Why The Great Dying Locked Earth in a Climate Nightmare #extinction #climatechange #science

The Great Dying wiped out 94% of ocean life, marking Earth’s most brutal extinction event. But why did the planet stay scorching hot for millions of years after? Zhen Xu and their team discovered that ancient Siberian volcanoes pumped massive amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, acting like a thick blanket trapping heat. The twist: when tropical forests—Earth’s natural air conditioners—collapsed, the planet lost its main way to cool down. Using carbon models and fossil data, scientists proved that missing forests made the heat linger, locking the climate in overdrive. This isn’t just ancient history—it’s a warning. If we lose our tropical ecosystems today, we risk repeating that catastrophe. Nature isn’t just beautiful, it’s essential.
