"Where is that T-Rex? I am going to - kick - his - effin` ARSE!"
"RUN AWAY RUN AWAY! The snails are coming!"
Note the follow passage while keeping a good bead on the title of the article:
"The abundance of mollusks we see are symptoms of the conditions that ultimately caused the extinction."
Note the word SYMPTOMS. Mollusk abundance is symptomatic - not causal.
DOPE!
As always, have at it.
Mollusks? Were Democrats around 250 million years ago?
Of course! Mollusks! It's so obvious. Why didn't I see it before?

BAD SHELLFISH ALERT!
If there are too many mollusks, I volunteer to have a clam bake at my house.
Funny, in the 1980’s I remember the libs screaming that all the shellfish are dying from pollution and they will be extinct if we don’t do something about it.
We did, we elected a Republican and now the shelfish population is fine. And no one got sick.
In another 250 million years, some scientist will determine that the current abundance of leftist morons caused the (yet to come) worst extinction.
Gotta keep an eye on those Braichiopods, they are going to be the doom of us all.
Stop the Madness: Stop Continental Drift Now!!!
next theory: rise of cats prelude to mass extinctions

But the MSM already said is was Bush’ fault?!
I think Cajun chefs could put a pretty good dent in the mollusk population.
bad mollusks. bad
I vow to defeat these mollusk invaders with ample stores of butter and garlic.
“The rise of mollusks across the globe was a harbinger of doom roughly 250 million years ago”
Mollusks you see cause global warming — and global warming.........
Stupid for sure, but not a whole lot stupider than most of what I see on these pre-history shows on TV. The stupidest one of all is the one where a bunch of “proto-humans just sort of come down from from trees and start walking around on two legs on the African savannas with 500-lb predators running around all over the place.
Wiped out by a whelk!
"Instead, these findings support theories suggesting the end-Permian was triggered by ocean changes long in the making, "the climax of a prolonged environmental crisis," Clapham said.
The whole Permian period, stretching from about 300 million to 250 million years ago, saw gradual warming. This would have slowed down circulation in the ocean, eventually leading to very low levels of oxygen in the water. Massive volcanism near the end of the Permian might have wreaked even further havoc on the environment."
The writer of the headline is going to fail his SATs for sure.
Yeah, i think they did a movie about this, but Slim Whitman singing made the Mollusks explode and the world was made safe.
