Not Possible!
A computer simulation of the Earth's climate 250 million years ago suggests that global warming triggered the so-called "great dying".Global Warming? 250 million years ago? But there was no power generation, no greenhouse gasses. Heck, there was no mankind. This could not have happened, just couldn't have.
A dramatic rise in carbon dioxide caused temperatures to soar to 10 to 30 degrees Celsius higher than today, say US researchers.
The warming had a profound impact on the oceans, cutting off oxygen to the lower depths and extinguishing most lifeforms, they write in the latest issue of Geology.
Yeah, uh-huh.
