Yep. And that event, the Great Dying, was actually the last time the earth experienced a similar rate of CO2 rise to today. Though in that case they rose at the modern rate for 100,000 years straight, which fortunately will not happen to us.

climate change has always been the driving factor for mass extinction events. it’s what led to the end of the age of the dinosaurs, not that stupid meteor

Just for clarification: you’re not talking about the End Triassic Period Mass Extinction event are you? Gasses from volcanic eruptions caused acidic rain and 1/3 of the planet’s population was wiped out during that one.

Considering marine life isn’t really alive, it’s not that big of a deal

It happened by itself without us making carbon emissions?

A giant volcano burned all the fossil fuels under Siberia for thousands of years

It was due to a period of massive volcanic activity in Siberia. CO2 rise can be due to natural or artificial factors. In the case of the modern day, it is artificial

the volcanism stuff experienced a period of increased support like in the 90d but it’s not much supported today. Most everyone agrees it was the asteroid

Like it wasn’t a coincidence that a fuckoff huge meteor coincided with their extinction. The idea that “they were on their way out anyways” is no longer supported
