends on where “there” is. But it is possible. I’ve dealt with stuff from 2.8 billion years ago (before the Bible), stuff from about a billion years ago and from the Devonian through to the late Cretaceous, in my Geological travels in this country. Mining and oil and gas exploration was my field, not research. North America only. It’s a big file, with most of us focusing on what pays the bills most times. A clue for you… check the local river banks for bodies. A suggestion could be some massive eruption(s) occurred that affected the climate locally to even wider areas. Wouldn’t surprise me. Even check impact crater dates for the affected area(s), if any. Geology is mostly detective work, observation is a biggie. Kick a few ant hills on your hikes. Those guys dig up the strangest things from two feet down. My best find was eating lunch one day in NW Ontario, kicked some moss below my feet and exposed a 12″ vein of pure Galena (Pb), Sphalerite (Zn) and Copper Ni sufides (Pyrite, Pyrohtite). A hundred feet in length before disappearing into the lake. Mining grades, too. We sampled it. Too far from a road to be developed, like 300 miles or so. Maybe in 2150 AD.

  7. Not just the fossil record. Just open your eyes and look.

    Layers

    If there were no (climate or other) change, there would not be any layers here – just a uniform wall of rock from bottom to top. Each of these layers have a story about climate or some other (geologic, astronomic) change that has happened. And the time between layers is measured in millions of years.

    And by the way, it is larch (season change) time again.

  8. Oh no, say it isn’t so. We are real busy trying to kill ourselves off with a non existent plague, with an insane desire to freeze to death without fossil fuels. Yep we are trying real hard to do to ourselves what the dinos experienced by nature. We don’t don’t deserve to survive.

  9. I was interested in this until I got to this statement: “The eruptions were so huge, they pumped vast amounts of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, and there were spikes of global warming.”

    Aren’t these scientists the ones who classify gases? CO2 is not now, nor then, a green house gas. It’s plant food.

    Dorks. And it originates in Wuhan.

    1. Any Geologist spewing the Globble Warmenting/Greenhouse Gas bilge isn’t any sort of Geologist in my books, but a “political geologist”….with some geological material under their belts. They should live under the same conditions on this planet prior to “oxygenation” of the atmosphere, or on planet Venus to gain some perspective. This planet is “dynamic”, ie nothing stays the same.

      1. The other two planet syou mention have primarily CO2 atmospheres; one is ho, the other is cold. Couldhat be due to:

        1. Distance from the Sun
        2. Density of the atmosphere?

        You cannot do this experiemnt with Mars, but if you looka the temperature/pressure relationship on the Venutian atmosphere, you will note that where the barometric pressure is equivalent to Earth’s (sevral kms up) the temperature is also roughly the same.. Curious, it’s almost as if there was an adiabatic temperature/pressure relationship. Possibly there is a unoiversal law here, but we need to test more planets first.

        1. Variables must be:

          1. Ratio of planetary mass to atmospheric mass – determinging atmospheric presssure at the surface
          2. Radiative input at ground level – determinging atmospheric presssure at the surface
          3. Composition of the lower atmosphere – convectivity AKA rate of heat loss from the surface
          4. Composiion of the upper atmosphere – radiative output AKA rate of heat loss from the planet. This must equal he icoming radiation power for equilibrium

  10. Warmth and water is essential for life, so I was told in the 70’s as the ice age scare was all the rage. Now they tell us that a warmer and wetter climate will do us all in? We better move them research institutions with their professors together to Antarctica to assure their survival 🙂

    1. No, we’d better move the professors of this bullshit TO institutions, of the medical kind … if you get my drift.
