MJ Muse<p>The ‘Great Dying’ wiped out 90% of life, then came 5 million years of lethal heat. New fossils explain why. Siberian Traps, which released huge amounts of carbon and other planet-heating gases into the atmosphere, causing intense global warming. Enormous numbers of marine and land-based plants and animals died, ecosystems collapsed and oceans acidified. <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/GlobalWarming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalWarming</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/ExtinctionCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ExtinctionCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/ClimateScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateScience</span></a><br><a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/great-dying-wiped-90-life-090025845.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">yahoo.com/news/great-dying-wip</span><span class="invisible">ed-90-life-090025845.html</span></a></p>
