Heh dudster-lol. I mostly only play wts, so I hang over on the Canadain wts thread with onepath and shooter.

I am holding CDE 2010 $2.50 calls, MTO wts, CSI wts, GBG wts, FR B wts.

Permian" Yes the volcanism caused the CO2 build up which raised the tmperature, which then casue methane hydrates to meltand released methane with is 23 times as much a greenhouse gas as CO2.

The entire artic is frozen methane and it is being released big time. Think of all the bird shit-lol.

All I am saying is let's make sure we know what is going on!

Always nice to see you.

However the initial cooling alone could have been sufficient to cause mass extinctions alone without any follow on warming effect.

eruptions may have caused dust clouds and acid aerosols which would have blocked out sunlight and thus disrupted photosynthesis both on land and in the upper layers of the seas, causing food chains to collapse.

The sudden onset freezing temperatures and no food will kill whole populations far quicker and more throughly than a rise of average temperatures of 1.5 degrees.... Just take Krakatau as a recent and documented example. That was a single relatively small event as was Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Pinatubo all of which caused immediate short term cooling world wide.
