New Study: What’s Scarier than the Permian Extinction? Burn All the Fossil Fuels to Find Out.

If we burn all the fossil fuels “not only will the resultant climate change be faster than anything Earth has seen for millions of years, the climate that will exist is likely to have no natural counterpart, as far as we can tell, in at least the last 420 million years.” — Gavin Foster, Professor of Isotope Geochemistry at the University of Southampton

Back in the 1780s as coal-fired smoke stacks sprouted across England to belch their black soot into the hitherto virgin skies of Earth, it’s likely we had not an inkling of the destruction they were ultimately capable of unleashing:

Svante Arrhenius, by the late 19th Century, had hinted that coal burning might warm the Earth by a tiny bit in a few thousand years. But the very fossils we were digging up and burning at an ever-more-rapid pace warned of a different and far more ominous story (see video above). They hinted of a time when massive volumes of ancient carbon stored in the Earth were released into the atmosphere over the course of thousands of years. And that this release created such hot and toxic conditions that, for most living things, the Earth was no longer habitable.

Unsafe Warming

The Permian-Triassic Extinction of 252 million years ago was the worst hothouse catastrophe that has ever occurred in all of the geological record. It wiped out 96 percent of marine species and more than 70 percent of terrestrial vertebrates. It was the worst of many such hothouse events sparked by rising levels of greenhouse gasses that now serve as a clear warning in the fossil record of the dangers we invite.

Conservatives are suicidal.

Just as a human you would think they would at least be concerned with their own offspring. But they aren't. Even THAT is super-ceded by their all mighty and only god, their political party.

During the Permian Extinction the oceans flipped from supporting aerobic organisms to anaerobic organisms. It flipped form oxygen rich to oxygen poor. And it took 5 million years for it to flip back. Life on land took 20 million years to recover.

All these expanses in time translate to forever for the human race.

But the children in the Republican party are like ignorant passengers on the Titanic who don't know yet that the ship is sinking so they go on gleefully sipping tea and marveling at the icebergs. Noam Chomsky called the Republican party "the most dangerous institution in human history".

It is.

It's evolution. Nature will prevail. Panicking about it is temporary and useless.

If we're causing the event to occur then we can stop it. Doing nothing is suicidal.

Global warming is bullshit and the people that support it are fools.

Yeah! Fuck science, jump off a cliff and prove the theory of gravity wrong.

What a load of excrement. There is NO empirical evidence that supports the theory that global warming caused the extinction. There is TONS of empirical evidence to show that an ice age did. This is a special kind of stupid and only people who are true scientific cripples, who can't understand that computer models are nothing more than fiction, will believe this level of idiocy.

Not sure any of the ice ages caused mass extinction events. Still, nature proves it's "Adapt or Die". If we don't survive, so be it.

Try this thought on for size. For 75% of the history of this planet it has been significantly warmer than it is today. Ten to twenty degrees. When it has been warm it has been PROVABLY better. The PETM (Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum) was one of the events that global warmers loved to point to as a mass extinction time. The problem for them is the paleo record is well known. So well known that we can tell you that some benthic forams died out in localized sea floor areas, but terrestrial life exploded. Every single major critter that we enjoy today, evolved during the PETM. It was truly a Garden of Eden.

There is one over riding scientific principle which is called the Principle of Uniformitarianism. That principle states that things that are happening now....have happened in the past, and will continue to happen into the future. Every historical, and paleontological record we have shows that when it has been warmer it has been better. Every. Single. One. The only time that warmth is claimed to be bad is in the computer models of the AGW supporters. Their's is the only voice out there that makes these claims. Claims that are refuted by every record we have.

We're not, and the stated goal of the AGW elitists is for the world to expend 76 trillion dollars to completely rebuild the energy systems of the planet all for their stated goal of lowering the global temperature by ONE degree in 100 years. Maybe. It takes a special breed of gullible to fall for a fraud as weak as that one.

It requires the vast majority of humanity to change the direction in which we are moving. One can lead, but others have to follow or it does no good. When humanity realizes it's adapt or die, they'll do something about it. Until then, enjoy the ride.

Odd how conservatives are drawn to threads like this like moths to a flame. They seem to be filling a need to hear themselves say "everything's fine, nothing to worry about". Probably the same people that find an uneven mole and tell themselves "everything's fine, nothing to worry about".

Best not to pay attention to doctors or scientists because many times they reveal a reality that is just too scary.

Cons don't you have a red cup to protest somewhere? Or some other snowflake non-issue?

Back in the 1780s as coal-fired smoke stacks sprouted across England to belch their black soot into the hitherto virgin skies of Earth, it’s likely we had not an inkling of the destruction they were ultimately capable of unleashing:

Svante Arrhenius, by the late 19th Century, had hinted that coal burning might warm the Earth by a tiny bit in a few thousand years. But the very fossils we were digging up and burning at an ever-more-rapid pace warned of a different and far more ominous story (see video above). They hinted of a time when massive volumes of ancient carbon stored in the Earth were released into the atmosphere over the course of thousands of years. And that this release created such hot and toxic conditions that, for most living things, the Earth was no longer habitable.

The Permian-Triassic Extinction of 252 million years ago was the worst hothouse catastrophe that has ever occurred in all of the geological record. It wiped out 96 percent of marine species and more than 70 percent of terrestrial vertebrates. It was the worst of many such hothouse events sparked by rising levels of greenhouse gasses that now serve as a clear warning in the fossil record of the dangers we invite.

I learned long ago that 95% of the conservatives here think science is the same as guessing and holy books are concrete fact that can never be refuted no mater what evidence there is. These types of threads, though important for people that actually are looking for factual information, are, for cons, just another brainless exercise where they can flail about how everything's ok, and all the PH.D's on Earth are wrong and they're right, and how Stephen Hawking is an idiot...you can go on forever.

They NEED reassurance more than knowledge. Their minds are hardwired to fear so they reach for ANY explanation that isn't scary and cling to it like a rat on a log out in the middle of the ocean. Its easy to feel sorry for them yes, but their over the top fear of reality is doing great harm to the other humans on Earth.

Here though, best to pat them on the head and give them a cookie and send them on their way. They don't understand science and reject facts outright.

Get a mole checked versus spending tens of trillions on unreliable "green energy".

Yeah, that's a great comparison.

Liberals have a need to say, CO2 is the worst thing ever!! We're all gonna die.

And then when nuclear energy is suggested, they discover that there is something worse than CO2. LOL!

The Permian-Triassic Extinction of 252 million years ago was the worst hothouse catastrophe that has ever occurred in all of the geological record. It wiped out 96 percent of marine species and more than 70 percent of terrestrial vertebrates. It was the worst of many such hothouse events sparked by rising levels of greenhouse gasses that now serve as a clear warning in the fossil record of the dangers we invite.

Just as a human you would think they would at least be concerned with their own offspring. But they aren't. Even THAT is super-ceded by their all mighty and only god, their political party.

During the Permian Extinction the oceans flipped from supporting aerobic organisms to anaerobic organisms. It flipped form oxygen rich to oxygen poor. And it took 5 million years for it to flip back. Life on land took 20 million years to recover.

All these expanses in time translate to forever for the human race.

But the children in the Republican party are like ignorant passengers on the Titanic who don't know yet that the ship is sinking so they go on gleefully sipping tea and marveling at the icebergs. Noam Chomsky called the Republican party "the most dangerous institution in human history".

It is.

It's evolution. Nature will prevail. Panicking about it is temporary and useless.

If we're causing the event to occur then we can stop it. Doing nothing is suicidal.

I learned long ago that 95% of the conservatives here think science is the same as guessing and holy books are concrete fact that can never be refuted no mater what evidence there is. These types of threads, though important for people that actually are looking for factual information, are, for cons, just another brainless exercise where they can flail about how everything's ok, and all the PH.D's on Earth are wrong and they're right, and how Stephen Hawking is an idiot...you can go on forever.

They NEED reassurance more than knowledge. Their minds are hardwired to fear so they reach for ANY explanation that isn't scary and cling to it like a rat on a log out in the middle of the ocean. Its easy to feel sorry for them yes, but their over the top fear of reality is doing great harm to the other humans on Earth.

Here though, best to pat them on the head and give them a cookie and send them on their way. They don't understand science and reject facts outright.

I learned long ago that progressives, such as yourself, traded in intellectual curiosity for religious belief a long, long time ago. A scientist never stops asking questions. A religious nutjob never questions the "consensus". A thinking person, reads every bit of evidence they can to arrive at a reasoned, scientific conclusion, not a consensus. A progressive, on the other hand, never questions what their authoritarian masters tell them. Theirs is not to reason why, theirs is just to do...or else.

95%? Not 94% or 96%, but 95%. Interesting. Do you have actual data to back up that statement or are you just posting your personal opinion?

People need to remember when reading t his thread that that OP is an emotional hemophiliac.......easy to verify just reading the tite of his threads.

Im laughing......waaaaaaaaaay back in the late 70's when I was in college, the Malthus crap was being laughed at. Everybody knows his theory was debunked..............

New Study: What’s Scarier than the Permian Extinction? Burn All the Fossil Fuels to Find Out.

If we burn all the fossil fuels “not only will the resultant climate change be faster than anything Earth has seen for millions of years, the climate that will exist is likely to have no natural counterpart, as far as we can tell, in at least the last 420 million years.” — Gavin Foster, Professor of Isotope Geochemistry at the University of Southampton

*****
Back in the 1780s as coal-fired smoke stacks sprouted across England to belch their black soot into the hitherto virgin skies of Earth, it’s likely we had not an inkling of the destruction they were ultimately capable of unleashing:

Svante Arrhenius, by the late 19th Century, had hinted that coal burning might warm the Earth by a tiny bit in a few thousand years. But the very fossils we were digging up and burning at an ever-more-rapid pace warned of a different and far more ominous story (see video above). They hinted of a time when massive volumes of ancient carbon stored in the Earth were released into the atmosphere over the course of thousands of years. And that this release created such hot and toxic conditions that, for most living things, the Earth was no longer habitable.

[polarbear]

Odd how conservatives are drawn to threads like this like moths to a flame. They seem to be filling a need to hear themselves say "everything's fine, nothing to worry about". Probably the same people that find an uneven mole and tell themselves "everything's fine, nothing to worry about".

Best not to pay attention to doctors or scientists because many times they reveal a reality that is just too scary.

Cons don't you have a red cup to protest somewhere? Or some other snowflake non-issue?

Get a mole checked versus spending tens of trillions on unreliable "green energy".

Yeah, that's a great comparison.

Liberals have a need to say, CO2 is the worst thing ever!! We're all gonna die.

And then when nuclear energy is suggested, they discover that there is something worse than CO2. LOL!

That`s exactly what the greenies did in Germany

I learned long ago that progressives, such as yourself, traded in intellectual curiosity for religious belief a long, long time ago. A scientist never stops asking questions. A religious nutjob never questions the "consensus". A thinking person, reads every bit of evidence they can to arrive at a reasoned, scientific conclusion, not a consensus. A progressive, on the other hand, never questions what their authoritarian masters tell them. Theirs is not to reason why, theirs is just to do...or else.

I'm an agnostic, 99.9% sure there is no god, but 100% surety about anything is only offered up by the religious types. "A scientist never stops asking questions". Yeah, they're still studying gravity but how many scientists do you think don't accept gravity as fact?

Sorry man, you muddy up the whole thing by "well no one knows for sure 100% so therefore we don't know anything". Yes we do know, the PH.D's of the world have known and accepted the reality of global warming caused by humans dumping billions of excess tons of carbon into the atmosphere which has accumulated over the last 250 years until now the biosphere cannot absorb anymore.

There isn't any debate, there is no "well we just don't know 100% blah blah blah". We know enough, the science is settled and there is no longer debate among scientists. The only derps who claim there is a 'debate' are people either profiting from the fossil fuel industry, paid shills for them, or the uneducated who have been duped by one of the previous groups.

Sorry, conservatism and 'intellectual curiosity' are as far apart as either side of the universe. Conservatives generally gravitate to a magic flying grandpa in the sky who rubs his magic lamp and a talking snake appears.

No, they accept the AGW "theory" because they get money to do so. Remove the cash cow and suddenly they can once again think for themselves and they reverse their story.
