Who did they blame for the lost labor, healthcare costs, etc.... BEFORE CLIMATE CHANGE?
The Permian-Triassic extinction event, also known as the "Great Dying," is widely considered the worst cataclysmic event in Earth's history. This event, which occurred around 252 million years ago, resulted in the extinction of an estimated 96% of marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species.

When did the "Big Five" mass extinctions happen, and what were their causes?
