- mint2 5y agoWhat is this headline? Why “a man..” gender is irrelevant for the story and what other species could it be? If a turtle or talking hamster came up with it by all means put it in the headline. Okay actual article headline is different and makes more sense.

This talk outlines a lot of evidence for volcanic side effects causing the P-T extinction, from global warming, to release of mercury, to increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide. There's even some evidence presented for the volcanism to have burned up a large coal deposit, which would have released a lot of C02 and mercury.
