P-T mass extinction was due to an ice age, and not to warming

  Blogspam of https://www.unige.ch/communication/communiques/en/2017/cdp060317en/ https://www.unige.ch/communication/communiques/en/2017/cdp06... Site takes somebody's press release, word for word, and inserts its own phony author credit. Nice.

    Blatant plagiarism of an anonymous press release. Dreadful! Mass circulation newpapers do this on a daily basis for rather obvious reasons. WUWT comes into this category as the world's most popular climate website. The copy is not quite word for word: Watts deletes 'contact Urs Schaltegger, [telephone number]'. For which, I guess Professor Schaltegger is grateful. The finding that climate warming is not the only explanation of global ecological disasters in the past on Earth is of course of minor interest.

      (I don't have a background in any science.) Why is it of minor interest? Is it because it is one of many theories or most people agree on just climate warming?

      You personally have made 4 of the last 6 HN submits of their blogspam articles. Why are you trying to drive undeserved traffic to their site? And why defend blogspam sites in general?
