So now the Permian Extinction was caused by .... Global Warming. Why not. If you can't blame Palin or Beck; blame global warming.
RE: So now the Permian Extinction was caused by .... Global Warming
If there were no greedy humans burning fossil fuels to create the warming, who did ? ( environmentalists won’t accept nature for an answer ).
I LOVE your nickname! I used to have some of those tubes in my junkbox!
Isn't Palin responsible for global warming?
I recommend the following book which explains what happened then at the Permian extinction due to these massive volcanic eruptions.
Written by Peter D. Ward, it is titled Out of Thin Air, and describes the horrific oxygen crash that occurred when much of the life forms that created oxygen through biological processes vanished. The subtitle is Dinosaurs, Birds, and the Earth’s Ancient Atmosphere.
It is NOT exciting reading but basically describes what happened during that extinction and explains how dinosaurs came out of it with a type of respiratory process different than other creatures, and one birds inherited.
This explains why human climbers reaching the top of Mt. Everest with respiration packs have witnessed birds migrating over the Himalayas at incredible altitudes. Their bodies literally act like oxygen concentrators.
