Smoking gun found for Permian mass extinction

Post by raspberry-blower »

Scientists have found a possible cause for the Permian Great Dying event - guess what caused it?
About 250 million years about 95 per cent of life was wiped out in the sea and 70 per cent on land. Researchers at the University of Calgary believe they have discovered evidence to support massive volcanic eruptions burnt significant volumes of coal, producing ash clouds that had broad impact on global oceans.

Yep, burning huge amounts of coal b*****s up the climate...
