lyrics

Just because there was a meteor
and a big dust cloud that made it get real cold…

The biggest mass extinction wasn’t the one that happened to the dinosaurs
We evolved from 4% of species of the one 250 million years before

Permian – Triassic – a mono-continent existed on the planet
It was dramatic, ocean acidic, when an enormous volcano decided to split it.
Caused global warming, CO2 forming, bacteria emitted a hell a lotta methane,
Ozone depletion (mass extinction!) gamma radiation (decomposition!)
redistribution because of extinction –

Marine life develops complexity

The biggest mass extinction wasn’t the one that happened to the dinosaurs
We evolved from a fraction of species of the one 440 million years ago

Ordovician – Silurian – characterised by extreme glaciation
Oceans lack oxygen, sea levels drop and then, 86% of life on earth is lost again

Late Devonian, mass extinction, prolonged climate change 365 million
years ago, three quarters of species choked when algae suffocated the seas of oxygen –

So animals, insects, plants and amphibians
made their way onto the land

The biggest mass extinction wasn’t the one that happened to the dinosaurs
But do we understand our predicament of changing conditions beyond their sub-norms?
So if you think radically changing the environment will not affect you –

Look at the balance of pre-history and decide what’s true
Look at the fate of high food chain animals and decide what’s true
Look to the balance of geological history and decide what’s true
