>durrr weather changes so its totally normal that 60% of all the mammals, fish, birds and insects are dead
yes?
are you fucking retarded?
99% of everything that has ever lived is fucking dead
250 million years ago a basalt flow volcano in Siberia flooded the land with molten rock for 350,000 years straight, creating decades of volcanic winter and acid rains at times, and afterwards, when the solidified volcanic rock covered the area of modern USA and towered 10 km high and magma forced its way laterally, it heated up and released 100,000 Gigatonnes of co2 in one go
200 times more than estimated cumulative total anthropogenic co2 emissions for the past 250 years
co2 release raised the global average temp by 5°C and triggered oceanic methane release, which raised it by another 5°C to 10°C , bringing the grand total up to ~15°C
95% of all oceanic life, 75% of land life and 96% of all remaining biomass died out in a literal instant on geologic scale.
biosphere took 10 million years to recover.
all of this before humans were even on the fucking shopping list
