The World's Largest Mass Extinction May Have Been Caused by Burning Coal
Really? I used to think PM was a reliable, steady company that vetted their material. Instead, they take a really loose theory and turn it into a "Global Warming, see what happens" statement. Arggg...
Don't bother to explain how the fire was caused.
Don't explain how totally different a single massive fire worldwide is from having small fires over centuries.
Biased rubbish, not science.
The writer is a biased asshole. There is no FAIRNESS in the article. He doesn't deserve ANY FAIRNESS.
"Right now, we’re in the middle of another mass extinction caused by our insatiable appetite for fossil fuels, and there’s a good chance that our own species could be one of the casualties."
Does that sound unbiased and FAIR? ITS BIASED LYING RUBBISH!
Does the title say it was volcanic eruptions that caused it? No, he misleads the reader hoping the reader will assume that its the same as having coal burning power plants that barely release ANYTHING.
GUT THE SCUM THAT WROTE THIS LYING BULLSHIT. USE A DULL KNIFE TO MATCH HIS INTELLIGENCE.
These people are our enemies. Stop giving them any breaks. They support stealing and looting from anyone who doesn't have the ability to blackmail them. Get them out of the gene pool ASAP.
The only "evidence" this article is proof of is the continued leftward slide of the publication into the pseudo-scientific realm of political fantasy. I ask just exactly what does this type of article have to do with "Popular Mechanics" in the first place? This is also "evidence" of why I no longer waste my money on this rag.
(Basic leftist logic)
and he just bought a second for $8.5 million.
But it gets better. Yes he flies a lot.
Gore has vilified fossil fuel usage for decades. In his new book, he writes “Virtually every news and political commentary program on television is sponsored in part by oil, coal and gas companies — not just during campaign seasons, but all the time, year in and year out — with messages designed to soothe and reassure the audience that everything is fine, the global environment is not threatened.
But what did Gore turn around and do? He sold his Current TV network to Al Jazeera for $500 million. Gore reportedly pocketed $100 million .
So what’s the problem? The problem is that Al Jazeera is funded by Qatar, which receives the bulk of its wealth from fossil fuels.
The hypocrite ignores the fact that he had criticized the influence of fossil fuel money in television, but then got very wealthy selling his network to another network that exists because of fossil fuel money. Al Jazeera had the money to pay Gore $500 million because of fossil fuels. Does Gore see a contradiction in his position. While Gore said he understands the criticism, he disagrees with it because Al Jazeera is a great network and has won major awards.
Now, someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I don’t ever recall Gore saying that it was OK to take fossil fuel money in television as long as the network is a good network or is one that has won awards. He is engaging in the illogical fallacy of special pleading, which is where someone applies a special exemption to their rules when those rules contradict their actions.
Just like the law makers who don't follow the law.
Wake up America!
They as law makers should receive double the consequences of ilegal actions.
Disarm the law abiders it's much easier for a home invasion and an easy get away. Hell they would probably break their arms patting themselves on the back for the drop in prison population because the crooks have no resistance.
I think it was this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_uiN...
Now we know the cosmic ray impacts and increased volcanic activity corresponds with the GSM. Keep the long johns and parkas safe she is gonna get chilly.
Everyone knows it was hunters with "high powered, assault rifles", on full semi-automatic and using high magazine clips that caused the extinction of the dinosaur.
Here is some details on the boy and another girl, who was a 30's actor who died in Hollywood.

Maybe some idea for a book?
But any chance for the global warming crowd to push the anti human agenda.
"it could show us what’s in store for our planet in the present. It’s no coincidence that coal burning led to the largest mass extinction in the Earth’s history: it’s very bad for life and for the planet. Right now, we’re in the middle of another mass extinction caused by our insatiable appetite for fossil fuels, and there’s a good chance that our own species could be one of the casualties."
CO2 comprises .003% of our atmosphere. It is not toxic.
Besides suppressing mans progress another tactic is to slowly poison the air.
Lots of peer reviewed facts regarding the danger of heavy metals. So to "save us" they spray the air at 40,000 feet 24/7/365 days of the year.
Now, however, there is another far more insidious layer of toxicity that is not being addressed at all in any mainstream, corporate-controlled news, and it is affecting our very survival. It is, however, being addressed more and more by independent researchers who have supporting evidence to back up their Internet reports.
For more than a decade, first the United States and then Canada’s citizens have been subjected to a 24/7/365 day aerosol assault over our heads made of a toxic brew of poisonous heavy metals, chemicals, and other dangerous ingredients. None of this was reported by any mainstream media. The US Department of Defense [DOD] and military have been systematically blanketing all our skies with what are known as Chemtrails (also known as Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering).(2) These differ vastly from the usual plane contrails that evaporate rather quickly in the sky. Chemtrails do not dissipate. Rather, planes (fitted with special nozzles) release aerosols “lines” in the sky that do not evaporate. Multiple planes are deployed, flying parallel (or often “checkerboard” patterns) overhead; and soon the sky is blanketed with many grayish-white lines [miles and miles long, although this is changing]. At first, these lines are thin; but soon they expand and, in a short time, merge together. Our once-blue sky has vanished and has been replaced by a grayish-white toxic haze that blots out and greatly diminishes our usual sunshine.

If coal in deposits under the ground was that dangerous. We would have had some disaster in the modern era where the coal caught fire under ground. This has in fact happened, there is a town in the NE US that had to be abandoned due to this.....But it caused no problems for anyone other than the unfortunate townspeople.
Survival-fit lifeforms adapt to changing conditions. Humans evolved to a certain environmental range of heat/humidity/digestion. Adapting builds intelligence. Intelligence builds adapting skills, from bio-engineering to nano-engineering to planetary engineering. Some humans are just a little late in their cognitive development and a little early in believing they're canaries in a coal mine.
Glad to see y'all having fun with this subject.
The writer has as much intelligence as a worm and that is unfair to the worm.
Have you seen the inside of a University in your lifetime? I don't even ask is you know what scientific inquiry is based on.
It is a shame to see a writing such as this on this Forum.
